Is it some new management technique not to say thank you to - employees anymore? sm


Posted: Sep 22, 2010

I'm a high producer and self starter. I don't need hand-holding.  But, geesh, it's just human nature to want to hear a sincere, individual compliment for a job well done sometimes, if for no other reason than it motivates me to do a better job and make the company more money.  At some point, it seems most management has started to treat the worker bees as enemies instead of part of the team.  It's short-sighted and lazy, and I know it has to be costing the company a lot in employee loyalty and increased production.

Also a self-starter, high-producer MT and my manager says thank you several times as day, also things like, "I really appreciate your help," "You make my job easier," "you're doing a great job."

I make sure to let her know she rocks as well because middle management generally sucks.

I haven't even heard from my supervisor in weeks. - The last time I did, it was

through an email to the entire team.

In it, she went on and on about how some people weren't working their shifts as expected and that she was going to start taking action against them.

Then she stated: "To those of you who do work your expected schedules every day, good for you." I was stunned, as I am a high producer and work my schedule religiously. I couldn't believe her attitude towards those of us doing a good job.

Nice, eh?

same as original poster, nothing positive. NM - longtimeMT

You must work for the same company I do. I am a high-level producer, yet I never hear from them except when they want to complain about something stupid. They just sit back and keep collecting their money. At $.04 cents per line (editing) the pay is not all that good, especially in view of the fact that we are required to research countless pages of instructions/websites, etc.

Questions On Your Technique
Jun 12, 2011

I am wondering what method you all use for transcribing.  Do you listen and type word for word, or do you listen to the complete thought before typing it?  Has anyone who was formally trained been taught a certain way?  Has anyone switched from technique to another and seen a difference one way or another?  I am continually trying to find ways to improve speed without a lot of success.  I am very frustrated and having difficulty paying my bills. Also, in case it co ...

Not Management

I am not management!  You just don't get it.  I hate to say it, but many of you are too miserable here to see the good... for whatever reasons.   I am an MT.  I'm tempted to put my real name and MQ e-mail, but what for.  I've said what I did because I am doing okay, because I have been through frightening changes before with MQ and it has always worked out.  It seems foolish to tell you my real name though, as you mostly are a bunch of whining loser ...

Dear Management,  I have enjoyed working for you for the past several years ... best place I have worked in during my 20+ years as an MT.  HOWEVER, why do you find it ethical to find ways to sneak in the back door and take money out of my pocket, thinking I will not notice.   Yes, I understand, you need your own line counting system because the one I type in for the client gives me partial credit for headers and footers, and of course I shouldn't get credit for those after ...


Incompetent Management
Jul 05, 2011

After years of going through this, finally I have no other conclusion to draw but that it's pervasive.  I am talking about incompetent management. They talk about "the team" this, "the team" that.  But they have NO concept of what teamwork is, so that is just lip service. If I make a very simple request for something that will make the work flow more efficient and help everyone, I am either blown off completely or told "we will TRY to do that, but we're ...
