Curious how many are on Performance Management... - Frazzled

Posted: Aug 07, 2014

I failed for the month of July at 9.38 so will be moving onto my final warning...I would love to know how many others are going through the same...Just makes me feel stupid and inadequate. :( Probably unemployment line for me soon. So humiliating.

wish that - Debs

I would just get fired already, going through the same thing. Can't take much more either.

Me, too! Demeaning. - chillywinter

Been here 20 years and never a problem until recently...demeaning and feel like I'm in kindergarten as opposed to being a trained professional (which we all ARE!!!).

Been doing this for 12 years myself! - Frazzled

This is the first time this has happened to me too. We were never treated like this. I am waiting for the dreaded email and phone call for my final warning today. Would be almost a relief for me too if I were let go. I would love to collect unemployment and go back to school for a bit to totally change careers. I started with Spheris back in 2005 and when I was hired they wanted 98% accuracy...so I think I would have a leg to stand on to get unemployment. It is not like I am failing intentionally. I really am trying! That is what is so sad about it.

I worked for Spheris too - mom2huskies

I started with Spheris in 2005 after working in-house for over 20 years. Spheris was not perfect but at least you could make an income you could like on. Mmodal expects us to be perfect on minimum wage pay.

Exactly mom2huskies!!!! - Frazzled

I am just making minimum wage too...pay went down a couple hundred dollars since the Spheris days. They didn't chastise you if you made a mistake either. They basically would let you know and that would be the end of it....I have been on PM since March, I believe. As I said above...will be moving into my Final warning now.

I'm on PM - Rusty

I don't care that I am on it, really. Wish they would get off the pot and fire me already. I haven't had any working for the last 2 days, um what holiday is it? I have done it for 24 years and never been in any kind of trouble, but with this crap hole, it has been never ending. I HATE THIS PLACE. Shoot me already.

Feel the same way Rusty... - Frazzled

Been stressing over this for too long. Wish they would just let me go too. I feel like a beat dog....or a kid who keeps getting bad grades. Nothing like making people feel like losers!!

Me! - CT

I'm working until the shoe drops and actively applying elsewhere while I'm waiting.

It really is nice to not feel alone.... - Frazzled

[ In Reply To ..]
Thanks for the kind responses. I am just worried and don't know what to expect and really does help to know that there is someone else out there that is going through the same thing. Not that I would wish this on anyone!!!!

To those of you on PM, do they deduct your pay - L&L

[ In Reply To ..]
while you are on this?

If so, wake up. Mmodal doesn't give a rodent's heinie about quality. It has nothing to do whatsoever with the caliber of your work.

Think of all the moola they save when they cut your salary for almost no reason at all.

I haven't been put on PM yet but fear I might. Got an email that said I had a "low-scoring feedback report." It was for using follow up instead of followup (I know better) and then omitting the word "the." Now, I will own up to these mistakes, they WERE my mistakes, but by no means life-threatening in any case. But apparently this caused my score to drop below 98%. Now I'm terrified they are going drop my pay by 3 cents a line, and I am already in danger of not being able to ...

Does anyone who goes on Performance Management ever come off again, or does it inevitably result in a layoff/firing or quitting? Is this usually done after failing the 3rd audit? What usually happens when you fail your second audit? I've only failed one but I'm trying to put a plan together in case there's a 2nd. ...

It's clearly just a maneuver to save them money. The more of us on performance management, the less they have to pay us. I'm sure it is a monstrous savings to them. Failed my first audit this month. The minute I'm put on performance management is the minute I'm filing for social securty and changing my phone number. ...

Are there any companies out there who do NOT punish their good employees? I have never worked a place yet where good performance is NOT punished. We're the "go-to" employees. We're the ones who can always be depended on, work overtime, do more than the required work, report to work on-time, and rarely or never call in sick. We're the ones who are told we're invaluable, indispensable, and that our company wishes they could "clone." Then what happ ...

Most of us are typing for many, many different hospitals. If you send out e-mails lumping all the hospitals together with helpful hints on what we are doing wrong and what we should be doing, where should we be filing these e-mails for future reference? If we take too long to try to find the info in your e-mails, that gets counted against us in the Inactivity Graft that we have to stare at each day. Unless you have a better suggestion, could you please simply split up ...

...on the community page. Nearly every employee I see is meeting or exceeding their minimum required line count. The numbers speak for themselves. They make these numbers available for anyone in the company to see. The posts on MTStars make it sound like there is absolutely no work for anyone. It is simply untrue. I am an Webmedx MT. I am not a suit. I am happy with my job. I too am tired of the constant bashing and conspiracy t ...

I am having a computer problem hope you can help...I have a laptop that I had to replaced the hard drive in about 6 weeks or so ago. When we first got it back, it worked faster than before. Now, less than 2 months later, it is really slow. I defragment the hard drive once a week, etc. but it has not helped. The PC that I use for work (I do not use for anything but work) never has had a problem with getting slower but with the laptop it is bad. Of cous ...

This is the 3rd one since being put in this pod. I liked the last one because she was laid back, calm, answered the actual question you asked and actually gave useful nonshaming advice. The first PC I had in this group was hyperactive, never could seem to understand or answer the question asked, always had something to say about absolute correctness, and never let you get a word in edgewise if you tried talking to her on the phone. We'll see about this one. She sounds like she might be ...

It has become obvious that a company is putting us in work pools, NOT to get improved TAT, but to either play favorites or to give the primo/better dictators to the MTs who cannot handle the crappiest dictators. I have noted that I have had the same lousy dictators over and over again, no matter what time of day I work or which days of the week. I never seem to get the ones that I consider better dictators, nor do I seem to be getting the long consults (which I also like). ...

Interesting reading at family practice office this week, publication for Family Physician Practice, saying how software developers are working feverishly on new products for physician offices where they will choose their diagnoses and what-have-you from drop-down menu (yes, that will completely eliminate transcription). Problems arising already with "trials", where docs weren't making "right" choices with their documentation. (They were not taking enough time with modifiers, etc.) It ...

I'd appreciate any advice about this. I normally have scores between 98 and 99, a few weeks I was over 99. Anyway, I have been put on a Performance Improvement Plan and have 1 week to get 99 or over. If I don't, I will be put on a PIP from HR which sounds ominous but I don't know what that means. Please let me know what to expect and if I am danger of being fired. Thanks! ...

When we, the MTs/MMEs are dealing with a truly horrendous dictator that just about everyone except for a small handfull of people are having great difficulty understanding, why don't you take all (and there are truly so many) of the reports corrected by this small handful of MMEs and copy them to the Repository where blanks can be more efficiently searched for? Are you going to say that it is too difficult to deal with the group that gets the reports into the Repository, just as ...

I have just reached my 90 day evaluation period with a company but they are saying that I have not reached my 1000 line count per day and that they are putting me back to "part time" employee status because of it. I won't get any holiday pay accumulating now. What bugs me is that for a few weeks they didn't have any work available to me and they are including this time to average my line counts. I do well over 1000 lines per day when there is work. Also, they as ...
