Sort of makes me laugh - Nobody
Posted: Jul 02, 2012
I had the nerve to complain about the work load I was getting and how could I keep up production rates and when I questioned it suddenly I am being audited. I let them know I thought it was interesting the timing of this since I had asked so many questions in the last couple of weeks regarding production.
That is horrible - keep my mouth shut
[ In Reply To ..]That is precisely why I dont say a word to anyone! This place terrifies me.
I asked questions and suddenly the next day - mom2huskies
[ In Reply To ..]I found that they had audited 10 reports. I passed the audit, but I expect at one point they will find something and the other shoe will drop. I hate to say it but sometimes I wish they would just lay me off.
Same thing happened to me - old and burned out
[ In Reply To ..]They had not audited me for 6 months until I complained about the ASR, the sound quality, etc. Then bingo!
That is right. - Nobody
[ In Reply To ..]I just passed an audit a little while back, but for the last couple weeks I noted a big change in my work load. I read my MT Stars and I know that I am not the only one. Things are now happening with my computer and I am getting NJA. Suddenly they need to do an audit.
Fly under the radar - my motto
[ In Reply To ..]I do all I can to stay invisible and anonymous. I punch in, do my job and punch out. Work my schedule, keep my line counts above the minimum. Nothing that would cause a red flag or put me on a list. I stopped complaining a long time ago about things beyond my control because it just puts a target on my back and labeled as a complainer and a disgruntled employee. It has been years since my last audit and honestly I do not even think my CCM knows my name.
Same here ... totally under the radar - anon
[ In Reply To ..]I literally log in, do my hours and log out. I never speak to my CCM or have any contact with her at all. I'm an MME so I don't have to worry about audits but with this company, I think to be on the radar or to have any unnecessary contact with anyone outside of yourself is just inviting trouble. I do my shift, log off and totally keep to myself.
Like you, I don't even think my CCM knows my name and I like it that way.
Fly - SayWhat?
[ In Reply To ..]It's been years since your last audit? We were told in my region that you get audited every month and I did until I resigned. Maybe it depends on the accounts you are on. They would even do "partial audits" and return those results to me with a score although I was told by QA that they didn't count but were "just for my information."
Part of the job - Nobody
[ In Reply To ..]That's okay. It comes to everyone who works for this company eventually. I will be starting back to school soon and I have been applying for many other jobs so I still have hope.
Been there, done that - fadingstar
[ In Reply To ..]A few months ago I was spoken to about my inactive time and my response was that I didn't see why it was such an issue if my production numbers were high and my audits were good. The next month instead of the 8-10 reports I usually get audited, it was over 16! Of course I failed that month. It's always something. They had to prove a point.
Same here, head down, mouth shut, - duck and cover, bob and weave.
[ In Reply To ..]I figure if if I do start running out of work I will just log on and use the time on their clock to look for other jobs.
I was worried I was becoming mentally ill - no name
[ In Reply To ..]because I was such a hermit and never spoke to CCM. I am glad to know it was just Mmmmmmmmodal normal behavior :)
Dang that makes me feel normal - I hate this
[ In Reply To ..]Never worked for a company that was sooo impersonal..My CCM never says anything on the things I advise her of..Like an email saying tomorrow Im gonna have a screwed up schedule cause my kid is sick and has to be at the doctor..She doesnt acknowledge it so I do whatever I want...As for complaining, why bother...You guys are right who needs a targer..Been here about 2 years and have never been audited other then passing the 98% after my original training..
Me too! - soapie12
[ In Reply To ..]Boy, I know what you mean. My CCM contacts me personally only when I've done something wrong which means I have had little to no contact from her in about 2 years myself. I just assume that she has already figured out that, if I don't clock in at my scheduled start time, I have no work as I don't clock on until there is work to do and I clock out as soon as possible when the work runs out so I don't mess up my line count. If it weren't for the DQS7 training, I think she wouldn't even know who I was! I like it that way though. Oh, and don't think for a minute that you're not being audited. They don't always tell you when they're doing the audit or even if you passed one, they just tell you when you fail. That's been my experience at least. I can even tell when they're shadowing me cuz my comp slows way way down and a few other tell-tale signs that I'm not going to mention here in case a suit is reading.
Same here - SameoldSameold
[ In Reply To ..]I like the way you think! LOL. :-)

After 2 years of this, we came to mutual termination one month ago.

Hated to lose a client, but my days are now peaceful again. Some ...

This doctor plain as day said "circus senilis." I could find no such thing. I know about arcus senilis, but I thought who am I to say he doesn't know what he is talking about? So I looked up the word "circus." The last meaning said "a ring or circlet", so I put what he said. Either he is right or someone will get a good laugh, and I may get a black mark. What do you think? Should I have just put arcus senilis and assume he made a mistake? It was jus ...

I also know from posts over the years that MQ has some huge issues, and I don't see that getting any better. I got an e-m ...
