Anyone else notice their productivity graph - is lower than usual. SM
Posted: Nov 23, 2013
When the graph first was introduced I was able to keep it pretty high. However, for the past week or so, working just as hard, of not harder, I'm about 50 to 100 less than I used to be. If this is happening to others, do you think that they showed us what we can do at first and now with the last maintenance have artificially made it look lower so that they can psychologically trick us to work harder? My conspiracy theory for the day.
I'm a paranoid person by nature - and I have noticed
[ In Reply To ..]That my lph is also lower. I have noticed other things as well, but being that I'm paranoid, I'm not mentioning them unlsss someone else does.
My LPH is lower but they changed my - accounts
[ In Reply To ..]new boss, new game plan..I'm sick of this crap I really am.
Don't know if you've been reading my posts - old and burned out
[ In Reply To ..]but the same thing happened to me. Then, after working on the new accts for less than 30 hours, did an audit which I failed (98.1%) and put me on 100% QA. You've probably all done the math but if you are making 4 cpl for VR, are put on 100% QA and do 200 lines per hour, you are now making $2/hour at 1 cpl. I was able to quit but if MTs have no other source of income and put up with this, the company is getting high quality work for pennies, even if only for a few weeks per MT. It would be a windfall for them.
I have never had an audit result sent to me - sm
[ In Reply To ..]All I know is my last boss left and since then, I am basically on the same hospitals, but the work types I am getting are changed. I would love to retest, take a drop in money and come off Tier 3, I really would. One week I get that stupid spot award and the next I'm scrounging to make my lines. Its like as a reward they put me on all the dictators that can't speak English or a full sentence to save their lives. Just went through my QA reports for the week, and I'm ready to quit. Keep telling myself 2 years, just 2 years you can do this. Starting the day frustrated just rots
Don't you love the consistency in their policies? - old and burned out
[ In Reply To ..]I have always had audit results sent to me and have been passing them, except for 1 or 2 for the past 5 years while working on very difficult accounts then boom - change my accounts, have to learn more horrible dictators all over again, fail me on an audit after working on the account for about 24 hours and then expect me to work for less than minimum wage until the next audit which I may or may not pass. I also think they can direct the worst work to any MT they think "deserves" it.
Yep, I never got audited or QA'd and was with MM - close to 3 years before I left.

Can Someone Explain The Productivity Graph To Me
May 07, 2013
The blue is gross, the red is net, but what does that mean? Are the lines supposed to touch, is one supposed to be over the other, what if they are super far apart, or right on top of eachother? How can I go from under 200 lph one day to over 350 lph the next? Are we supposed to run on an even plane or is up and down and all over the way to go? I am so confused. ...

If You Put It On A Graph, MT Jobs Go Up And Down But
May 17, 2015
Over the past years, MT has had its ups and downs. The problem is, the downs go down more than the ups go up. Occasionally an MT will see an increase in pay, but then the TAT, quotas, accounts she is given, etc., take that pay increase away plus. I understand that MT is still a good career if someone doesn't care about making very much money, but the graph is definitely trending DOWN. ...

Productivity???
Jun 14, 2012
I just don't get it. When they started doing these productivity checks, I was at aan "inactive time" of a whopping 40% . . . or so they said. I have steadily improved it every week and have dropped it down to 18, then 15, then 9, 9 and again 9. However, my pay hasn't changed. Doesn't that seem extremely odd? Are we being cheated? ...
Is Is Just Me, Or Is This New PRODUCTIVITY

CALCULATOR just of a stupid waste of time. I use a notebook, pencil, and calculator to track all the info I need to make sure I make my line count. I wonder how much time was spent and how much $$$ was paid to come up with this waste of time. We actually do real work, but a lot of employees at MModal seem to have difficulty justifying their (probably much larger than our) paychecks ...

Productivity Question
Apr 07, 2010
Does anyone out there have their productivity bonus taken away if you make too many errors? For example, where I work if an incorrect date is put on a report or if a report is typed on the incorrect encounter we lose QA points. That then is added to the random QA done every month and if you go below a certain percentage you do not get your productivity bonus. Just wondering if this is standard? ...
Increasing Productivity
May 22, 2010
Anyone know any good advice on increasing productivty using Medrite or just in general? I have been working for almost a year since graduating and i'm getting better slowly but surely, but i'd like to see more progress, as my pay rate is on the low side and I figured if I can be faster than I can kind of give myself a raise. Any help would really be appreciated. ...
And Another Thing About That DQS Productivity BS...
Nov 30, 2010
Gross Lines? Net Lines? What exactly does that mean. Should net lines be more? If I really average what they say I do, I should be making 27/hour??? I times the net lines by my rate = 27. Well, that is for SURE not the case. I only wish. And what difference does it make whether we use the mouse or not IF that is the most efficient way? Will their ridiculousness never cease to amaze me? ...
Productivity Report And Job Log

