Being set up to fail? - So it begins

Posted: Nov 17, 2011

First, I was warned about low line count during a period of many MQ computer problems (finally got new one and now resolved), then audited during that same time period after being warned about line count, which I passed at 99.89%. Then 2 weeks later I start getting a work type I had never done before, like every other job, completely new terms and docs, which normally I do not mind learning new things, but now with the more-than-5%-sent-to-QA nonsense I do not feel comfortable sending blanks to learn because I have to eat and pay bills, thus spending lots of time researching. Okay, then less than a month after the last audit they audit me again and, of course, this time it is done exclusively on the new work type and, of course, I fail. I was close at 98.98%, but still failed. So this week I am being audited again and already at 4 reports I can see I am going to be just under 99% again. So, on top of my line count being low now because of unfamiliar work type and all the researching I have to do, I am failing audits. I have been with MQ for over 10 years, Tier 3, and never had any issues, never failed an audit, and never been on "performance management," etc. I do not consider myself one of the higher paid MTs. Am I being paranoid, or does anyone else think this looks like I am being set up for termination?? This week, after umpteen years in this profession and a few years away from retirement, I am actively seeking non-MT jobs that I can do from home...get them before they get me scenario, and already have 2 possibles lined up. Anyway, thank for listening.
