Oh joy! WMX conference call this p.m. - Whatnow

Posted: Apr 18, 2011

Hmm! No notice here yet. No what-now for me? - Doing okay at my end but still curious.

conference call - anon

Uh Oh! Our team's conference call last week was to say we lost a huge account, and oh, by the way, everyone has to totally stick to their schedules, and everyone must work weekends. Well, I was already on weekends so no big deal there. But still! Hoping it is not bad news for you but just an update!

I'm glad we all have to stick to our schedules - see message

That way, people who are not working their schedules are not taking work from my shift.

Oh yeah, I'm so grateful that my Mon-Fri day shift schedule has - BEEN CHANGED

[ In Reply To ..]
even tho I've worked 10plus years for that schedule, always got in my 40 hours and lines, and almost always had enough work.... Obviously you are a Nashville suit, right? Everything is coming up roses.

That's not what I said. I SAID that I'm glad that everyone has to work their schedules. - see message again

[ In Reply To ..]
If I work my 8 hours, and someone else decides not to work their shift and they decide to make up their time during my shift - that's not right.

We have schedules for a reason.

NO, I'm not a suit.

I said nothing about my shift being changed so I don't see why you are attacking me.

agree with working scheduled shift, especially when work is low - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
Right now with OT it doesn't matter so much, but with low work if people don't stick to schedules it means more NSA, and I am not a suit either!!

Well they've lied to me enough times about M-F - said NOBODY had it

[ In Reply To ..]
Maybe they got tired of lying about it because we all know darn well a select few have M-F shifts and the rest of us get to have crappy weekends forever! I asked my AM how long a person has to work at Wmx and how many team positions must turnover before a M-F gig comes open? Got told "nobody" gets to work M-F and "everybody" has to do a weekend day. Yes, its ridiculous because there's rarely enough work on a weekend to justify this. But perhaps this is an attempt to make things "fair" for all of us - requests to rotate weekends fall on deaf ears - it is easier for Mgt to take away this plum from the spoiled few that have it (except THEMSELVES of course). Sorry for your bad luck but I doubt you were ever sorry for the rest of us that never got to have a normal weekend like the rest of the world - so welcome to the real Webmedx - the one people like YOU used to defend because YOU had it good. Maybe the rest of us weren't just a bunch of whiners and complainers - maybe we were telling truths that YOU were immune to and finally have to take part in.

M-F - selectfew

I work Monday through Friday, started out Sunday through Thursday. I was CHANGED to this schedule by new AM because my account is constantly out of TAT Fridays. No work on the weekend.

Nobody, it sounds like your AM did lie to put your - question away for the long time

[ In Reply To ..]
it'd take before you might see M-F, and that was a very bad, stupid, and ultimately insulting way to deal with it. I also work one weekend day but always knew there had to be people who work only weekdays. Truth to tell, though, I've been working for decades now and never had even a fraction of your resentment and unhappiness working for any company. My freedom to walk is cherished, and I've even done that when it suited me. Didn't need any excuse, either. It's my right. And yours. Just another MT here, too, BTW.

Why yes, just walk away, what a lovely solution! - M-F is so easy to find, NOT

[ In Reply To ..]
How wonderful that you can feel this superior to someone after reading ONE of their posts! I've been working for decades now and never even had a fraction of your complacency or smugness. My freedom is cherished also, and I don't need an excuse to condescend to my fellow MTs, either, because it doesn't bring me pleasure. It brings such VALUE to this board to have such well-thought out solutions such as yours presented to us in this way, and surely something THIS original would NEVER occur to anyone without help from YOU. PS - I am quite sure that when anybody who posts here has to ANNOUNCE they are an MT, they most certainly aren't.

working weekends - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
I think some who were working M-Fr were with companies bought out by Web who were promised their same shifts. Also, some had rotating weekends, I really wish management would consider this! I would be even glad to work 10 hours on both Sat/Sun if I could get the next weekend off! Maybe a bunch of us could suggest this!

Another huge account - lost?

[ In Reply To ..]
They just lost a large one last year. Good luck with that one, sincerely. You're going to have a tough summer with low work guaranteed like the last time they lost a large account and had to lay off MTs. I was one who never had enough work and had to quit and find work elsewhere. Yes, you'll be cross trained, but there won't be enough to go around.

Just an update. I like this new AM. - Whatnow

[ In Reply To ..]
An ongoing issue was discussed instead of having us all continue to wonder what was going on. I really appreciate that. And call was short and sweet!

