Any word yet on lockdown for North? - MIA CCM
Posted: Jun 08, 2010
Just got a new CCM on Friday and she must be on vacation or something. I know they keep pushing the date back due to "glitches". Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
my CCM - is the same

and continues to say that it is on hold indefinitely or until further notice.
I hope it never happens here in the north. We already have enough problems with NJA and making up time.
looking forward to that at all. If they could ensure there would be enough work during your ENTIRE shift I would have NO problem with it. But what are we supposed to do when we get NJA. Right now, my CCM just says to keep checking back throughout the day, which I do, and then I can almost always get my hours in that way.
Can anyone already on lockdown, FT, getting NJA shed some light on how they make up the time and if it is even possible? ...
Ours from the West has (thankfully) gone back to being another MME like the rest of us poor mortals. I found her e-mails to be bossy, snippy, condescending and picky to the point of absurdity. The frosting on the cake was the recent e-mail that said MT's are to be held at fault if the doctor makes a mistake on a lab value, med dosage, etc. Some people get a little taste of power and become unbearable. I, for one, bid her a joyful farewell because ...
If your bob never has work, ask to move to the north. We even got an e mail from the head of work routing, stating they need everyone to work. That never happens. If you need work and are constantly out, ask to move. ...
Does anyone know if we have 15 minutes past our start time to sign in once lockdown starts? I was told we had up to 15 minutes before our shift to sign in but nothing about afterwards. Thank you!! ...
Okay, I finally applied but haven't been hired yet. Can someone please explain what the heck is a "lockdown?" I've seen the term on this board and I've never heard it before. Surely it isn't what I think it is.... locked out of the system and denied work for some reason? Thanks in advance. Now I'm thinking maybe I should not answer if they call. ...
My group is not in lockdown yet. I have been dreading it. It seems like chaos and this was making me want to quit. Although, these last 2 weeks, I have been on the other side where people have been jumping on and taking my work.
Just found out that some MT's are supposed to work 12-24 hours a week and instead, they have been putting in anywhere from 28-48 hours in ONE week. I work in the evenings and kept running out of work at 11PM!!! What? Just m ...
Just got email from CCM stating that soon we will be utilizing swap board. Does anyone have any tips on this? Has anyone been using this? Is it hard to get make-up time this way? ...
Lockdown for us started last week and sometimes I can punch in earlier than 15 minutes and jobs keep downloading after my shift and other days I get the error message to contact my CCM. Also last week there were 200+ shifts posted on the swap board to pick up and this week around 25 a day. We also go from NJA to many late jobs in the matter of a day with no consistency. Lastly, when I logged off my shift tonight the backlog for my account was very high with late jobs but n ...
Received an email that soon Fluency and Teamwork will be linked and we will be using schedule reservation. If that is what I think it is, what is wrong with this company? That didn't work the first time, what makes them think it will work now? How can you lock employees out when there is no work on their shifts anyway? ...
We just got an email letting us know how terrible our TAT has been for the past week. Um, we are on lockdown! And even if I wanted to help out (which I don't) there are no shifts available on the swap board to help out. So whose fault is it do you think? Certainly not the MTs, but we are getting blamed and now asked to work OT with no shifts available to pick up. This lockdown was supposed to be the answer to MQ prayers- watch me while I do an "I tol ...
I have noticed something weird going on with the work flow. Haven't run out of work in quite a while and have stayed in BOB but yesterday and today have been everywhere and now out of work. Wonder what is going on. Anybody else? ...
Has anyone noticed how the North TSM is never responding to emails, PTO, important questions, etc. I'm about ready to contact this Joel, the guy above her. You ask for PTO or time off period, and she lets you know 36 hours before the fact if you're lucky. Her initials are JL. I so do not want to go above her, but this is so getting out of control. ...
I need the money. :-( I actually switched 2 days later in the week for Monday and Tuesday because I am actually taking a short vacation, first in a couple years. I am PT, so no PTO for me. Total bummer.
This after a keep working OT email. ...
I think I've been up too long as I was reading the directions for text expansions and dictionaries for this "new" north region being created.
Directions indicates loggin into DocQscribe use new company code and then proceed with copy the above.
I don't ever put the company code in when I log into DocQscribe. I only enter it sometimes when logging into DocQmanage.
Has anybody already logged in with the new company code and downloaded the tex ...
Seems to me that the "new and improved" North area was a ploy to dump us all back in the cesspool. In 8 hours, I had only one job from my primary (which is not off-shored). I just LOVE reading one CP after another! ...
Was the company # changed for looking up the backlog when the north area combined? I haven't been able to access it since. If so, does anybody have the new # to input? CCM still hasn't gotten back to me yet and I want to check the backlog. ...
Can anybody tell me how the backlog looks now? I got locked out and need reset, however, CCM is on vacation and haven't been able to get in contact with the fill-in CCM to fix it. Thanks ...
"If you have no work, change your shift" ain't gettin it. I have worked all of them and still sitting here for hours with NJA with crazy rambling ESL's from the cesspool sandwiched in between.
Happy Monday!
...
Besides getting NJA or jobs coming in 1 at a time, now I'm getting very few jobs from my primary. It's a big account, seldom ran out of work before, and a "do not off-shore" account.
What's going on??
