3rd week of 97% - so now what happens? - mt
Posted: Nov 12, 2012
Are they going to fire me? And is it true that they can remotely go into my computer to see if I'm working or not? See what websites I've been at?
I would like to know if this true also. If it is that is illegal, an invasion of privacy. - WHAT?
[ In Reply To ..]No one has a right to go into your computer and see what sites you have been into. That is illegal. These are our personal computers regardless that we do work on them. I would like to know how past employees know this has happened because I have heard this before.
2+ yrs at 99%+, recently below 99% - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Lost my bonus. They haven't fired me yet. If they do, they do. I don't check FIESA any more.
I quit looking at FIESA months ago. s/m - mt
[ In Reply To ..]In order to stay sane, I had to quit upsetting myself with that crap. And yes, if they fire me, oh well. I'll collect UE and take a nice long break.
Can they even make us look at FIESA? - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I posted the above, was "99% 2+ yrs."
They try to make it sound really casual, just pop into FIESA above work. But can they require us to perform tasks we are not paid for?
sorry, meant, "before work," not above work - nm

They have never paid us for all the work we do - tryingtofocus
[ In Reply To ..]I mean, seriously the only thing you get paid for are the lines you produce-forget the time spent looking up dr. names or anything else, the time you spend reading company emails, etc. Didn't seem like a big deal until line wages got cut. I'd be better off being paid by the hour.
Me again, "was 99%;" I get the idea of FIESA - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I appreciate the opportunity to learn from my mistakes. But when you are doing new drs every day with different MT instructions for each account, institution and speaker, it is not a matter of my making careless mistakes or once I see a blank filled in, it will help me. Just wanted to say that.
Too much inconsistency and nit-pick error marks - really?
[ In Reply To ..]One QA will mark for something, another won't, and then next week will? Looking at it from a patient perspective if my care is not at risk, then why mark off for small stupid stuff. And what about the doctors who have runnnnonnnsentences? If I didn't end it somewhere some reports would be one long sentence but I get marked off for leaving out "AND" and starting a new sentence? My favorite are the doctors who runs all the impressions/diagnoses/plans together and half of them are partial sentences, so I started numbering them so it made sense-told not to number them unless he does. Seriously? Let it all run together?
you are so right - inconsistency, FIESA, lack of pay...
[ In Reply To ..]The fact that they think that they can "demand" us to look at Fiesa is beyond me...pay me to do it and then I will. In the beginning I didn't mind Fiesa simply b/c the account I work on is an account from H...and it helped me to see the blanks. But then after being here for a while, I started getting marked off for stupid stuff. Fixing a run-on sentence, taking "and" out and putting a period to start a new sentence, being marked off 3 points for putting a comma between each lab instead of making each one a different sentence fragment (not in the specs by the way, just how QA now wants it) and the list goes on. My QA used to be good. In fact, I will have a 99% or higher until it gets close to the end of the pay period and then all the sudden I forgot how to do my job and my QA drops to a 97%. They do it on purpose. They find the smallest thing to mark off. They want us to be perfect all the time, but they are not perfect. They can't even run a company and keep employees. There comes a point in time that you get so sick and tired of sitting here and doing so much work for free. There are serious problems in regards to our pay and our benefits (ha, ha there) and this is industry wide. I love working as an MT, but it is sickening when I have had to have higher education and experience on top of that to even get my job and barely making minimum wage. In fact, i am making a lot less than when I started as an MT over 10 years ago. Shouldn't that be opposite...shouldn't we make more as time goes on and not less. Sorry I had to vent.
When I lost my bonus, I quit looking at fiesa. It was that simple. - nm

Fiesa - Buffy
[ In Reply To ..]I hate Fiesa. I left out a coma, OMG fire me. Its stupid. Why dont they ever care about the real job being the medical termninology that is correct. They nag about the small crap because it is a way to keep you down. Good thing this is not my "real" job.
I really don't think they are remotely in our computers. - nm

I don't know - skepticalsam
[ In Reply To ..]Although I don't work there anymore, I was not quite sure about the capabilities associated with being logged into Comagent or having the program installed. Hopefully, I was just being my skeptical self. :)
If it's company-owned, they probably can. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]I use my own computer and was never given any books, equipment, nothing, so I know they aren't keeping tabs on me. I guess that's the only good thing about being given diddly squat by this company to be an EMPLOYER.

To all you wonderful MTs working and slaving your lives away, Happy MT Week. I appreciate you.

I appreciate knowing that I am not alone in this struggle. It is because of all of you, and only you MTs on this board that I manage to stay in this game.

Good grief. I did not change the way I edit. It so depends on how many commas they think you should have.

Everybody must be under pressure because of the cesspool as I see a lot of mistakes when I look up past reports to help with these mush mouths and accents.

I really think the easiest way to send MModal a message would be if everyone, and I mean everyone, just did not participate.

Just received my MT gift. I really think that Medquist must feel "It is the thought that counts". It probably cost them more to mail these then they are worth.

I need an ergonomic mouse pad anyway - did they ever think of giving their "beloved" employees one of those? Oh well. Just another day being an MT. ...

The little "trinkets" some of you have received is extremely comical and a so-called slap in the face to some, but some may view it as an actual good gesture, although I do not agree. When I worked at neurology they used to always acknowledge MT week with flowers or a $25 gift card to our local mall, but when they got a new office manager he combined Secretary's Week and MT Week into one. My coworker and I got acknowledged one year on Secretary's Week - now that is a slap in the face ...
