OT makes the TSM - look good

Posted: Aug 03, 2014

but it sure leaves us short of work. But, hey, at least she gets her bonus.

OT is needed to stay in TAT. THey cant hold jobs for MTs to have - work, that would take jobs out of TAT. nm

These jobs were in NO DANGER - of going out of TAT.

Whatsoever. Not when we are fighting each other for them as soon as they pop up. I'm not asking them to hold jobs, just don't offer OT when it isn't needed.

You've got to know it would be hard to - predict volume and

when OT is needed and not. I feel the same way when they announce one of my accounts has a lot of work. Sort of like, hey, I'm getting to that. But, in reality, it's turning into a "be available all the time and do what you can when they are busy." That variable is still there that no one can anticipate---when exactly are they going to dictate?

So, if the manager takes the chance on the people on shift to finish what is on the system (and that nothing else comes in to blow TAT), what happens to the TAT if someone is sick or just plain doesn't show up. This works both ways. If you happen to be an always productive person, always on time, always finishes your shift, I'm sure it is frustrating to see the work disappear before you get to do your work, but you have to have some sympathy for the management end, cuz they get threatened all the time with that account going elsewhere if they are not in TAT.

work flow uncertainty - MT

Maybe they should make us independent contractors who work according to the work flow. Just keep an eye on it and work accordingly.

I have sympathy for myself - since I only got in 2 hours

out of 8 yesterday, while the TSM got her usual $50,000+ annual salary, even while being out of the office for the last 4 days.

Mine has been on vacation more than working - just saying

Over the last 2 months! But the one day I requested off got denied. Go figure.

Everytime I do this doctor's transcription (ironically he is a pulmonologist) he snorts phlegm in the back of his nose right into the microphone and will even cough from it sometimes because he does it so hard. Tonight during an 11 min. dictation by him, halfway through I had to get up and run to the bathroom because I was gagging. He did it 5 times in the first 5 min. of the job. I once reported a doc who uses voice recognition and apparently did her dictation on her lunch break WHIL ...

I'm sure that the bigwigs at MM are very aware of the many disgruntled and downright angy posts on this board in the past week or two. It's sad that no one in the head office has addressed our concerns, either with a company-wide email or even a post on this site. It confirms that we are truly at the bottom of the totem pole and that they just want results, not happy employees. ...

I am currently awaiting a call from my boss about going salary for my position as an MT, and I have no patience , so just for fun I googled "how much salary does a medical transciptionist get paid" and I clicked on this link to one of those question/answer sites where someone asked about the average transcriptionist's salary, and what I read made me sick. This person wrote a huge answer about what is to be an MT and how they get paid and such. This person is claiming essentially they ...

I can't take much more! I didn't get a single bad report on FIESA for 2 weeks. Then they did that evaluation and wanted me to change my shift, being really nice to me.

Then I get nasty emails because I had been an hour short last week and the importance of working all my hours during my s ...

Please to explain why we have to be physically talking to a Support person in order to claim time in Webclock?

Odd how some will say, oh we can just stay on the phone while I'm doing this, while others say they'll call back when done. Prefer to stay on the phone, it's more interactive and proper (and we should be getti ...

shouldn't be held responsible for what MQ says. If MQ doesn't want the responsibility for correct reports, they shouldn't make the deals, instead of making deals and then underpaying MTs and putting all the responsibility on them. All MQ is after is the money, not the responsibility that goes with making the money. ...
