Cherry Pickers - Sad MT
Posted: Nov 05, 2013
REALLY?? Are we not all in the same position with this company? Are we not all trying to work against impossible odds for a decent paycheck just to keep our heads above water? How and why do the cherry pickers keep getting away with what they are doing without being caught and how can they keep doing what they are doing, knowing they are screwing those of us who don't. You are the same ones over and over, and over. Do you not care that EVERY TIME you dump a bad report it tanks those who get stuck doing it? Do you not have ANY ethics at all? Please, the next time you go to hit return jobs because you've pulled in a bad report, stop and think about what that one little action does to the rest of us who wind up getting them. I've had nothing but the worst of the worst all day today, have very little lines, and am ready to gouge my eyes out...
me too... and who keeps dumping the ultra long reports? - over 2800 seconds
[ In Reply To ..]Not that I mind, but geez...
Cherry picking - Good Gravy
[ In Reply To ..]Are you talking about that one-word-a minute dictator who cannot get her rear in gear and we have to type her dictations that hardly add up to a page, netting less than minimum wage?
Turn them into the boss, mine never put up for it - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I have no use for someone that does this. Luck of the draw people, suck it up and move on. We are supposed to be a team.
Cherry Pickers - Sad MT
[ In Reply To ..]ALL of those mentioned. I don't mind doing my share, but it has to be an equal playing field. It's bad enough they are taking lines away from us whether they will admit it or not. Put that on top of cherry picking day after day and we have no chance of making any money at all. I thought this pay period I may actually get to the minimum wage for my state for the first time in weeks but now am going to be lucky to hit 12,000 for the pay period. All it takes is a day or 2 of getting stuck with all the throw backs and we stand no chance of hitting lines, while those who do the cherry pick and get the plum reports are at least hitting the minimum lines needed. I will never, ever understand how ppl can justify doing this
you feel my pain - precisely
[ In Reply To ..]I have dreams of taking a sledgehammer to my workstation and then sending a thank you note to the dictator!
It is also possible - oabo
[ In Reply To ..]that the good work gets pulled out and sent to India and we are left with the crap. I have long suspected this.
cherry pickers - whodat
[ In Reply To ..]Me too! I remember a while back my supervisor at the time asked us to write down our 10 best dictators ~ no one ever questioned her, but it was in the back of mind that they wanted to send the easiest jobs to India! I truly believe that they do this.
Everytime they hit "return jobs"? What's that? - anon
[ In Reply To ..]There is no "return jobs" on Fluency so I'm not sure how people can cherry pick, unless they choose "abandon" when a report comes up, and these are monitored by the TSMs. I've just been moved to a new region so I'm not sure what the policy is with the new TSM but my old one had a "10 report limit" on abandons per month. Anything over 10 abandons got a call from her.
I've never heard of "return jobs", though ... I've never seen that option.
I havent either - My TSM has zero tolerance
[ In Reply To ..]for abandoning jobs, so not sure how people cherry pick, unless they just sit and wait for a certain job to go by. Interesting about your old TSM's 10 report limit." Every TSM makes up their own rules, I guess. Another thing that sucks about MMoral.
not abandoned, just discarded - no one keeps track of those
[ In Reply To ..]they should, but they don't.
I have no idea how one would discard a job without abandoning it - Anon
[ In Reply To ..]It doesn't make any sense, unless you are using a completely different platform. On the Fluency that I use, there are only *2* ways of getting out of a job - to abandon it or to log off. There is no "return job" or "discard report" feature in the Fluency interface that I use.
if I told you it would encourage more - cherry picking nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
You - Could
[ In Reply To ..]You could "break" the job,which I was always told you use if you get a work type you don't do, like I don't do ops normally but once in a while they enter the wrong work and one comes through. I will usually do it anyway but you can break the job a get rid of it.
I've never cherry-picked in my life, been with MModal for 15 years - anon
[ In Reply To ..]I never even knew there was such a thing, but it doesn't matter anyway, my TSM would NEVER let anyone on our team get away with breaking a job. She would be on the phone calling us so fast our head would spin - just before she put it on the chopping block.
How - Do you know
[ In Reply To ..]How do you know it is cherry picking and not just bad luck on your part or that bad reports are all there are?
by checking the job audit - nm

Well, I'm Doing It Again, Cherry Picking
Feb 16, 2010
Because earlier this morning I transcribed a job where the dictator was absolutely flipping his s**t about some of his reports not coming out exactly the way he wants them. He went on and on, in a very condescending tone, as if I were a first-grader who belonged in the "slower class." I took the time to transcribe his rant verbatim into an e-mail which went to my supervisor, my leads, as well as the QA team, with the request that someone please look over the report to make sure I had done my pa ...
Well, That Cherry Got Picked!

