Generic emails are counterproductive BTW - tiredmt
Posted: Mar 01, 2015
I cannot express how much I don't want to work when generic emails are sent out. Why not deal with the people not doing what they are supposed to be doing on an individual basis. Maybe it is just me, but that is the adult way to handle things.
I agree. You are probably in my POD with the - same message over and over
[ In Reply To ..]about working schedules, calling off, etc etc. Obviously the generic emails aren't working as it must still be happening.
I have wondered this before and been told that it is - some politically correct HR type of garbage. SM
[ In Reply To ..]It's apparently viewed as "picking on" or "singling out" or maybe even "harassment" of someone when the person who made the mistake receives an email addressed directly to them and no one else.
It's also supposedly CYA because maybe more than one person has made the mistake, or the manager mistakenly checked the wrong name in the address box of the email? I dunno.
It's a PITA because I receive that email as part of the group and I sit here and wonder did I or when did I make that mistake. There's no specific date of occurrence ever given, it's simply "we've received a complaint recently..." and recently can be yesterday or a month ago.
I completely agree, it's the fair and mature way to handle things; addressing the person directly who made the mistake.
Too much politically correct and sensitivity and sparing people's feelings is a huge pain. People need to take their own responsibility and not have it parceled out to the group.
Politically correct or not, the generic emails - usually contain consequences
[ In Reply To ..]and it would be obvious that the consequences are not being enforced or they wouldn't need to continually send the same generic/global message over and over. Obviously those it does apply to either don't realize it or they do and don't care because they view the generic email as just that, generic and no consequences ever enforced.

WEBMEDX - Counterproductive
Nov 04, 2010
In the beginning, we were told to keep track of all jobs (on our time of course and that it took, lot of time) that we felt had more than 40% editing, and llist reasons when they started rolling out the carpet for editing. If they felt that dictator needed more work, they would send it back for more retraining. That lasted for a short time, then we were told (well over a year ago) that they were no longer going to be answering those requests due to other changes that would take ...
Drugs...generic Or Not?
Dec 20, 2010
Ive asked QA this five times to no avail. Truth is, I'm still not sure why SpellCheck doesn't cover this. How do we know when I drug has switched over and is now generic and no longer requires capitalization?? I used to depend on Google (at the bottom of the page whether it is capped or not) but QA has bit me a couple times on this and for the life of me, even after researching, cannot find a 100% reliable answer to this question. As always, thanks in advance! ...

Need Opinion - When You Hear ACE Bandage, Do You Think Brand Name Or A Generic Bandage
Nov 05, 2010
I have been out-of-town, enjoying being away from Medical Transcription for a few weeks, and upon skimming through the posts that I had missed, I noted that there was recently a discussion on the Word Help Board regarding ACE Bandage and if it should be all caps or not. The debate seemed to center around whether ACE should be used for “ACE inhibitor” and Ace for “Ace wrap” to avoid confusion. if you are talking about the original ACE™ wrap or ACE™ ...
I Have Had It. I Get Emails The Other Day

that we cannot send reports with more than 3 blanks through on TWO of the accounts I work on. Right now, I have one of the worst dictators on one of those accounts. She is ESL and she whispers. To top it off, someone is standing very close to her running a VACUUM CLEANER. I CAN'T HEAR her because she is whispering and the vacuum is running. So, yay me. I will probably have more than 3 blanks because of all this and will have to send it to QA even though they ...

all the red tape, the power over our lives, no flexibility anymore, no mercy in case of emergencies or appointments, lists and lists of rules.... I work every single other holiday there is all year long, hoping to take off Tgiving and Xmas. I work NY Eve, NY, Easter, 4th of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, etc. But even though there's never any work on those 2 major holidays, apparently now we MUST work one of them, i.e., ruin all family plans just to get NJA all day anyway. ...
When I Get Those Emails Saying

I feel like saying: Hey, no thanks, I already have 4 accounts, 2 of which I have no interest in. Here's an idea, how about you get all those people on my accounts, which I have been doing for years, off of them, so that I can have my work back? How about you get them off my accounts and give THEM the new accounts? I have enough trouble making decent line counts at all because: (a) no work because overstaffed on my primary. (b) secondary and tertiary accounts unfamiliar and pages of new ...

Emails Monitoring How Much We Do
May 07, 2012
Well, I will not be reading these emails calculating how much time we are working and "goofing off." They will only make me less motivated and quite frankly angry. I am not a robot, there are times after a long difficult report that I have to step away from the computer to give my brain a few minute break. As long as I do the required long count and then some, I will not concern myself with this emails. ...

Don't make huge amount of errors, but definitely not perfect... ...

I really hope she files a complaint with HR for shaming her in front of her peers. Don't look, don't share apparently does not apply to anyone other than MT/MME. ...
