no primary - jrb
Posted: Jan 14, 2014
So now the newest thing is not to be assigned a primary and they think that is going to help our line count? How? Too much looking up CP's as there are an awful lot of them even for the same account, but different locations. This is just crazy.
No Primary - Of course,
[ In Reply To ..]they don't want to make anything easy for us. Just throw everything but the kitchen sink at us and make everyone work twice as hard as they should for half the pay.
Wasn't this tried before? - Cesspool, anybody?
[ In Reply To ..]Didn't they try this a couple of years ago? Put everybody in the cesspool and it was a free-for-all? All I remember was it was a colossal failure. Everybody working on unfamiliar accounts. Why are they going to try this again? Didn't they learn anything? Oops, I forgot, these are new execs, thinking their ideas will work where others' have failed, while we pay the price. Asking us, the worker bees is just too silly. We're not the ones with the fancy degrees in resource management, we just do the work.
were you actually told this - or going by posts below? nm

no primary/cesspool - jrb
[ In Reply To ..]No, this was an email sent to me saying no primary anymore. It starts" Since there are no longer any primary accounts"
has it started yet? - how is it?
[ In Reply To ..]I'm really worried. Are you just getting jobs from all over the place now?
No, the country has been divided into 2 regions now - anon
[ In Reply To ..]The "eastern" region and the "western" region. Which ever is your original region, you will now begin to see work come from ANY facility within that region. I am in the western region, so all my work comes from any of the many dozens of western accounts during my work day.
There are no more primary accounts, just primary "regions".
well how is it? - I know terrible but
[ In Reply To ..]is it something you can get a handle on or do you think it's going to be just impossible. Really worried. Thanks.
I'm the wrong person to ask ... apparently I'm not the "norm" - anon
[ In Reply To ..]I fall in the "earning decent money" category. I don't get the same 2 accounts all day long, get tough foreign dictators, have tons of ASR, and seem to have all the same kinds of obstacles everyone else has and still manage to earn $750 in a 40-hr work week with no OT. Apparently there are only a handful of us capable of earning more than minimum wage and who manage to type over 500 lines a day so I guess I'm in the minority. No problems AT ALL doing regional work.
Didn't even have regions.. - anon
[ In Reply To ..]When I left M*Modal I had over 20 'primary' facilities, with locations from New Hampshire to California. No regions at all.
I specifically asked about this... - poorhouse
[ In Reply To ..]when my hospital sold out to mm and I took the job there toward the end of 2013. I asked if my hospital would be my primary account, was told yes and once I was familiar with the platform they'd add a secondary and so forth. HAHAHAHA NOT. Since day 1, I /rarely/ get jobs from my hospital. My manager (?) told me my primary account was composed of a number of clients, including my old hospital. I don't even know how many clients I type for daily, definitely more than a dozen. Since day 1. On a side note, I was also told my schedule would be flexible, put in at least 39 hours a week. Then, I'm told to choose a set schedule of 5 days, including one weekend day.
For what it's worth, ASR put the F word in a report today that the dictator did not utter. I so wanted to just let it slide! I fixed it, though.
At any rate, I've been told so many directly contradictory things by this company it actually isn't even funny any more. And, like the rest of you, I'm figuring out how to get out.

Today is Sunday, I work in the South Region and I'm getting a hospital I never had before. I have had the same hospital for a very long time and used to never run out of work and now it is just about gone. On Sundays we always had overtime, especially when there is maintenance we would always get way behind. I'm so sad. I loved that hospital. I think everyone on here is right about them sending more and more work to India. It's happening, obviou ...

Post Audits On Primary And Secondary....
Mar 14, 2013
I know 2 other MTs who have noticed the same thing. We have not had a single post audit on our primary accounts but let us do 5 reports on our secondaries and we'll get audited on it. We presume they do that trying to "get you" to keep you from getting the bonus for QA. For example I worked on my secondary Monday - first time in 2 weeks, did 3 reports and 1 got post audited on 1. ...

Anyone At Synernet Getting To Work On Their Primary Account?

I was wondering if anyone is getting to work on their primary accounts at all?

I am lucky to break minimum line counts daily now, so I wondered, if I'm not getting ...

Whether you realize it or not, while you are playing this game, switching back and forth from VR and typing, logging off and logging on depending on the dictators, you are causing a decrease in my production.
