RE: AUDIT SCORE REQUIREMENTS - Jasmine

Posted: Nov 27, 2013

Hey ladies (and guys):

Just wondering if anyone else is having trouble getting and maintaining the high audit scores (99.5 to 99.6%).

I noticed some companies only require about 98% or so.

I can swing that but CONSISTENTLY getting 99% and above is TRICKY (unless you have perfect dictators)!

98% is the industry standard. I don't know what - sm

these people are thinking. One typo & you're subject to performance management. Are the Indians held to this same standard, because if not that would be discrimination.

My email last week said I had an average of 100% - no clue how that happened.

Honestly I think it's luck of the draw. If they pull easy reports you are good. If they pull something you struggled with you are most likely frustrated and will mess up and have a critical error.

The micromanaging is insulting. They had started it during my time with them. The 99% score, and to make matters worse, it wasn't an average on 5 audited report, it had to be ALL reports audited. Were a high school student, and I got 4/5 on a test, and the teacher said that he would fail me anyway, then I would have reminded him/her that many teachers had gotten shot in recent years.

I broke my leg earlier in the year, and because their corporate office was TOO CHEAP to offer any sick leave, and put a cap on the PTO we could accrue, I had to go back to work before I was medically recommended to do so. All requests for reasonable accommodations were flatly refused.

I even went so far and told them I that I knew micromanagement when I see it, and if they were "culling the herd," then I wasn't going to stand for it.

You could imagine how that turned out.

We should be occupying them instead of Wall Street.

But I imagine there's going to come a day that I don't meet it. No one's perfect. What's the expression, "Only God can bat .500?" So whenever that happens I'll just have to see what they do about it.

audit score of 99.5 - fancy

[ In Reply To ..]
I was consistently getting 99 to 100% audits. Then, all of a sudden I started getting docked on errors that really have no impact on the reliability of the document. I believe that something is going on that we know nothing about, i.e., they are going to start cutting QA people (which someone else reported) or there is some kind of a bonus for supervisors who are able to keep the audits above 99.6, whether it be a bonus check or more PTO. There is definitely something going on. It is called nit picking and we are targets.

I guess I am screwed. In all my years I have never had this many "Major Errors". Guess I have just been stupid my whole life and didn't know it. Score below 98 and since they have been monitoring me quite a lot the last week or so I imagine they are done with me for the quarter. Some of these errors are errors, but REALLY? If/of is kind of a typo in my book. SR had it one way and I did fail to catch it, but really had no change in context. How can they ex ...

My FIESA scores are VERY low this quarter with a lot of points being taken off for errors.

No matter how hard I try these days I cannot get my accuracy back to what it has been for years. I always maintained 99% or higher, mostly always right at 100% but now I cannot even get to 98% with everyone they keep marking me off for. It has gotten ridiculous. I have never ever had this many reports audited and marked for not having an s at the end of a word. So disheartening when I feel I am doing so good. Been at this for a very long time and never had anything like t ...
