Why the sudden push and slew of emails to - remind us that we need


Posted: Apr 04, 2015

to always be signed into Spark messenger?  TSM never cared before.  Hmmm. I think I know....so that they can contact us to tell us to switch to a new account whenever they want, even several times per day.  This is going to be fun.  Am I actually going to be longing for my 11 dollars per hour when this happens and I go to minimum wage having to send more to QC and scan thru pages of account specs?  Can't wait.  

not sudden, from where I sit - Mrs.Buns

periodically we always get a reminder/threat that it's mandatory we be signed into Spark. Half the time I forget, just because no one ever contacts me on Spark about anything, ever. I'm not too worried.

Feb 04, 2010

Been on this account for three months and still cannot get my production where I need it to be in order to not work day and night to make minimum line counts, or most weeks not hit them at all.  Found out I am not the only one that has complained; I talked with mgt two weeks ago and still had not heard anything.  I contacted THEM today; I was told to be patient, they think they have found another place for me but need to fill my position first.  The problem is, I have a ...

What Is All This Talk About Using F11 All Of A Sudden?
Sep 19, 2012

I used it ONCE and got an e mail from my CCM to PROVE in Remedy and cc her where it needed to be straight typed.  I was told even if I could, to NEVER EVER use it again.  She meant it. So why do I see several threads and suggestions here about people using F11 a lot or suggesting we use it all the time?  I used it ONCE and got called down.  The ONLY reason I was excused was I put in Remedy the job number and a good reason.  However, I was WARNED STRONGLY to NE ...


Help Please. ASR Headings Are Different All Of The Sudden..-sm
Jul 15, 2013

Not sure if I did something or not, but all of the sudden my ASR headings are not like they have been.  The blue lines are gone and the next heading is directly below the text of the previous.  I  think this was how it was when a new version came out, but I was able to "fix" it to the old way. Is any of this making sense?  Also my Google, RxList and the rest of those sites you can access on the DQS page are off center. ...

Why would one by one doctors who I have listened to for years suddenly have changes in the quality of their voice files?  They were clear as a bell and now muffled or with static.  What could be causing this?  I'm afraid the company I am working for is planning on sending files overseas but I can't figure out why the sound quality would change.  Does anyone have any ideas? ...

that we cannot send reports with more than 3 blanks through on TWO of the accounts I work on.  Right now, I have one of the worst dictators on one of those accounts.  She is ESL and she whispers.  To top it off, someone is standing very close to her running a VACUUM CLEANER. I CAN'T HEAR her because she is whispering and the vacuum is running.  So, yay me.  I will probably have more than 3 blanks because of all this and will have to send it to QA even though they ...

all the red tape, the power over our lives, no flexibility anymore, no mercy in case of emergencies or appointments, lists and lists of rules.... I work every single other holiday there is all year long, hoping to take off Tgiving and Xmas.  I work NY Eve, NY, Easter, 4th of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, etc.  But even though there's never any work on those 2 major holidays, apparently now we MUST work one of them, i.e., ruin all family plans just to get NJA all day anyway.  ...


When I Get Those Emails Saying

I feel like saying: Hey, no thanks, I already have 4 accounts, 2 of which I have no interest in. Here's an idea, how about you get all those people on my accounts, which I have been doing for years, off of them, so that I can have my work back? How about you get them off my accounts and give THEM the new accounts? I have enough trouble making decent line counts at all because: (a) no work because overstaffed on my primary. (b) secondary and tertiary accounts unfamiliar and pages of new ...

My ccm sends out emails about her personal life to share.  I do not know how far we can go on here but its about her expected bundle of joy in the not too far off future.

Emails Monitoring How Much We Do
May 07, 2012

Well, I will not be reading these emails calculating how much time we are working and "goofing off."  They will only make me less motivated and quite frankly angry.  I am not a robot, there are times after a long difficult report that I have to step away from the computer to give my brain a few minute break.  As long as I do the required long count and then some, I will not concern myself with this emails. ...
