Confusing message - what to do
Posted: May 04, 2015
So we get an email yesterday stating that now when we work extra hours/OT we have to pick up shifts off the swapboard instead of emailing TSM or schedule person to help them keep better track. Except this morning we get an email that work is current and to delay our starting times. So now are we to pick times off the swapboard in order to make up the time that we got delayed and are we still to keep working extra? Just once it would be nice if everyone could be on the same page.
Got the first email, but not the second, and - am ignoring both.
[ In Reply To ..]I do not see how taking shifts off the swap board that they have added just to give us OT helps them keep any better track of what OT people are commiting too, especially when you can pick up a shift 1 minute before you want to work. If I want to work 1-2 hours extra a day, I don't want to be commited to certain times. I will sign on and off when I can around my other personal duties. I'm just going to work OT as I want to just as I have the past many weeks and see what happens. I seriously doubt I will get any flack about it and if I do. I will tell them what I think about their swap board.
The swapboard is awful. If you - sm
[ In Reply To ..]actually wanted to swap a shift with someone for an event rather than using your PTO, then okay, but they're trying to use it to cover scheduling gaps, OT, etc. That's not what it's for. That's the job of our professional scheduler people..... Guess they haven't realized if they make everyone use the swapboard for everthing, then their position won't be needed anymore.
One of the PODs - said they were scrapping
[ In Reply To ..]the swapboard because it wasn't working. This company couldn't find its with both hands and a flashlight.

2 Confusing Ads
Jan 17, 2012
There are 2 somewhat mystifying ads posted on another site. One has the company name as EdoScribe, but the link to their site is invalid. Googling yields nothing, but I did get at hit under ECHOScribe. Is this a typo made more than once or is this a new company that hasn't yet set up their website? The second "strange" ad says they are looking for weekend MTs, but the job is listed as FULL-time. Things that make you go "hmmm..." ...
So Confusing!
Jan 17, 2013
If 5 or more blanks on Snotface account, send an email to supervisor, but if 5 or more blanks on Snotface account with Dr. Booger, no need to send email because focused audit on that account. But continue to send email on other accounts with 5 or more blanks with cc to quality supervisor, except for accounts by Dr. Puke. So exasperating! I just ignore these now after having accumulated about 50 post-it notes with reminders. I just threw the reminders out and am winging it.&nbs ...

TTS Pay? Confusing Information

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who is currently working for TTS. In searching the forums, it seems some people are making 3 cents per line and others are making 4 cents per line.

Another Confusing Fill-in By MME..........hematocrit Of 340???
Oct 21, 2009
Someone please set me straight if I'm wrong, but it is even possible for a child (or anyone) in any case to have a hematocrit of 340? A dictator said: "hemoglobin 15, hematocrit 340" It really sounded like he said 340 but that didn't sound right to me, so I left a marker. But it was filled in with 340. I could have done THAT. I guess I could be wrong--but in my 10 years as an MT the hematocrit is always just about 3 times the hemoglobin (which ...

I'm trying to follow it, but the headings section is giving me a major headache. Why are they even messing with this stuff?

The ONLY thing it's saving me from is writing the: 1., 2., 3....I still have to separate and list them. I just finished the document check process. It's just overwhelming. One t ...
Misunderstood Or Confusing Dictation
Jan 31, 2011
I am currently in my last quarter of schooling and have a project I am currently working on. My instructor wants me to research the different ways of how to handle dictation that cannot be understood or is confusing and also how this procedure differs depending on work environment, such as on site, at home, large service, etc. I have talked to a few transcriptionists and some suggestions they have given are; speeding up or slowing down the recording, looking to see if the word makes sense accor ...
QA Is So Confusing With All That Color Coded Crap

when you click on an error, I would logically have assumed that would take you to the spot where the error is in the text. Nope. It may, maybe, go to the spot in the voice job, but not in the text. How in the world does anyone learn from their mistakes here???? This color-coded crap is way too confusing, the screen in Emdat is way too small to see anything properly, and I have a laundry list of other complaints but that would take too long to print here ...

I'm just wondering when was the last time any of us took a moment and researched outside of this forum to get a better idea of what is happening with the MT industry? Someone had asked last week for a listing of the largest? MTSOs. I posted regarding the KLAS MTSO study June 2008, but I wonder just how many MTs actually read it and absorbed the information that was made available to them within the free study. There's all the commotion about ...

New Message From The Top
Mar 31, 2011
Did anyone else get the message from Massanotti? What do you think? Also, I went to medquist.com and was struck by the fact that they are marketing front-end dictation systems with SpeechQ, thereby eliminating transcriptionists altogether! I am not surprised, any way to get us out of the picture will make them more money. It just seems odd that they would tell us on one hand that they value us and then on the other try to get rid of us altogether.... ...
