MT meeting today - Question about time?

Posted: Mar 19, 2012

The email said 12pm Eastern time, does that mean 11am central time? Sorry if seems like a stupid question, but just wanna be sure. I get confused with time zones.

I just wanna attend to see if its anything I can benefit from and hear what they have to say. You should have recieved an email about it.

Also, I think you can veiw it at your leisure but 12pm Eastern time is when it will be live.

wonder why you wouldnt be interested in attending - a paid meeting?

[ In Reply To ..]
Just curious I guess.

not attending either - make more money typing

I make more $$ typing/editing than I would sitting on a stupid conference call. Personally I don't care what they have to say. I don't think they know how to tell the truth and no matter how they spin this Boost thing and try to make it sound like a good thing for us, it isn't. They have no intention of paying us more money, only making us more productive. I just don't have the patience today to sit on a call with thousands of other MTs who ask stupid questions.

Yeah, sounds like maybe you shouldn't attend. - nm

happy typing.

and maybe you should and report back to us - not a cheerleader

Apparently being paid to attend a meeting is enough incentive for you whereas to me it seems to be a bribe. If they didn't pay nobody would attend. Why must they do a call? Can't they just send out the info via email?

We used to have conference calls all the time for a certain account because some MTs just couldn't get the formatting right. The QC kept talking about moving your cursor over something to highlight it and one MT stated she never got a cursor with her new computer and who did she ask to get one. True story.

Laugh out loud at the cursor thing!! But seriously - I am off today so

dont mind attending. Plus if its something that affects the way I do my job, I dont mind. Maybe I will get something out of it, maybe I wont. But I will never know if I dont participate.

As far as reporting back here, no thanks. Obviously those that dont attend are not interested and thats their right. But I do believe it will be available to listen to at your leisure.

As long as they're paying, I'll gladly take a break from ASR :) - nm

Not big on questions, I feel I get more out of listening. - nm

I'm surprised no one has protested the fact that absolutely nothing was said about the NJA situation today, or what that means to our future working for MM. Why are our jobs no longer available? Will more be forthcoming? Will we be stuck with either no work or work from many different hospitals we're not familiar with? What is the immediate future of the American MT/ME? This whole situation depresses me terribly. Seeing our profession go under is like experiencing the death of a ...

Well now, don't all we US MTs at Acusis feel better after our quarterly meeting? After being informed of all the new accounts signed on, we are told that, of course, they are going to India.

Has anyone actually received pay for manditory meetings we attended discussing the transition from DTS to Transcend? Our acct mgr even sent out an email saying that payment on the LAST meeting would be delayed until this pay period, but I find nothing on my check stub to suggest we've been paid for any of them yet. If you have, where is the information located on your check stub? All I have is straight pay and holiday pay. TIA ...

I am so tired of receiving the frantic emails about TAT, I am tired of being on MOT, I am tired of attempts being made to make the MTs feel like it is THEIR fault the POD has the highest number of unedited jobs in the system. I am tired of groups being blamed for work going out of TAT when the problem is under staffing. We are human. We are limited in the amount of production we can crank out. If high volume is the case for a week or two, I can understand putting in a lit ...

Always the same old song and dance. The subject of MTs needing more pay per line comes up, and what does the speaker do? Redirect the focus on all the added "upgrades" to their software they plan to buy (probably for hundreds of thousands of dollars) to "help us be more productive". Got news for them. You can only go SO fast. There IS a limit. And after all the emphasis on accountability and accuracy, do they not see that speed just increases errors ...

Well, I see MQ is still touting the fact that we can produce more with ASR. Some things never change. If I had had notice that DSG was selling out from under us, I'd have started seriously looking for another job a long time ago. Not to mention 3 cpl less for QA submissions over 5%. Same ol' place I left all those years ago that I swore i wouldn't go back to. Actually, I didn't, I was just sort of "put" there. Have choices, though, and have ...

Today our inhouse hourly waged MTs group figured out a way to keep our work in our clinic and not being outsourced. We are going to make our present wage AND get back some of the doctors that went to outside line count charge. We put our heads together and figured it out and our director (not an MT in any way, shape, or form) is all for our plans. Now that is what I call a first step to keeping our jobs in house! We were scared to present this but it would have been worse ...