Great, Whatnow. We'd all appreciate more of that. - courtesy. Hopefully,

[ In Reply To ..]
it's a sign they're trying to be more communicative. It's understandable they can't have various employee interpretations of company details aired on the web 5 minutes after we get them, but only finding out about significant changes after they hit does us a tremendous disservice and makes it very difficult to see ourselves as part of a team.

Well - at least the AM is courteous. - Whatnow

[ In Reply To ..]
I'll leave it at that.

Gee, I never worried or wondered when I had a good communicative STM - before. U are FULL OF IT.

[ In Reply To ..]
Two posts in a row, eh? NASHVILLE SUIT.

Our former STM liked to - Whatnow

[ In Reply To ..]
send us updates on her personal life and rarely knew the answer to a ? about the account, so, yes, I'm finding new AM to be refreshing (he probably won't last too long!) and the accusation about being a suit rather old.

no kidding about being a suit - webbertoo

[ In Reply To ..]
I too am sick of hearing everybody accuse anybody who has an opinion different that theirs or who defend the company, that they are a "suit".....good grief people, move along and let those of us who want to work instead of argue do just that.

I also had that STM who sent out personal info and didnt know answers and feel horrible for the new guy...I don't think he knew what he was getting into...and yes it really does suck that we work weekends, and yes it really does suck that they will probably hire more people and we will run out of work just like we do every single year, BUT FOR ME I am sticking it out until the end and am sick and tired of people who like to put ridiculous thoughts in other peoples head about things they know nothing about.

Thank you! Good to know it wasn't just me. - That chick had no clue.

[ In Reply To ..]
And she didn't seem to want to get one either for crying out loud. Did you have a conference call yesterday?

no conference call for me - webbertoo

[ In Reply To ..]
maybe we don't have the same guy now!!!

He's new I think to company - and

has a boat load of radiology accts.

So, we're scheduled for an upcoming conference call and have to be clocked off but will get paid forour time. So . . . do we get paid that ridiculously low PTO time that obviously is getting lowered for practically all of us every 6 months? Does anyone find it strange that 99% of us have had our PTO pay cut soooo much over the years? Might be a good time to bring it up, during the conference calls, so that we can all chime in about it at the same time. ...

So if you disagree with a QA score done within the last week of the quarter, you are out of luck. So even if they are wrong you lose your QA bonus for 3 months.

What exactly does this mean? Are we at risk of losing our work and to who? They continuously ask us for more and more. The COM said she had sleepless nights about the account but also said she doesn't type because she chooses not to. That really struck a nerve with me and several of my MLS team members. What kind of team work is that when you're manager is not even willing to pitch in when things are dire? ...

"They" were actually referring to a different incident, a few days before this one, where I had signed off after being bounced around for 1-1/2 hours and could not make heads nor tails of the ESL dictators. I had sent in an explanatory note that time too. Anyway --- there was a viable two-way conversation. They didn't make a big deal out of the form -- told me to just sign it and forget about it --and it eventually will fade into remote history. For me, it's fine be ...

Maybe if MModal hired fewer employees from Microsoft they could afford to pay transcriptionist better and allow for cost of living raises. I have been a transcriptionist for going on 30 years and this company is one of the reasons we can't make a living wage. I am so tired of hearing the term "industry standard" because in the past when I worked with other companies and directly in-house I was paid more. Just because it is the "industry standard" does not make it right. &n ...

I see why they do their presentation this way as opposed to a live conference call where people could chime in and demand to know what in the hell is going on. While listening, I kept thinking I was watching an SNL skit, it was so dry, controlled and phony. Nothing was accomplished. I actually thought- hoped - we'd get encouraging words of a steady work flow and better pay. We could use Michael Moore on our side. ...

#1. People loved mentoring, so there's more coming. This might be true for some (most?) but during mine, my stats dropped 20%. The coach told me almost every single person hated it and that they were mean to her. She also didn't know that reports sent to QA cost us at all. #2. On this chart you can see that 20% of you want jobs to stay in the U.S. Here's an Indian guy to read slides and kudos from the hospitals! #3. I guess people are making 3% more, so that's one year of ...

So as they were all taking names and everyone talking over each other, whose QA do you suppose will be extra stringent this week? Hmmmm????? This was SUCH a load of crap! I'm very glad folks spoke up, though. They had to know it wouldn't be easy, but really, what was even the POINT of it? And shift differential being taken away, but still available on the weekends? If the REASON was Time Stamp issues on the system, you couldn't do it for the weekends, either. I do ...

I've only been with MM for 8 months so it's not going to rattle my world all that much. KK was nice and I will miss her, so only time will tell if KM is as nice as KK says she ...
