Face it... - UsedToLoveMT

She/they are never ever. EVER. going to tell you what you want to hear on these calls. Ever. They tell us things we already know - what our collective concerns are via the employee survey, that they're oh-so-excited about this and that - things that will pad THEIR paychecks, not ours - and spout off a bunch of useless "statistics" that not one of us cares about - pretty much how successful THEY are as a company, not us as the MTs. Pass on some of that wealth! Again, if you're reading this, Management, please remember you would not have a job were it not for us MTs.
Two things hit me hard on this call - one being the words "managed out" when referring to the firings/layoffs. That was just weird and tacky. Call it like it is, sister. So were these people really fired because of performance issues and because of lack of work on their accts? Maybe the performance thing, I don't know, but lack of work?? Oh don't even get me started - you people are still hiring new people every day! The second was the statistics about average line counts going up to a whopping - what was it - 185 lines per hour? If you're making 4 pennies per line that equals a big 7.40 per hour. Is that really what you call progress? I am speechless. If I wasn't getting paid for those calls, I would not attend.
Its all for show anyway - stopped going after the first one
[ In Reply To ..]Now Amy will disappear to her castle for 6 months until she is required to do another one of her "good deeds" for the servants. They want to make it look like they are listening and caring, thus the survey and these calls but in reality they hate these calls more than we do. Improved communication? What is that? They wouldn't communicate with us at all if they could get away with it.
Here is something for Amy to think about regarding her progress on average line counts: I do at least double the company average. I do minimal research, I send through blanks, I make minimal ASR corrections and I care less about quality now than I ever have. Quantity is now my focus. There is your progress. It is all a numbers game now.

EVERY DAY, Another SLAP In The Face!
Dec 29, 2013
The other day I emailed my "boss" asking for a reversal on a FIESA because the report came through with no information but the dictator's name. I got dinged because when I did a search to find the person, a piece of information was incorrect. Not something he verbally said, just something I'm supposed to know for this account which has a bazillion different entities. Of course, she was off for most of the holiday week and just got back to me, wondering what my point was be ...
Face It. Our Piece Of The Pie Is Smaller.
Sep 22, 2010
This used to be a career where many of us were able to ride the gravy train for awhile. Don't get me wrong, we really worked hard for our money. But, back in the day, we either had our own accounts and kept the entire cpl, or we worked for an MTSO who subcontracted to us or hired us to transcribe and we got a bigger piece of that cpl pie. I made some fantastic money even 12 years ago. I was working on tapes or rerecording on from my Skutch box. The years have advanc ...
Nuance Laughed In My Face

Yesterday I got a call from Support asking questions about my system for the upcoming ebtxt migration. When I told him I had satellite, he actually laughed and then turned to his coworkers, joked to them about it, and they all laughed too. When I asked what was so funny, he was taken aback, as if he didn't expect me to be offended by his behavior. He then apologized and mumbled something about satellite having a slow download time. Not only was his behavior unprofessiona ...
A Smiley Face Moment

Typed a friendly, clear, efficient doctor on an account I have never heard of before and will probably never have again, but he was dictating on a "pleasantly demented woman" and exam was "a little difficult" due to the fact that she "sang throughout the entire exam." It just made me smile to think of the elderly lady sitting there singing while he was trying to listen to her heart and lungs. I'll take whatever smiles I can get these days... ...

What A Smack In The Face! Just Looked At My Pay Stub For The 1st Time

in a few months. I get direct deposit and rarely check my pay stubs on line. I've been doing significantly more lines this month so I wanted to see exactly what I make per line on ASR. I went from 6.75 to .555!! What? I am SO upset and disappointed. Why didn't they tell me about this huge cut in pay? Here I was calculating my lines at the 6+ rate, only to see on my pay stub that I've been making substantially less per line. I feel sick! I am going to contact my supe, but I don ...
