Check your email new policy regarding responsiveness - Unbelievable

Posted: Mar 15, 2013

I need time to read over again because I find so many flaws with their logic I cannot believe HR put out a new policy with such a double standard. We are to be responsive or we can get fired but the supervisors can ignore phone calls and emails for weeks on end and that is okay? Not to mention our "new and improved" email system is anything but reliable.

wow that is unbelievable - I wonder

do you think the TSMs maybe got a similar email?

I wish both TSMs and QA leads would get that - so sick of no answers

[ In Reply To ..]
I call both with questions regarding account or policy, or anything even, and never get a call back. I guess, the email does not give a time frame as to when we have to respond, so maybe a month later is adequate?

I wonder if that means when she sends us an email to our personal home email on our days off! I agree too, they better have gotten the same email. My TSM never answers emails or phone calls.

The email says you are not required to be available - on your days off nm

What's so unusual - old and burned out

[ In Reply To ..]
They can tell us to take off "excused-no pay" as many days of the year as they like but if we take off one extra day without making it up, we can be fired.

what? - what are you talking about

I thought this thread was about emails? What do you mean we can take off "excused no pay" as many days of the year we would like, but take off one extra day without making it up and be fired. If you can take as many as you want, why would you have to make up. I just dont understand this at all. I thought only "excused no work" didnt have to be made up and I thought "excused no pay" are only allowed 5 for the year.

Stumped me.

Please reread - old and burned out

What I am talking about is the difference between what the company can do and what we can do. If the TCM does not respond to emails for weeks that is fine; if we do not, we can be fired. If the company has no work and tells us to take "excused-no pay" for a couple of hundred days a year, that is fine; if we want one extra day of "excused-no pay" and do not make it up, we can be fired.

ok, gotcha. sorry I misunderstood. - makes sense now.

So sorry.

Laugh out loud!!! Unbelievable is right - oldtimer

[ In Reply To ..]
I laughed out loud when I read that one. I think I'll e-mail that guy and see how long it takes him to respond!

Why is this unbelievable? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
pretty simple. they are the boss, you work for THEM..You play by their rules or you come on here and say damn I was fired out of the blue for nothing..there is always a reason..If your TSM doesnt answer your emails, this isnt their policy..This is the companies, so you use the resources they have put in place to go over their heads and document..pretty simple..

They want to make sure we answer the - phone

[ In Reply To ..]
when they terminate us!

With the recent postings on here - that was my thought as well

We will be put on LOCKDOWN - MModal Prison Camp

[ In Reply To ..]
That was the funniest (yet not) line in the whole memo. Leg irons, anyone?

System lockdown - too funny

[ In Reply To ..]
Shackles come up out of the floor, chains come directly out of the desk, all the doors and windows get padlocked, sirens going off, and your supervisors voice pulsating in your ears, "you are on system lockdown, go to Ipswitch, open mail immediately, I sent an email about Dr. Fastchops and you did not respond, it is very important, he says he codes his reports as a consult, but really if it is the 5th of the month, its a letter, so you must change it to letter, but if its not the 5th of the month, it is probably a H&P, but you should know by the headings, otherwise it is still a consult. You will remain on lockdown until you open the mail and respond that you accept and acknowledge this email. Open your mail. Answer me. Lockdown. Mail. Respond. Lockdown. Mail...."

Do we get orange jumpsuits too? - Unbelievable

[ In Reply To ..]
Your post was hilarious! Reminded me of when they tried to lock us out of the system a few years ago except during our schedule. That lasted what, all of 2 weeks? I wondered then where our orange jumpsuits were, maybe they were saving them for this special occasion. Hopefully if we are good little employees and work our schedules we will get extra rec time in the yard or a second helping at dinner or maybe even work during our entire shift. Mmodal Prison Camp. Still laughing.

Dont forget the flip flops - however,

[ In Reply To ..]
I think MModal Prison Camp would be a vacation for me. Three squares provided (wouldnt have to work my rear off for no food like currently), free hair cuts, free legal, free room and board, and all for the low price of my sanity. Yea, its probably worth it. Hopefully, with my bad attitude, I will get solitary confinement and wont have to worry about sharing a cell!

I thought maybe they were referring to client satisfaction or employee satisfaction. They are referring to revenue size! So we are supposed to be impressed that Medquist or Mmodal or whoever we are today moved up 4 spots (by gobbling up smaller companies) while we haven't had a raise in years? With all that revenue they can't improve sound quality or pay the employees better? And do we really care the Nuance moved down a spot? No. Sometimes I j ...

So I betcha have to be an RMT or CMT to win! There will be 10 MT/MEE's. I am happy that MQ included Spheris employees and their group. That made me very happy, although I have been an MT with MQ for 20 years, I am just glad that Spheris will have their group included. It is just well. . . ethical for MQ to do the right thing by including them. I wonder if India is doing the same thing. ...

I know this isn't what they intend, but I'm wondering if we need to stick to our schedules anymore. If we can "make it up" in the same day, is it necessary to wait til our scheduled start time if we usually run out? I mean, why wait til our scheduled second shift hours if we're afraid of running out? Can't we get on earlier ("same day") and get whatever is available then? I'm not saying this is fair to those who are scheduled earlier, but there� ...

So help me understand this "new" policy. Are we taking a cut in what we accrue for PTO? I have over 15 years with this company and find it hard to believe longevity/loyalty do NOT count. So as I read it, the person that started yesterday will accrue at the same rate as me? "full time employees will accrue 0.059 hgours of PTO for each paid hour up to a maximum of 4.62 hours acrrued in a pay period." HUH? Not real clear to me. So we only get 4.62 hours per pay period?

I would love to know how people are handling this new NJA policy. As I understand it, if we get NJA during our work schedule, we are supposed to keep checking back for work through our shift. We are allowed to work at any time up until midnight to get in our hours for the day without approval. I really think if they have no work during your shift, they should pay your benefit rate for the hours there is no work. I know some states have this, but mine does not. It just does not seem rig ...

A couple weeks ago someone on here mentioned that we do not have to use our PTO for NSA. She advised me to contact HR, which I did, who also told me the policy is we do NOT have to use our PTO for NSA. The conflict is, my SM sends out emails prior to time card approval stating we have to use PTO if we have it, or submit PTO for unpaid if we have no balance. I am curious to know if my SM just isnt aware of the policy, or if she just wants us to use our PTO so our hours will all be accounted for. ...
