Supervisor Upset - TLMV


Posted: Jan 18, 2015

...because so many people are not making 99.5% accuracy in their audits.  Perhaps it is time to consider that whoever promised the client 99.5% accuracy has something quite strong in their medicine cabinet.  For years, the standard has been 98% and that is for a reason.  That number is possible with humans.  Machines sure can't deliver 99.5%; just ask anyone who has to correct the harebrained interpretations of SR, which never learns, by the way.  Do the doctors have to be 95.5% accurate?  Sorry, just thought I would inject a big fat truckload of humor into this post.

I wish mine had sent that e-mail - I would be delighted to

Kick me in the butt and make me change my life. At this point, I have been beaten into feeling like a moron, so I stay where I am relatively comfortable. Best thing that could happen to me would be to force a change

They will. - Fired for 99.4

Go figure. Too bad the supervisors aren't held to 99.5%. They couldn't even spell correctly in their own emails. Turnover would be unbelievable.

and perhaps we have too many accounts to contend with - didnt fail before pods

My head is spinning so much, eyes doing jumping jacks... look here, go there, remember this, check for headings, check for standards, look at the old reports, back to report, back to ADT, add cc, back to report, back to CP, go find Style guide, shoot... which one do I use, call QA, no answer, guess, back to ADT, arrrrggghhhhh! This whole thing is beyond ridiculous!

Probably upset because too many to performance manage as a result. - LOL

Two minor "errors," and you flunk. We can't always agree where those pesky commas should be! LOL. Sure, some people (claim to) make a great line count with 100% accuracy 100% of the time, but the rest of us mortals don't meet unreasonable demands 100% of the time.

I just thought the same thing! The gall of being upset at 99.48% accuracy!! - sm This company is nuts

When everywhere else industry-wide the going rate is 98%, and they actually have primary accounts on top of that!

Generic emails.. The worst management tool - ever..

[ In Reply To ..]
Nothing like bringing everyone into a pool of failure to motivate you to get out there and work. Deal with people individually so that everyone is not second guessing themselves. BTW, a reasonable accuracy rate would go a long way. 99.5% is a factory standard, not a human standard. Again, we are being treated like assembly line workers. I wonder how many of the suits actually look at the product ASR puts out and we are expected to fix for less money.

Shouldn't I Be The One Upset?

When I send an email that states, "I am OOW on the following accounts: Blah, Blah, Blah and Blah.  I will check back later." Why do I get an email back saying, "Did you check Blah account?" Ummmmm, it is in the list I sent you...  TSMs are sending out their famous backlogs....THEY should know I am OOW, but I feel almost guilty telling them I am OOW.  I have had TSMs tell me that no one else was OOW on such and such a date. Ummmmm, it is likely they are on different accounts. ...

Kinda Upset, Would Like Input
Mar 25, 2012

I've been working in an office for only about 3 months now after about 12 years in-home transcription.  It's a busy office for a doctor who is kind of a "superstar" in his field and I love it.  Here's the thing...  it's a new practice, the entire staff has been here for less than a year and we don't all have hardly any PTO saved up (less than a year and all...) and the doc is going to be closing up the office for 2 weeks to go on vacation.  Several of ...


No Longer Surprised But Always Still Upset--sm
Nov 06, 2014

Yes, I have seen this enough times that it no longer surprises me.  There were 18 reports on my primary.  I have an hour left of my shift.  When I anticipated downloading the next one, all 18 were gone, gone, gone.  It is upsetting.  I would try adjusting my schedule but it would do no good, there normally is too little work during that time as it is.  I already will be taking about 3 hours of PTO for being OOW on Sunday.  It would be 4 but I have made up some ...

...when they need a boatload of us "unfavorables" to resign so they can hurry up and give former QC (previously it was the team lead) people our slots. Nuance should realize that, at the very least, some of us have learned to transcribe right through their stupid bogus scripts, some have even had the same script twice, it has happened so frequently, and we have learned how to do screen shots and keep meticulous records and ... warn others about it. So, especially you folks who have been ...

Badgering Supervisor

Does anyone have any ideas of what to do about a supervisor who always says, "It is a privilege to work at home".  She threatened me that I might have to come in-house to work because I complained about my keyboard no longer being compatible with the new computers.  I have to work weekends in-house on a rotating schedule.  I also said it is difficult to get readjusted when you go in house because the work station is different.  I should have never complained because now she s ...

An MT supervisor told me that when they aren't happy with an MT's work because they aren't following instructions or are getting sloppy, they just take them off the schedule. Sometimes they do it gradually and other times leave them with little or no work. They keep the work for the MTs who are doing the best job with the least fuss. Interesting. ...
