Cherry Pickin - noneya

Very easy to cherry pick on this DQS program without getting caught, do the easy dictations and get a high line count. If you want the secret, let me know.
words cannot describe - my dislike for people like you nm

Amen to that. On the other hand, eventually cheaters who steal from their coworkers always get what they deserve in the end.
Yeah - MMODAL

is cherry picking all the work to India and leaving us nothing. They will get what they deserve in the end.

I personally do not cherry pick. I learn by finishing the reports from difficult dictators.
However, it is the new age where the higherups of MModal cherry pick themselves by sending the good reports over to India. Also the new age for the leftist in this country and for the people in this country we need to do what we can to survive whether it is cherry picking reports to even purchasing guns. Soon we the People will have no say so what we will be able to do or even say.

Wow! No need to make a big political statement over it. It's just a way to make the job a little easier. Let the Indians do the hard stuff.
Wow, weirdest post ever - MModal Livestock

Maybe I'm confused, but are you saying that because a Democrat is in office and we're in a recession, it's alright to steal good reports from your fellow MTs, many of whom, may share your personal beliefs and be on your side?
Sorry, but cherry picking is wrong regardless of whether someone else is doing it. Since the dawn of time people have been doing immoral and unethical things. That is not an excuse to do them yourself or advocate others to do so.
I would like to know how you are doing it - fill me in

I cant figure this program out for anything.

Some is using my nickname too. Only the first reponse to Cherry Pickin is mine, starts with Amen. I guess some people have to pilfer more than lines.
I hope you get caught - sm

The fact that you are bragging about it is even more disgusting than the fact that you actually do it.
After you get caught, I hope that whatever reprimand you receive makes you rue the day you decided to cheat.
Obviously trolling or scamming - sm

This person either wants to ruffle feathers or your email address to send you some spam.

Sure let us know. Then we can report you to our TSM and HR.

Yeah, run to tattle to your TSM. You get on here and trash the company you work for, but want to put others down for finding a shortcut. You are the reason the company profits from sweatshop working conditions and the reason everyone is scared to form a union. In the end, none of us will have a job. Just a matter of a short time and we will all be gone.
Who are you? Are you an MT? - me

"Put others down for finding a shortcut"??? You profit from your little "shortcut" but who do you think gets stuck with all the crap work you pass over? Yeah, the rest of us. And you wonder why we put you down? It's wrong and if you can't figure that out, you deserve to be turned in.
How exactly is turning in cherry pickers allowing the company to profit from sweatshop working conditions? Somebody has to do that crap work you discard to make your big paycheck. You are just screwing over your fellow MTs. Has nothing to do with the company, except that they allow it to happen, don't care, but hey, what's new?

Of course, I'm an MT. YOU are the one screwing over your fellow MTs by whining about your crappy working conditions, but not willing to do anything about it. We ALL get crap work. I've just found an easy way to get the least crappy crap work. If you want to type reports that are not in a language you can decipher, go for it.
No one "wants" to - type the crap

