Dang you team leads, quit siphoning off good reports before I get - to do any. You ought to be

Posted: Jan 15, 2015

Ashamed of yourself, and your supervisor should be fired for permitting it.

There are no more team leads. - They are gone

They forgot to restrict their typing pools. They ARE still around, some of them, - only with MUCH better work pools than us.

...kept their jobs in production... - duh!

...not hard to understand

Can anyone cherry pick like that? I didn't - think it was possible....

If it is, that would really be ROTTEN !!

Yep, some are granted access to any account they want, any - facility, even any specific WT or MD.

It is a carryover from their days as team leads with nothing much to do (hence their elimination) and were permitted to pick and choose when they were required to do production instead of sitting idly. I watch jobs already in my queue disappear right before my eyes, and they are NOT choosing the impossible ones, I can guarantee you. Supervisors permit this, and HR turns a blind eye because they do not want any more resignations of "the good ones." They would much prefer we complaining types disappear. Another reason for those blind eyes.

Yea, so much for turn around time since I saw - a report

that didn't need to be done until 5:00 p.m.-ish the next day get done before the job that needed to be done within the next hour and a half. Oh I guess that was because that next report was a horrible ESL and a straight type job as well. Those always get passed by the cherry pickers.

I don't know how it's being done either but it someone is able to pick and chose their reports and to heck with turn-around time. See it all the time.

Don't assume the disappearing jobs... - anon

are because of former TLs cherrpyicking. Firstly,there was never a time when TLs had "nothing much to do." There were a lot of behind-the-scenes duties that regular typists are not aware of that kept them quite busy. Not fair to speak about a position and associated duties you know nothing about. It's also misleading to assume the former TLs are the reason reports are leaving your pool. There is work being downloaded constantly and not all pools are alike for every typist. You need to also consider there are offshore managers assigning work to their workers all day long and that also plays a part in the disappearing work. Note not all former TLs have the access you speak of. I would dare to say very few permanently keep that kind of access.

With the new pay my queue has really changed - Hapless

I have 2 ESL who are nervous as hell and cannot do a coherent report. One of them dictated 248 lines of nonsense for a discharge summary! It was so long that the VPN disconnected. Because they usually dictate in blocs, I get 4 or 5 of them at a time, so I'm screwed. This pay I will lose over $200 from one of them from a CPSE error from dictation done with his screaming kids in the foreground. I hate to admit it, but I have cried myself to sleep a few times.

reports - me

We did not siphon reports, there's no time. The ONLY time we assigned any reports is if they were going out of TAT and we didn't study them to see who did them and how great the dictator is. We had dozens of accounts to monitor, reports to do, watch emails, do go-between with the facility and trust me, unless somebody isn't doing their job there's no room for this.

NOBODY IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION YOU MAY HAVE. All the sudden no matter who is "on" always has a busy notice up on their status. How frustrating is this when you work on an account where seems like every other crappy speaker wants things done their way, which contradicts everything else and ultimately makes no sense. But do you think that anybody would be available to answer a question H NO!!! All their "changes" to make things better are only making things wors ...

Ok Team Leads: We all know that you are busy and we all know that you answer countless e-mails a day, but guess what?? That is the job that you chose and you knew that you would have to take this on. I am not just a robot who deserves short, snotty comments when asking a question pertaining to my job. You may e-mail but the tone and shortness can be heard when reading the e-mail. We are human beings that deserve a descent answer. I'm not saying you have ...

Who has the the insane job of deciding on changes in the account specifics? Not the important ones. I am talking about the stupid little sneaky ones that are just put in place to trap us into not making our bonus.

I have the same old complaint----my team lead and her sidekide "SUPER QC" not answering their emails. Only this time, I actually got a response (2 days later, but at least I got one this time). I was intrigued and surprised....until I read the email. It seems she did not even read it. I was asking her an account specifics question because one QC corrected me for doing something one way, so I did it her way and got corrected by another QC.....same pay period, no bonus.&nbs ...

No one "leads" anymore, they just direct traffic. I can remember when the "leaders" used to help their employees so they could get a better line count, get through the hard dictators, or just do whatever was in their power to be encouraging. Now it seems they just use their positions to grab the good jobs that have good dictators or normal dictations like the ops, collect their pay and act like you are a total burden if you need help. I can assure you it is not encouragin ...

tack into their signature blocks but never mean a word of it? What happened to the old team leads who actually cared about their teams and had them working as a team, not pitting one against another? How long has it been since you have actually had a call from your team lead or manager just asking how you are doing? These witches are just in it for the money but they do not care about the accounts nor those of us they consider low lifes that get the work done for th ...

Did you post here to stir up trouble? Are you bored? You certainly knew this criticism would stir up nasty posts. Seems to me you are displaying the very attitude that MTs complain about with QA. Quite a power trip you are on there. This also caused very low morale and worth ethics. MTs would rather send an error to the client than a blank to QA. How sad. Yes, there are slacker MTs. We all know that, just as there are people in QA positions w ...

manipulate MTs' work queues any way that suits them, just because they can? They know just which jobs are crap & which are at least doable or that 1 in 10 pretty good dictator, and no sooner does an MT download a job that's at least understandable/doable, these low-lives snatch up that job for themselves or 1 of their friends as soon as the MT gets it in his/her queue? Too many of these fair-haired leads are coddled by management and virtually have a free hand in manipulating work flow ...

I've been noticing available jobs that have various but similar titles, but basically the function is as described in the link.

In looking at what they offer, though, nothing seems like i ...

if there is NO WORK on the system?! How can an MT sign on and work with no jobs available?! Dear leads, quit tattling to your boss that MTs are no-shows if there is no work on the system.

Don't you just love how they try to motivate us to do a good job by emphasizing teamwork and how "important" each of us are as part of a team? Yet the pay is so low you can barely feed yourself or pay the rent? As a result, the team of employees are leaving in droves, at least as soon as they are able to. Certainly not motivated much by mere words not backed up by pay that shows real appreciation. ...
