URGENT CRITICAL BACKLOG!!! - Four messages

Posted: Sep 26, 2010

So I check MQ Central as usual before starting my shift this morning. Found 4 messages stating critical backlog with weekend incentive. I sign on. No jobs. I'm tier 3. Never saw NO JOBS first thing on my regular Sunday shifts. WHAT THE ____? I read on to get a slap on the wrist from my RTL. Why didn't I send a report to QA that had multiple blanks. I tried to be objective, but it was for the usual reasons I send multiple-blank reports back to the client. Think of all the reasons you can, and you just about have my reasons for that one report. (ESL, background noise, eating lunch, don't want to be financially penalized for something not my fault, the list goes on). These straws are breaking this camel's back. Things that make you go Hmmm.

perhaps MTs wised up that incentives are a joke - NJA Queen

Yeah, I got some of those "critical" emails too. It seems to me that MTs have figured out that these incentives are really and truly for the CCM to make their bonus and not for the MT to make any decent money. That is what the fabulous delete button is for. Plus most of the time during these incentive weekends there is more NJA than not, only a few accounts actually have work. After dealing with NJA for so long I just don't have it in me to work any extra now that there is work.

NJA takes the wind out of my sails and makes me unusually nervous, and way too often. Getting dinged by QA makes me feel incompetent, which also decreases my drive to work. Most every change MQ has made in the past 8 years I've been with them has taken me down a notch, and there isn't anything to build me back up. My energy to work is being whittled down to nothing. They cry wolf with their "critical backlog" but when a real backlog happens, we'll all just think they're crying wolf again. I don't like what this company is doing to me.

From what I was told you only send reports to QA that you think they can correct. I don't have any that I think QA can do any better on than I did so reports are sent on to client.

Isn't it "strange" how it goes from NJA to "critical backlog" in nothing flat? SA5 here... Must be the weekend. Here's a laugh for you though: ASR report (of course) - social history: "he lives with his wife who is alive"... Good thing huh! LOL! ...

Don't know what's going on, but I have had an abundance of my primary yesterday and today. Usually only very few reports and then being jumped around to different accounts during the day, with frequent periods of NJA. Now all the sudden we get an E-mail because we have a "critical backlog." Is India on strike or something? Actually, my account supposedly has a clause in that says they will not allow work to go to India. I don't get it. I'm ...

The dictator said "... will get cardiac enzymes and will get a carotid Doppler in the morning...", or something similar, I have deleted the report. I left out the second will. This is not a verbatim account. Critical error for omitted dictation pertains to lab results, normal values, etc. I didn't think the word will meets that criteria. I also had Tylenol No. 3 changed to Tylenol #3. The drug lists still show it as No. 3. ...

I went to Urgent Care with my fiance last week as he was not feeling well. They got us right in. A medical assistant took his vitals immediately. The doctor was in within 5 minutes. (There was only one person in the waiting room ahead of us and, incidentally, no one yet after us.) Everyone was very nice, personable, and efficient. The doctor started asking my fiance questions about his health, as he sat in front of a laptop computer and entered all the information h ...

We've been having late work for 4 days out of every week for awhile now with our TSM calling for OT constantly. The funny thing is, all the accounts that I'm familiar with that are late are ones that do not send overseas (as an MME, I know because I QA the ILPs). Do you think that these hospitals refuse to send overseas and that MModal is going to say that the work was late because of lack of qualified US MTs, and that they should consider sending offshore? ...

Has anyone at the Q been getting hit by "critical errors" on crazy stuff that has never been an issue BEFORE? All of the sudden, after no feedback for about a month, no audits, nada, zilch, I got my audit and was given critical feedback for not capitilizing a department! (recovery room, radiology suite, cardiac cath lab...) AND, in a verbatim report, with a client profile that says specifically, DO NOT ADD A HEADING IF ONE IS NOT DICTATED, for NOT adding a heading! This makes me nuts ...

GD SOB! Have been passing all the audits with flying colors (99% or better), even the audit earlier this week. but then I got an email today of a report with critical errors. Real bad doctor who mumbles and changes his mind in midsentence but doesn't say 'scratch that' or 'correction' or anything like that. sheesh. so do they automatically put you on disciplinary action or cut your pay for one bad report? or do i hope that on my next ...

I'm supposed to provide feedback. Okay, fine, here it is: It was a typo. I sure learned a lot from your snarky auto message. Why do you have to keep making people feel bad for making a freaking typing error? Whoever is running the show at Nuance really needs to seek help. All you (they) can do is cut our wages and find fault with our work? It must be stupendously reassuring to be you and be so perfect. ...