the point is that someone has to do it. What makes you so special that that someone isn't you? What makes you more special than me?
Because earlier this morning I transcribed a job where the dictator was absolutely flipping his s**t about some of his reports not coming out exactly the way he wants them. He went on and on, in a very condescending tone, as if I were a first-grader who belonged in the "slower class."
I took the time to transcribe his rant verbatim into an e-mail which went to my supervisor, my leads, as well as the QA team, with the request that someone please look over the report to make sure I had done my pa ...
Had a 14-plus minute traditional report by a good dictator show up in my queue, and I hurried through the VR report I was doing to get to it. But, BAM! As soon as I finished the report and went to the next report, that cherry report was plucked and gone! It was only there for a few minutes, so don't tell me it timed out. I HATE that! Oh, but thanks for leaving the reports done by the awful ESL. That was kind. ...
I don't know what else could have explained it. I work at Transcend and got on this evening to work and had 3 reports staring at me first in my q that were from a hard dictator and were STATs that had been OUT OF TAT since 10-11 AM this morning. It would appear they had been skipped all day. I don't know how because I don't know how to cherry pick if I wanted to. Have never tried to. It isn't fair to other MTs. How else could it have happen ...
Today there was a memo regarding cherry picking. How can we be cherry picking in DQS? The CMT says that she knows who is doing it. That we are logging in and out to get our favorite dictators. I didn't know it was possible to do this. ...
REALLY?? Are we not all in the same position with this company? Are we not all trying to work against impossible odds for a decent paycheck just to keep our heads above water? How and why do the cherry pickers keep getting away with what they are doing without being caught and how can they keep doing what they are doing, knowing they are screwing those of us who don't. You are the same ones over and over, and over. Do you not care that EVERY TIME you ...
I have a question. On my account I type a few notes a week, rest is all VR. So, when I see typed notes in my que, I may not take lunch or something so I can hurry up and get that note. I can type almost as fast as I can edit. My problem is this. At a certain time of day, someone comes on their shift and picks out all the typed notes and leaves me the VR. They also take good speakers. I see it ALOT. How do they do this?
Can I block it?
It's happened so much that now I check ...
Here's the deal, I'm not saying I cherry pick every minute of my shift, but if I have done one after the other report of difficult dictators, then I will go in and assign myself 2 or 3 jobs to give myself a break. I work directly for a hospital and I know that I am absolutely not the only one who does this.
I also cherry pick if the end of my shift is coming up and I find that my lines need a little boost. I will assign myself some easy dictators to boost up my lines ...
My doc says: Observed today, not mentioned above in physical examination, but found to be a wet well circumscribed red rash, which appears to be contact dermatitis possibly secondary to the new Keppra prescription, more likely secondary to the cherry syrup vehicle of that liquid preparation.
I have never heard of cherry syrup vehicle! ...
One of the absolute WORST dictators from my accounts had a gazillion jobs in the queue this morning, all about the same time stamp (must have been downloaded all at once). I started slogging through them, and after a couple hour,s noticed that his backlog was moving a lot faster. Soon, no more jobs from him were coming into my queue, and I was getting jobs from other doctors. I went to lunch, came back, and lo and behold, a couple of jobs from this doctor, now about 3 or 4 hours older.&nbs ...
Just curious about this because it seemed when I worked my last shift, I had all good doctors for a change. Some of them I'd never typed before. So I got to wondering if people can actually cherry pick on eScription. I was under the impression that was one of the benefits of that software, difficult to do that. We all work the same bad shift, let's share the junk reports, please! ...
I didn't think cherry picking was even possible at Nuance. I like the idea of cutting cherry pickers off at the knees though. However, I am pretty sure the real cherry picking is sending all of the easy stuff to India and leaving us with the difficult work types and dictators. ...
There's major cherry pcking going on at my job and there's nothing I can do about it and it makes me soooo mad that I'm considering finding a new job. The "best work" is being funneled to one MT and it's so not fair to the rest of the staff. To MTSO's - Would you rather have 1 happy MT or a staff full of happy MTs???? Doesn't make sense to me. ...
Just wondering if anyone has had a problem with rarely ever getting to work on your primary account because you can really rack up some lines on it, only to be given crappy thick accented dictators? The reason I ask, is if work has been slow, then why are the dictations I have been getting in the evening shifts been dictated at 9 and 10 in the a.m.? Shouldn't those have been done during the day shift? I don't know how much more I can take of this place!!! ...
On 1 account that I work on, there are a couple of dictators who are the worst of the worst. They actually should be reported to their superiors. Many times each day, these reports are downloaded by MTs who simply return them and rather have no work than try to decipher what these idiots spew out. I admit they are very difficult and many times impossible, as I see where QA returns them to the client with blanks, even after additional ears have given a listen.
What I have done ...
Cherry picking is wrong no matter how you look at it. That being said, I believe very strongly that being paid by productivity fosters that very thing! People who are desparate to make a living sometimes resort to doing things that they would not normally do. Add to that the fact that apparently some MTSOs PUNISH employees who do not meet minimum productivity requirements!! When did we start treating medical transcription like factory work???!!! I FIRMLY THINK THAT WE NEED TO BE PA ...
I have all 8 hours worth of ESLs too. Hey, check my number gladly...it surely is not a FAV number by any means. Had a great account. One day I got a call to get off because the supervisor wanted it! Was taken off completely and now the entire account is gone.
The programs are such that they can block off a whole grouping and assign it to one person. They think because you don't see the manager as they do, you are stupid. But I guess we are for work ...
my work and then I would have no problems getting my lines every pay period. What pieces of trash did they select to put in quasi-management positions? ...
Whenever I'm working and she is off, the incoming jobs are typical good, bad and indifferent with alternating different dictators, which is okay, just the usual. But, when she is working, there is nothing but bottom of the barrel crappola dictators, with no rotation until one is done dictating it's block and then another lousy one comes on with another huge block of blah blah crap. Never a good one in the bunch - unless, of course, she is gone. Coincidence? I think not. ...
You know who you are, and I know who you are. I have been watching you do this for months now. Whether you realize it or not, while you are playing this game, switching back and forth from VR and typing, logging off and logging on depending on the dictators, you are causing a decrease in my production. You have been around long enough to know if there are numerous reports in typing from yesterday, you should not be on VR doing the easy reports dictated just an hour ago tod ...
Cherry pickin could be found out with a simple run of the software, so leads do not do this. We want to do this, but we dont. There are times we'd sure like to give the snails a bunch of ickies based on their never ending complaints and irregularity. ...