Had a 14-plus minute traditional report by a good dictator show up in my queue, and I hurried through the VR report I was doing to get to it. But, BAM! As soon as I finished the report and went to the next report, that cherry report was plucked and gone! It was only there for a few minutes, so don't tell me it timed out. I HATE that! Oh, but thanks for leaving the reports done by the awful ESL. That was kind. ...

I don't know what else could have explained it. I work at Transcend and got on this evening to work and had 3 reports staring at me first in my q that were from a hard dictator and were STATs that had been OUT OF TAT since 10-11 AM this morning. It would appear they had been skipped all day. I don't know how because I don't know how to cherry pick if I wanted to. Have never tried to. It isn't fair to other MTs. How else could it have happen ...

Cherry Picking
Dec 07, 2014
I have a question. On my account I type a few notes a week, rest is all VR. So, when I see typed notes in my que, I may not take lunch or something so I can hurry up and get that note. I can type almost as fast as I can edit. My problem is this. At a certain time of day, someone comes on their shift and picks out all the typed notes and leaves me the VR. They also take good speakers. I see it ALOT. How do they do this? Can I block it? It's happened so much that now I check ...
I Cherry Pick And I Don't Feel Bad!
Feb 15, 2010
Here's the deal, I'm not saying I cherry pick every minute of my shift, but if I have done one after the other report of difficult dictators, then I will go in and assign myself 2 or 3 jobs to give myself a break. I work directly for a hospital and I know that I am absolutely not the only one who does this. I also cherry pick if the end of my shift is coming up and I find that my lines need a little boost. I will assign myself some easy dictators to boost up my lines ...
Cherry Syrup Vehicle?

My doc says: Observed today, not mentioned above in physical examination, but found to be a wet well circumscribed red rash, which appears to be contact dermatitis possibly secondary to the new Keppra prescription, more likely secondary to the cherry syrup vehicle of that liquid preparation.

One of the absolute WORST dictators from my accounts had a gazillion jobs in the queue this morning, all about the same time stamp (must have been downloaded all at once). I started slogging through them, and after a couple hour,s noticed that his backlog was moving a lot faster. Soon, no more jobs from him were coming into my queue, and I was getting jobs from other doctors. I went to lunch, came back, and lo and behold, a couple of jobs from this doctor, now about 3 or 4 hours older.&nbs ...

Is There A Way To Cherry Pick In EScription?
Dec 23, 2012
Just curious about this because it seemed when I worked my last shift, I had all good doctors for a change. Some of them I'd never typed before. So I got to wondering if people can actually cherry pick on eScription. I was under the impression that was one of the benefits of that software, difficult to do that. We all work the same bad shift, let's share the junk reports, please! ...

There's major cherry pcking going on at my job and there's nothing I can do about it and it makes me soooo mad that I'm considering finding a new job.

Just wondering if anyone has had a problem with rarely ever getting to work on your primary account because you can really rack up some lines on it, only to be given crappy thick accented dictators? The reason I ask, is if work has been slow, then why are the dictations I have been getting in the evening shifts been dictated at 9 and 10 in the a.m.? Shouldn't those have been done during the day shift? I don't know how much more I can take of this place!!! ...
How Cherry-picking MTs Benefit Me.
Feb 07, 2014
On 1 account that I work on, there are a couple of dictators who are the worst of the worst. They actually should be reported to their superiors. Many times each day, these reports are downloaded by MTs who simply return them and rather have no work than try to decipher what these idiots spew out. I admit they are very difficult and many times impossible, as I see where QA returns them to the client with blanks, even after additional ears have given a listen. What I have done ...
Cherry Picking Is Wrong
Oct 07, 2014
Cherry picking is wrong no matter how you look at it. That being said, I believe very strongly that being paid by productivity fosters that very thing! People who are desparate to make a living sometimes resort to doing things that they would not normally do. Add to that the fact that apparently some MTSOs PUNISH employees who do not meet minimum productivity requirements!! When did we start treating medical transcription like factory work???!!! I FIRMLY THINK THAT WE NEED TO BE PA ...

Was taken off completely and now the entire account is gone. The programs are such that they can block off a whole grouping and assign it to one person. They think because you don't see the manager as they do, you are stupid. But I guess we are for work ...

Know With Certainty Supervisor Is Cherry Picking Jobs.
Feb 25, 2014
Whenever I'm working and she is off, the incoming jobs are typical good, bad and indifferent with alternating different dictators, which is okay, just the usual. But, when she is working, there is nothing but bottom of the barrel crappola dictators, with no rotation until one is done dictating it's block and then another lousy one comes on with another huge block of blah blah crap. Never a good one in the bunch - unless, of course, she is gone. Coincidence? I think not. ...

You know who you are, and I know who you are. I have been watching you do this for months now. Whether you realize it or not, while you are playing this game, switching back and forth from VR and typing, logging off and logging on depending on the dictators, you are causing a decrease in my production. You have been around long enough to know if there are numerous reports in typing from yesterday, you should not be on VR doing the easy reports dictated just an hour ago tod ...
