Dont clock out or locked out? - cce


Posted: Apr 07, 2010

So, now if we have to go to the bathroom or some other thing that pulls away from the computer, we dont clock out otherwise we will be locked out for the shift?  What, it is no big thing anymore if we are on the clock but doing something else?  Doesnt that defeat MQ purpose of getting the work done.  If I get locked out, I cant finish my shift so they cant get all the work done.  Its okay for me, I will have a free afternoon, LOL, but it hurts MQ turn around time.  This new thing, swap schedule and lock out, IMHO, is not going to work

But what happens when you don't meet your - minimum production?

You can clock in at ANY time as long as - ups

it is DURING your shift.

You cannot clock in if it is not your scheduled time to work.

So true. I posted below about it being a - Miracle.

About how I was able to have my primary all morning instead of NO JOBS AVAILABLE. I also am now noticing, there is A LOT OF WORK to be done. My primary account keeps having more and more jobs to be done and only 1 person seems to be working. Usually, there are something around 4-6 people on the account. If it keeps up this way, I bet the accounts will be out of turn around time in the next day or two and I bet that has not happened in a very long time, being a Wednesday morning and usually having NO JOBS AVAILABLE.

I see a huge mess coming.

Lastly, I am even willing to work some more hours and I only do when I see we are backlogged with work on my primary, secondary and third accounts because that is how much I care about them. Oh well, MQ's loss.

Locked Out - EVIL!
Mar 03, 2010

Now they're threatening to lock us out if we don't keep our schedules!  This company REALLY wants us to quit!  They are evil!!!  This is beyond stressful and beyond mean.  I really depend on this money, but I think it's time to look for another job.  I'm really sorry it's coming to this.  I really enjoy(ed) transcribing and feeling like I was doing something useful and worthwhile.  Now it's simply not worth it. : ( ...

You are all ready to clock in at precisely the scheduled time only to lose internet connection.  This has happened to me many times, and by the time I have unplugged and replugged and reset modem, and that doesn't work, so had to get on phone with internet tech support, 30 minutes or more have passed by....then what?    OR,  if the power goes out, which can be anywhere from a quick flash on and off to longer....then what?   OR, when getting close to end of shift ...


I Dont Get It
Mar 03, 2012

All the anger and bitterness is not going to make your situation go away or change anything. If people are unhappy, then they need to get to the root of the problem and fix it. Ultimately we as individuals have the power to determine what we will and will not stand for. So many are unhappy with their jobs and from what I can tell every company out there is pretty much the same. It does not matter where you work, if you have a bad manager/team lead/QA, then see about moving to a different r ...

This board is sometimes so disheartening.  All of you new MTs, we are graduating from reputable schools, we are getting jobs and it is no different from any other occupation.  Times change, rules change, technology changes, but if we are not set in our ways and our not willing to grow, things will disappear.  We always blame everyone else, but maybe its time to look at the opportunities that do exist and concentrate on where we do want to be in 5 years or 10 years.  Peop ...

They do NOT pay their MT's. Just work you till you catch on and keep promising you that "the check is in the mail". DONT BITE! Have a call into NC Atty Generals Office. Anyone have anymore stories or info as to how I recover the two grand they owe me, let me know. ...

Why would I stay in a situation ...

I really seriously cannot stand when the work volumes are low, having to bounce around from account to account, in and out of our own BOB. It is hard enough trying to juggle the multiple number of accounts and all of their demands in the profiles, but having to go into another BOB is just plain ridiculous. I made next to no money today, spent more time reading the 4 page profiles after each report because only twice in 5 hours did I have the same hospital. Didn't Amy say she was going to ...

Has there ever been a union for transcriptionists?  I have never heard of one, but have often wondered if that would be beneficial.  I mean if the people want it..why not.  But I don't reallly know about how these unions and things work.  Maybe Ive watched too much TV, but it seems like back in the day when they had unions, nobody made a move without consulting the union.  The Teamsters...that is what I'm thinking of.  Again, It's just a memory to me ...
