"Similar to 2013, our MT Week theme this year is Quality and all HDS/SHDA employees will be able to participate in fun and educational activities highlighting the importance of quality."
Get ready - To share
[ In Reply To ..]Your helpful quality tips! I knew I should have kept those Shaw emails with the handy tips!
Facilities ought to enlightened about the SACRIFICE we have made to provide quality. - Rose
[ In Reply To ..]A 75% decrease in wages while forced to work in a sweat shop environment. If the clients only knew the price we have had to pay they would at least express some appreciation for their perfect medical documentation and all the volunteer work we do to ensure it.
I think MTs across the country should REFUSE - TO PARTICIPATE in MT Week.
[ In Reply To ..]It's an insult to our intelligence, our dignity, and to the profession.
DON'T participate in their stupid games and quizzes. So what if there's a "prize" for the winner? Do any of us really need a gift card or an M*Modal logo mouse pad that badly?
Just say NO! to MT Week.
Refuse to participate - MEMT
[ In Reply To ..]I'm not participating! That's for sure!! In order to get recognized for the work that we do for free and underpaid for what is necessary to do, you know what will freeze over before I celebrate that! It struck a nerve with me when I read that e-mail. Maybe I"ll write an essay and post it all over the place about how Mmodal and its evil twin Nuance treat their so called employees (slaves)!
You are right! - mt
[ In Reply To ..]If they appreciated us they would show it all year, not just one week a year! Reward our hard work and high quality reports by paying us what we deserve, not by constantly taking from us.
MT week - mtinmi
[ In Reply To ..]I know it isn't realistic, but wouldn't it be nice if every MT just took the same day off and no work was done? Bet then they would appreciate us!!
Wholeheartedly agree - Just plain tired
[ In Reply To ..]I had already made up my mind to not participate this year. You can't beat people down and then expect them to get excited about winning a $25 gift card. We all know what is going to happen though. They are going to want essays about what a joy it is to work at MModal and for the sake of a gift card, there are plenty of people willing to sell their souls for it. I think it would send a message if there was a drastic decline in the number of people who participated, but we all know that will never happen.
How do you not participate - sm
[ In Reply To ..]If we are working we are participating..Agree wouldnt it be nice if we all got "the flu" for the week.
Ooooh! Can hardly wait! - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Just like an abusive husband. They beat you up and then buy you flowers.
If it's anything like last year, - sm
[ In Reply To ..].
If it's anything like years ago, when I worked - s/m -
[ In Reply To ..]at Acusis, "I got a stuffed starfish".
And just like every year - I wont waste my time
[ In Reply To ..]A bunch of people who enjoy the medquist koolaid will work their regular shift, earning piddly wages, and then waste hours of their free time participating in "fun and educational" BS.
If MT week was really to show they appreciate us, they wouldn't make us WORK for a miniscule chance to win a crappy gift. It's amazing how many people don't see how insulting it is.

HAPPY MT WEEK - Have A Great Week
May 17, 2010
To all you wonderful MTs working and slaving your lives away, Happy MT Week. I appreciate you. I appreciate your kindness when I have a rant or a rave, when I'm at my wits end with the constant changing around of clients, client profiles and the never ending dings being thrown at me. I appreciate knowing that I am not alone in this struggle. It is because of all of you, and only you MTs on this board that I manage to stay in this game. We are treated as less than second class citiz ...

Good grief. I did not change the way I edit. It so depends on how many commas they think you should have. Yes, I made an unusual (for me) mistake last week, but the rest of passing an audit is dumb luck of whether you get a realistic auditor or Ms English wannabe. Everybody must be under pressure because of the cesspool as I see a lot of mistakes when I look up past reports to help with these mush mouths and accents. The time czar wants schedule changes, but I see no problems with turna ...

I've never heard of National MT Week. Been doing MT for 10 years for the same MTSO. Never came on to MT Stars until about the last six months. Obviously, I have never gotten anything for MT Week, so at least some of you are lucky that you do get a little something, whatever it might be. My MT job just keeps getting better and better (NOT) with pay decreases and work lost to VR. ...

MT Week
May 15, 2015
I really think the easiest way to send MModal a message would be if everyone, and I mean everyone, just did not participate. I think that would be the loudest message of all that we do not give a flying cr** about their "games" anymore. You want to appreciate me, treat me like the skilled, knowledgable, MT that I used to be paid a living a fair wage for. Bring back a real incentive, bring back shift differentials, give back an actual end-of year bonus, etc. ...

OMG, what a horrible time I'm having. This pay I'm not even averaging my minimum. All around the country again. What happened to lock down? I thought I sent 2 reports to QA but forgot to mark the QA box. Not my fault for the blanks but according to what I've been told, if we just can't understand the dictator, we have to send it to QA. MOST of the work I send to QA they can't get either, but its counted against us anyway. W ...

MT Week Gift
May 24, 2010
Just received my MT gift. I really think that Medquist must feel "It is the thought that counts". It probably cost them more to mail these then they are worth. Why don't they just give us an extra hour off with training pay - worth more to me than this mousepad. I need an ergonomic mouse pad anyway - did they ever think of giving their "beloved" employees one of those? Oh well. Just another day being an MT. ...

MT Week And MTSO's
May 19, 2010
The little "trinkets" some of you have received is extremely comical and a so-called slap in the face to some, but some may view it as an actual good gesture, although I do not agree. When I worked at neurology they used to always acknowledge MT week with flowers or a $25 gift card to our local mall, but when they got a new office manager he combined Secretary's Week and MT Week into one. My coworker and I got acknowledged one year on Secretary's Week - now that is a slap in the face ...
