Why do people spend time on this board... - Just Wondering

Posted: Mar 04, 2010

when you don't work for the "Q" ? Why do you care what is going on here? I'm just curious.

Maybe it is morbid curiosity. - Like watchin a horror movie.

That MQ wrote and produced.

Maybe people are amazed at what is dished out and what we take.

I don't know, just a guess. I am a soon to be ex-MQ-er. A couple weeks then I am done!!!!

I personally have had enough of living the horror movie that is MQ.

Because most of us work at places that operate exactly - the way MQ does. When MQ makes a - sm

change, especially one that's not good for MTs, invariably my company does the same thing not long after. They all want to be like your company. When you describe what goes on in management, you could be describing my company. Only problem is, most of my coworkers aren't on this board, and if they are, they never mention our company by name. MQ is so big you have your own board. I care just as much about what happens to you at the Q, as I do about what happens at my company. I get a lot of insight into the business, and how you handle certain aspects of your software and company rules, etc. that help me deal with my company. And, reading what's going down at MQ give me a forewarning about what's coming down the road for the rest of us. So I hope you don't mind that others read your board. What happens at MQ, and to MQ employees, affects ALL of us.

I do not work for the Q and asked a simple question earlier because (sm) - anon

as I posted earlier, I am a MT and I am always concerned about what is going on in my industry as a whole. Also, I have friends who work for the Q and I am concerned for them, as well as any other MT.

Come on now, you could have figured this out for yourself, Suitster.

I used to work there for 15 years and cared (past tense) very much for the company. I've been gone for a year and am so happy I left, love my new company, but I still have many former colleagues who are still at the Q and of course I care about what is going on for them.

I have an account where the doctors never enter demographics. I'm spending 5 minutes on each report filling in demographics and cc's from doctors who only slur a last name. Many partial doctor names need to be Googled. If I do about 36 reports a day at 5 minutes each with demographic research then I'm spending 3 hours of my shift working for nothing! How is it for the rest of you? ...

My QC sends out these extremely wordy emails several times a week. I end up skimming them, for a couple reasons. One, because I work on so many different accounts/hospital sites that I'm truly never going to retain any of the information anyway. Second, and most importantly, I DON'T GET PAID TO READ THEM! This can't be legal and has been bugging me forever. Do they seriously think we get paid enough per line to "compensate" reading email?? What do you all do? ...

I was wondering for people who have been at Synernet for a while, is there a list of the team leads for each shift posted somewhere? I find it odd that they hire people, but then never tell anyone who was hired for the position. Aren't team leads there to help if someone should have a question ? I just felt it was odd. ...

Swap Board...maybe for part timers..but I will not go near it as a full time person. I am not risking needing a day off by floating a shift, hoping somebody takes it..then finding another shift. I will use other methods. First Time Right - the accessing old reports part. I have in fact been helped by this a great deal. The problem is it is takes forever to go through a myriad of reports hoping to find the one that possibly will help you. I like the Repository MUCH B ...

One of the team leads sent an email out emphasiziing the importance of exhausting all resources before leaving a blank. I feel like I do. Just curious, how long do you think is an appropriate amount of time to spend researching a blank? I say 3-5 minutes max. After all, we are paid on production. ...

It just seems to me that many MTs spend the majority of their lives worrying about the next bad thing that their employer is going to do to them. No solution. It just occurred to me that a lot of lives are gettng wasted hour by hour because of employer abuse or perceived employer abuse. Your choice. ...

I have been at home working full time for about a year. I have been an MT longer, but I always had kept a job outside of the home also because I like interaction with other. I have found that I am starting to lose my people skills. Do others have this same problem? It is like I have forgotten how to really be able to hold a conversation with others. This is something that really bothers me as I have always loved customer service and working with people and main ...

If anyone knows of a hospital, clinic, or large practice offering remote full-time or part-time employee positions, I would really appreciate an email. I have the sudden need to help support a family member long term (in addition to myself) and really need to find a long-term remote employee position for the stability. Yes, I watch all the various employment sites and even individual hospital sites, but I was hoping that maybe, just maybe someone who works for a hospital that does th ...

It has been inconvenient, and maybe a bit confusing at times, to check my time card hours for my shift as, because of my time zone, part of my hours show up on the next day because I work 2nd shift. I wonder if I will get overtime for yesterday, even though I did not work overtime. I had to start work several hours early because of maintenance, so all hours were completed before the hour my hours start showing up on the next day. Fine. But the last couple hours of yesterday show up as today, ...

Ever since they have changed Schedule Source and now it has a display called today's activity with "actuals" hours, this has not matched the hours shown with the time clock punches and is less than the hours according to the clock punch. The difference adds up to a significant amount over time. I am really suspicious about being jypped paywise. ...

I worked for MQ full time and then went to part time last year, before finally quitting altogether because of health problems. I seem to remember an obscure policy that if you were full time and then went to part time, you could not go back to full time for a period of at least 1 year. Can anyone verify that for me? IF, and this is a big IF, I were to go back to work for MQ, I would need to be full time. ...