Been told in the past not to bother with keeping a job log. Got my first productivity report today and boy and I glad I didn't listen to them and continued keeping my log and screen prints. They only show base numbers. No accounting for: Having to use mouse because keyboard shortcuts are hard on carpal tunnel suffers. No time allowed for their FTR without QA research in past reports. Inconsistencies on slider bar. (they're never wrong.....WRONG) No time allo ...
Why Is It After Getting My Productivity Results
Jan 24, 2011
like such a failure? Average lines per hour 250+ ASR (which I thought was pretty darned good for our ASR), and average inactive time 1.0 per report. In the space of the past week, I find my daughter telling me I do not do a proper job in taking care of her son, my husband tells me that his house has never been messier and that I dont care for myself anymore, after scrubbing the carpets my cat puked all over the place as if to prove "I missed a spot" and then the productivity re ...
Do The Productivity Numbers Really Add Up?
Apr 13, 2011
My actual ASR lph and what they say I could do if there wasn't any "inactive" time is usually almost double. I have no idea how I can humanly close that gap. And yes, I am not using the dreaded mouse. I put my nose to the grind stone with absolutely no inactivity due to doing anything other than edit, and yet, I still come up with the lph they report I am doing rather than what they think I should be able to do without any inactivity. Interesting that this time they had a mouse click re ...
DEP MT's And ASR Productivity Statistics
Nov 11, 2011
Does anyone get emails weekly or every other week with their statistics for DEP and ASR? I've been getting these and it includes suggestions to get more productivity such as, using left/right arrows, ctrl+shift+left, etc. It also give me total gross AST activity length, length of time an ASR job is open, length of time spent making changes to an ASR, total inactivity length. I don't know what to think about this, except that they want more work out of me. ...

Productivity Time
May 10, 2012
Just curious . . . was anyone else shocked by an extremly high inactive time on their productivity report? I was given an inactive time of a whopping 42%!!!!!! How could that possibly be when I've never even been repriomanded for not producing enough? So if this inacive time is accurate, that would mean that out of 8 hours a day, I am somehow sitting here for over 3-1/2 hours not working, and yet somehow still meeting my line quota? Just wondere ...

Questions on understanding this productivity report. I believe the "Your gross SR lines per hour" is the MModal calculation of our production for that week. Is this correct?

Higher Productivity--same Pay

After AGAIN seeing more productivity and no increase in my pay, I sent my CCM an e-mail asking to explain it. Will keep you all posted! Maybe everyone should do the same, let them see how frustrated we all are. Betcha M*Modal is the only one reaping any benefits from our increased productivity. Bet the suits are getting major bonuses while we can barely keep our heads above water. ...

Speeding Up Productivity
Apr 06, 2014
I am looking for suggestions to speed up my productivity. I have been with a company going on 7 months. Besides the fact that I have had numerous problems with their Service Manger, which has slowed my production, but I also use Dragon Speech; not only does that help with accuracy, but production. None the less, for a FT contractor, we are suppose to be doing a minimum of 1100 lines in an 8-hour shift. I work at times 14+ hour days, 6 days a week and still fall short by roughly 200-300 lines a d ...

Productivity Tips
Jan 13, 2015
I'm wondering if anyone has any productivity tips for staying focused that they'd like to share. I've been doing this for so many years, but it seems like a daily struggle to sit still for six to eight hours a day and just type report after report, especially when the laundry and housecleaning always seems to be calling out to me. I've tried the 25 minutes on/5 minutes off without much success and am wondering what else works for people. Thanks for any sh ...

Productivity: Am I Too Conscientious?
Mar 01, 2015
I was an IC for 20 years before having to work for a service. I hated to have to leave a blank and in the beginning would spend a half hour searching references (pre-internet) not have to leave a blank. This became a habit I find hard to break. Although the MTSOs require you research previous reports to try to get a clue as to what mumble mouth is trying to say, is there really time for that when we have to meet production demands? With good dictators I do 200 to 300 LPH ...

I know they SAY they want to help us be more "productive" and increase ASR productivity, but I'm skeptical. Thoughts? ...
