E-mail from CCM scolding team - pitbullmom


Posted: Dec 15, 2010

My team received a scolding e-mail from CCM today regarding low quality on editing ASR, low audit scores and customer complaints.  Wants us all to take a deep breath, start fresh and ask how we would like our own family members' reports to look like this.  Then I noticed a typo in the e-mail.  Am I being too cynical about quality here ?  Talk about lowering morale !  Thanks.

i got an email kind of like that today - sm

i took it as more pep talkish than scolding. I will have to check for a typo to see if it is the same one. As I was reading, I thought maybe a raise would help improve things, give us more motivation and less stress. When you go for the 644, quality is going to suffer unless you have amazing accounts

it came from one of the previous ceos of the Q - sm

according to him it was the average lines per hour of the top transcriptionists that we could achieve by turning the speed on the dictation all the way up to the fastest level. I'm really not sure if 644 was the number given, but it was some number in the lower or mid-600s
yet another guilt motivated email - NJA Queen

The email basically implied that if we were not averaging 644 lph we were lazy. The CEO didn't realize that in order to achieve those numbers you either need lengthy standards to pull into your reports or do what some MTs were doing and putting the reports through spellcheck and uploading (seriously, not even listening to the audio or fixing anything). So then the MTs turned the speed up to hit that magic number and the quality went down (imagine that!) and FTR was born.
Whaaa??? Had he ever listened to dictation as fast as it - could go?

All this company knows how to do is send blasting snarky emails to everyone, there is no such thing as constructive criticism, a positive email or even singling a person out for their mistakes, they just send out blanket threats. As for me, I just hit delete and go on my way, not even dignifying the stupid emails with a response. Respect and courtesy goes both ways and MQ has a lot to learn.

You go, girl. Me, too. I just KNOW those emails - arent for me. nm

training-type position with the Q after I got my master's degree so I wouldn't have to leave the company (or sell my house to move!) but there were none to be had, just CCM or QA or sales (no thanks).

MQ Scolding Team - Crabbymt

My team got a similar email, but our message ended w/ the threat of us losing our jobs than trying to motivate. In my 10+ years w/ MQ I've never seen anything like that. Come to think of it all our emails end in a negative tone anymore.

That makes me mad and sad. Our team CCM sent an e-mail to our team saying "great work team, keep it up. Thanks for what you do. You all are awesome." And when I passed my audit she sent me a TEXT telling me "congratulations and thank you for doing such an excellent job"..

I bet if you all had her for your CCM you'd be more inclined to feel better about your job. I wish she was everyone's CCM. :(

Certainly not motivated much by mere words not backed up by pay that shows real appreciation. ...

Team Leaders
Jun 21, 2012

Sooo, was just wondering what exactly does a team lead do and how much do they make? I am fairly new to Transcend/Nuance, and my regional manager seems to always be the one directing things, emailing, calling you back if you have ??. I really don't have any idea what my team leader is doing other than sending account stats and I think she checks the time sheets for errors. Add to that the fact that I get emails from 3 different team leaders within my region with essentially the exact sam ...

NOBODY IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION YOU MAY HAVE.  All the sudden no matter who is "on" always has a busy notice up on their status.  How frustrating is this when you work on an account where seems like every other crappy speaker wants things done their way, which contradicts everything else and ultimately makes no sense.  But do you think that anybody would be available to answer a question H NO!!!  All their "changes" to make things better are only making things wors ...

The TSM and QC person I've worked with forEVVVVER in the west is gone, both of them being moved up into new positions, and dividing their accounts and the entire team of MTs/MMEs has been disassembled and moved to other areas.  I am *terribly* sad about this because they were both absolutely amazing to work for, but I'm glad that I'll be staying in the Western region. My question is about my new TSM here in the West.  Her initials are KP ... anyone working with her?&nbs ...


New Auditing Team

Alas, our 99.6% audits are no longer being done by our local BOB QA person but by an official MModal auditing team.  I wonder if they are as illiterate as the Mmodal corporate types.  Happy Halloween, now that's scary.  Kind of makes me picture the 3 witches in Macbeth, toiling over a pot of our work, creating mayhem. ...

Region Team Lead

Just read the MQ Central news about the pilot program for a new position called Region Team Lead (RTL).

It didn't really specify who will be doing PTO requests, etc. (unless I overlooked it) I'm glad I already requested Christmas off and it was granted! Thanks CTL! I'll miss you! ...
