OTI: How would you like to respond to the recent work flow email and comment?! - about the T account

Posted: Nov 29, 2013

Does A not realize most of us were celebrating Thanksgiving with our family and giving no thought to OTI?!!!!!!!

whine if you do and - whine if you do not

heck two days ago many were on here complaining about the lack of work for weeks, if not longer. now someone is complaining because the work load is backed up and they were asked to work on a holiday to keep it in TAT. gees. make up your minds already.

People want work DURING their schedule - anon

Many of us have very busy lives with family and friends outside of work. Why anyone would think MTs should be happy to drop everything and cancel plans with their loved ones is silly. Of course people would complain, especially if they sat around all week waiting for work on their planned schedule.

I would not call less than 200 jobs â��backed upâ�� by any means. â��Whine if you do and whine if you do notâ�� sounds like an OTI comment. We all fill out calendars with daily line commitments, so why are you constantly caught with your panties in a bunch? Your lack of planning does not generate an emergency on the part of an IC, nor should the IC be expected to change plans to compensate for your lack of adequate management skills.

OTI appears to have the mindset that their ICs are content scrounging for the few drips of work that have been available on the T account for months now and that through the finely honed techniques of berating and disparaging their ICs we can be â��encouragedâ�� to keep TAT during times when the accountâ��s in-house MTs are most likely on holiday. Suddenly we are valuable again. Where was our value to you when we had no work and you offered us no communication regarding the lack of work we were all enduring? The OTI ICs on this account seem to be only good enough to keep the TAT on leftover work or dictators of abysmal quality.

Not to mention, A certainly lacks class in her communication. She apparently has not comprehended the old idiom: â��You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar'.â�� Suggesting MTs are not able to work due to illness from overindulgence of turkey is just gauche; reminds me of a subpar parent trying to get a point across. Even a child knows the words please and thank you go a long way.

Very well said, buns. - Babs

It's very discouraging to be available when we are supposed to be and have no work. Then once in a very great while when the account gets a little backed up and it's a holiday, we are scolded. There were a lot of e-mails yesterday regarding that T account, but when I send an e-mail asking why my other accounts were taken away or what is going on with that account, there's dead silence!

suggesting that when one - points out a fact

they automatically are in "management" at OTI is just plain ludicrous. I do not work for OTI, never have and never will. If you have a problem with the company, take it up with them, and not with an innocent bystander who simply commented that some people are not satisfied with anything that comes their ways, and whine whether they have work or they do not! One cannot have it both ways.

To the "innocent bystander." - Baby

If you don't work for OTI, you don't know the situation and you would know that this subject has been "taken up with them" but they choose to not give us answers. Not sure why someone who supposedly doesn't work for the company would have such strong feelings or even care to be involved in this discussion.

Well, don't forget in the mail barrage, one of MTs said, if you are not sm - getting your lines, you are not trying hard enough

[ In Reply To ..]
Bad enough to get the occasional digs and nastygrams from A, but to get that from supposedly a fellow MT was disheartening.

Your post is spot on -- thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Not only that, I think that person said she - sm

"is the best MT that OTI has!" Who the h*** does she think she is and what right does she have to assume that!!

Correct me if I'm wrong.... - Bug

Weren't we told in an e-mail yesterday from AK that if we had a problem to "take it up on the board?" Guess they don't want e-mails from us asking direct questions? I thought that was really strange.

To OTI: Here's a thought.... - Turkey

[ In Reply To ..]
How about sending us an e-mail stating why we have no work? What is wrong with answering our questions? How about addressing the problem instead of having us speculating on this board?

I think they meant the OTI board, not here. nm - They will not answer there either

I agreed to do a STAT job that was only to be 90 min of dictation within a 24-hour period of time. When I first responded to do this job, I was told they found someone else to do it. I then recieved a phone stating that the original transcriptionist bailed on her and could I do it. However, not only did she want the 90 min dictation she wanted a 31 min multi-speaker consultation as well, STAT. The audio was sent in a format that was not compatible with a foot pedal.

I have 2 questions that I wold really love some feedback on. It's not important how long I have been transcribing, the fact is that I have worked for some major MTSOs over the years and the llongest I have ever been on 100% QA is 3-4 weeks, more likely 1-2 weeks. Now that I am starting my second month with Nuance I have been placed on 3 separate aaccounts. The first 2 I was fine with, but then they sent me an emial stating that I would be switched over to a new go-live acc ...

Yes, I know we get lots of these questions every day but here's one I don't think has been touched on lately. I was recently approached by an old employer about giving my information to another MD for transcription work. I told her that she can definitely give out my info if she new someone that needed transcription work done. I didn't really think it would go anywhere, as that's the way it happens in this town, nothing ever comes to fruition. However, today I g ...

From reading post after post on the New MTs Board, it seems like one of the main reasons a lot of people chose the Medical Transcription field is because they were lured in by the “work at home, when you want” dream. But when reading through the job opening ads, any type of flexibility is usually reserved for Independent Contractor positions, and IC positions usually want lots of experience so the MT can work with little or no supervision. On top of that, at least in my opinio ...

I just got an email about these positions. Sounds good to me. I only want part-time work, so this would be right up my alley. The pay is kind of low in the beginning, but they do raise you to 8 c/l after probation. not too shabby huh??? What opinions are there here regarding this company? Good, bad or otherwise??? I saw their web site here and it sounds okay, but then you never know. Anyone currently working for this company now???? ...

But is it normal that they take forever to respond? Or is it normal if they don't want you, that they just ignore you? I just would prefer closure.

checking the QA box, it does not go through QA, right? I know we are not supposed to put in disparaging remarks, but would "speak up" or "stop mumbling" be considered a disparaging remark?

Okay, so in my experience in trying to be compliant on making up time and "switching" swapping time when I had a funeral to attend. No problem picking up the times, but here is what happens. When I have had NJA or something happened which required a 30 min here or there I wanted to pick up and make up the hours. Well, in theory it would seem to be good; but in reality it ADDED hours to my schedule and kept my original 24 hours per week. This "swap" ...

I don't see anyone talking about the test itself or working coders or coding students bringing it up, so I will. I went to school for coding, got certified and could not find a job. That aside, the A and P portion of my schooling was extremely intense. I have been an MT for 15 years and I had no idea how lacking my knowledge of A/P really was. I figured just because I was an MT, it would be easy. Boy was I wrong. I would encourage you not to take this test lightly. BTW, I am part-tim ...
