All thumbs meeting pushed back another week - downtime

Posted: Sep 25, 2012

another week of reprieve before the ax falls?

why would the axe fall? - dont understand

[ In Reply To ..]
Isnt Amy supposed to do these meetings twice a year? Nothing is going to fall, except maybe some deaf ears because she wont answer anything negative. All questions are presented before the meeting and they have to be positive questions or they are not allowed.

she's going to talk about the compensation plan I think - downtime

[ In Reply To ..]
and I don't think it's going to be good news.

She is not going to talk about compensation plan, - this is an OPTIONAL meeting

[ In Reply To ..]
If it were mandatory, then I would worry.

it says we will discuss - see message

Total Rewards and Recognition update

that sounds like the incentive plan to me

Because with 7.1 we can make so much more money - broken promises

A theory was offered on the board below that they were waiting for all teams to be going on 7.1 before they made the big announcement. Makes good sense as apparently some teams are not working on it quite yet.

Wait for it. She will brag about all the improvements they have made (read as money spent) with BOOST and those weekly productivity emails as well as the options in 7.1 with report lookup blah blah. She will tell us how much more money we can make and how they have made our jobs so much easier. However, because of ______ (fill in the blank here with your favorite corporate verbiage) they are making the pay competitive. She will spin it to sound like we will make more money but it will still be a pay cut. Anyone who has been through the ASR pay cuts and the justification and reasoning (guilt) emails that were included knows exactly what I am talking about.

Just glad to know we have an extra week. Just found out today my accounts in the North have started sending to India so any extra time I can have to get some nibbles on my resume is appreciated.

could you tell me which one? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Email privately or post name of the account from the North going to India. I work in the North... I hate not hearing anything.

Starts with an M - broken promises

Multiple hospital system.

Nooooooooooooooooo - great

[ In Reply To ..]
Just Flippin Great.

Why was I on the 7.1 DocQscribe and - switched to Cornerstone??

[ In Reply To ..]
The account wanted Cornerstone and I was moved with the account to Cornerstone and have been using Cornerstone for the past few months. Does not make sense to me.

The account - had

[ In Reply To ..]
to be moved because the rest of the group of accounts was on Cornerstone and the ones there were on that account were requested by the account.

but not everyone is on DQS at all yet - see message

[ In Reply To ..]
some are still on Cornerstone.

really makes - no

[ In Reply To ..]
difference. DQS 7 is copied off Cornerstone and they are both lousy. Every update they do slows you down more. For those on Cornerstone, the allergy thing is ridiculous and all the useless rules before you can submit.

I dont see any axes falling either. - So man thrive on the negative.

[ In Reply To ..]
and yes, these meetings are suppose to be twice a year. Maybe she rescheduled because she has other committments or another meeting to attend who knows.

all right you're right - downtime

[ In Reply To ..]
Sorry. I don't mean to be negative. But I'm making more than 8/4 so I just have this feeling. About my own personal situation, maybe not yours.

The link to register is for a 12:30 a.m. India meeting. - Did anybody notice that?

[ In Reply To ..]
What happened to First Time Right?

IN the first email - downtime

[ In Reply To ..]
the link was for the midnight India meeting, but in this one it's right. Second Time Right.

The latest pay cut was my final straw. I'm starting my first classes in February for a new career in a field that has nothing to do with healthcare and working every single weekend and holiday for the rest of my life while watching my pay go down instead of up with the more experience I gain.

the accuracy level but instead of taking responsibility for that, turns it around on the MTSO as being wrong for penalizing them for not meeting the company's accuracy expectations. You know what they expect and you know what the penalty is if you cannot meet that expectation. How is that wrong on the MTSO's part? You cannot control the actions of the MTSO, you can only control your own actions and if you cannot meet accuracy, how is that a problem of the MTSO? ...

I work there and it's a great company! They also have 4 dislikes and I'm clueless as to why. Is it because it's for 2nd and 3rd shift jobs? This is a place that has straight typing only AND offers benefits AND always has steady work! Isn't that what everyone wants? So the hours suck, but work is work--especially good work like this. So, what's up?! ...

Given that the ability to find a new job is almost nil in the miserable job market, workers are feeling trapped. (For example, the quit rate has hovered at a very low rate since the recovery began.) That gives employers huge leverage in pushing their employees to take on heavier loads without higher pay." Sound famil ...

I appreciate knowing that I am not alone in this struggle. It is because of all of you, and only you MTs on this board that I manage to stay in this game.

Good grief. I did not change the way I edit. It so depends on how many commas they think you should have. Yes, I made an unusual (for me) mistake last week, but the rest of passing an audit is dumb luck of whether you get a realistic auditor or Ms English wannabe. Everybody must be under pressure because of the cesspool as I see a lot of mistakes when I look up past reports to help with these mush mouths and accents.

Hello, I would like to transcribe from home again. However, I HAVE to get up and walk for a few minutes at least once an hour. You see, I had to have 2 back surgeries in the last 18 months. I've been a transcriptionist for many years and this is my profession. Does anyone have a suggestion what to tell these companies that will hire you to work from home when you have to get up so much? The last company I tried had a "pop-up" box that appeared on my screen if you were up longer than 10 min ...
