The Mentoring Program - Coco


Posted: Oct 03, 2014

Happy TGIF, Everyone!

After receiving my second corrective action last week, it was strongly recommended by my HDSM that I sign up for the MP with my PC....and she even went so far as to threatened to submit a notation to HR if I didn't do the MP.

I've spoken with some of the members in my primary group who told me it was a waste of time and didn't make a difference in their performance.

I already knew this, which was why I wasn't gung ho about doing the MP. And after getting another failed audit this week with 99.5, I figured what would really be the point in doing the MP if I can't acheive the unrealistic score of 99.7?

For those of you who have done the MP, have you seen a difference in your performance and audit scores?

Have a great weekend! Smile

IMHO it's a waste of our time & their money. There's nothing - sm

they can tell you that we don't already know. Heck, we could probably teach them a few things since we actually work on this system all day every day & they don't. When's the last time your QC has ever actually done a report? But if they want to pay you to listen to "tips" you already know, then whatever.

mentoring program - MT

There was a Quality Coach who did go in and work in Fluency every day and she mentored her MTs appropriately. Unfortunately they got rid of the best Quality Coach they had back in April. The person who replaced her is a joke. She doesn't even answer email, never mind mentor! This is what this company wants....anyone who doesn't have a clue about anything.

Mentoring Programs
Apr 21, 2011

Hi.  I finished MT school at Oak Horizons in November/December of 2010.  I also did an intership for a company and after I finished they told me I needed to get a job in a small clinic so I would have someone working with me.  In my small town there is not any small clinics or any surrounding towns that I know of.  I wanted to ask all of you about any Mentoring Programs?  The only one I have looked into was AIM and some of the feed back I have read was good for the mento ...


Mentoring - This Sucks!
Apr 24, 2012

I guess we are all going to get mentored at one point or another as I just received an email to set me up for it.  I make over the lph and get all my required hours in each week so I don't see why I am being mentored at all.  Like I said, I guess we have no choice and will all be mentored sooner or later.

Mentoring From Boost
Sep 28, 2012

Well, it finally happened.  I got the e-mail from Boost saying I had been chosen to be mentored.  I don't understand.  I ALWAYS get my line count and more.  I always type my hours.  I have had some good numbers on the Boost reports, one 5, one 3.5, but I have also gotten two 1s, as I do not speed the report up during the report, and I don't use the arrow keys to go to the beginning of the paragraph and such.  Can someone please tell me how the Boost mentor ...

My Mentoring Phone Call Is Tomorrow
May 06, 2012

My mentoring phone call is tomorrow. Does everyone get a mentor as well? What do they talk about? I have a list of questions for her but they're mainly about complaints. I'm even going to ask if I can't do my job good enough, then they should do it themselves or even send it back to India. I want to know if this mentoring program is the first step in my being fired. I'm very concerned about my job and maybe I shouldn't ask these questions, but the way they treat us ...

The Dangers Of So-Called Free Mentoring Programs
Mar 07, 2010

Every year there are a few people who start free or for-charge mentoring programs. Stay away from them if they have you transcribing work that they are critiquing. Mentoring is advising, supporting, encouraging, but not having you do their transcription for them for free. Because of privacy issues, you also would be well advised not to send any of your transcription to a 3rd party for help. There are all sorts of red flags. Just be careful. Over the years many of these free programs have turned ...

New Incentive Program.....

I like how they try to make this seem great.  It's probably no better or worse than we were before with the monthly incentives.  When I got that email that said "line rate change" I really thought it was another pay cut. I tried to figure how much the increase would be.  I figured that the raise would give me 7 cents more per hour or about 56 cents a day? That can't be correct, although considering who we are dealing with.....maybe it is?  How do you figure exactl ...
