schedule change = more work - Kitty Lady

Posted: Mar 20, 2013

It has been the two weeks since the supervisor said that work flow would change with reorganization of people/accounts. Still waiting. Up at 4:00 a.m. and 3 jobs since 5:00 a.m. Where is the more work promised two weeks ago?? Did not believe it then so not surprised it did not amount to anything. Supervisior says that there is low work in the early morning hours. I have worked this shift for years and there has always been work in the early morning before July 2012 when all this garbage started.

I agree. There is only work on 2nd shift now - probably will have to change.

I think with the time zone changes for Pakistan and India, and where ever else the work goes, that is the only time not covered (2nd shift).

Not in my region - I run out about 8 pm

Aren't they about 12 hours different from us? It seems - sm

like if things were being handled properly in both countries, we'd all have work in our daytime hours since we're 12 hours apart. Wonder if they're making them work overnight too... I wouldn't be surprised.

As far as I understand it... - they all work at the same time

If you are online at 9:15 CT you will notice the system slow down to almost a complete halt for about 20 minutes. This is because they have all just entered the building and are all signing on. In India it is 7:45 a.m. This drives me completely bonkers everynight. It is not as noticeable if you are just in a job typing, but if you are uploading, downloading, trying to do research or anything else you might as well give up for 20 minutes.

There isn't enough work for 2nd shift either. - North

There's barely any work all weekend too. My days include both Saturday and Sunday too.

Ditto, North - I am in the same group

I have just started working for Medquist two weeks ago..I am struggling with working a noon to 6 shift Sun-Thurs..I used to work M-F 5 am to 11 am with my other company until they closed down. I am considered part-time (min of 24 hrs) but I work 30. Do you think they will be p...ed if I were to ask for a day off in the middle? I am already always asking for a couple hours off here and there for PT and and doctor's appts for my children. ...

If your "boss" makes a suggestion that since you run out of work a lot and suggests maybe you need to move to a different shift but OBVIOUSLY that won't make a difference what is their next step? I've always made way over their line requirements and audit requirements. There just doesn't happen to be any work lately during my shift, or at least not much. ...

I just feel like the process is not moving fast enough and I asked for this schedule change almost a month ago. She sent over the paperwork and hasn't said anything else since. Not even when I sent an email asking her if she's considered me. There is no communication whatsoever. I don't understand it. Is there a way I can get her to reply to me without having to press her every week to see if she's approved my new schedule? ...

or get moved to another BOB/TSM email. Im so mad right now. Why all of the sudden is there no work for my shift? She needs someone from 4p to 1a? Seriously? Today for the first time is 2 weeks I have plenty of work for my entire shift, on my main, regular, familiar accounts. UGH!!!! Just a little venting to those who feel me as my husband is tired of hearing it! LOL! ...

If I deny 2 times to be transferred to a different group/different schedule, then they take that as a resignation. Fancy way of firing you without firing you? I have a life with a young family, I cannot work whenever they want me to. Oohh, frustrated. ...

try to get your old schedule back? My change was "forced" on me and I was wondering with the new grouping and such, if I should try to get my schedule back. It was kind of a bizzare change in that I already worked one weekend day and was told I needed to work the other weekend day instead, so now I dont even have 2 days off in a row...that could be remedied I am told, but switching my other day offf....that was optional and for now I said no. ...

Woke up this a.m. to an *URGENT* message from the POD Mistress telling our POD that we need to look at our schedules and make changes to suit her needs. Then, ironic as it is, she lists the accounts that have gaps in them and specific times for those specific accounts. Is she guaranteeing work on those accounts at those times?! Haha! I was born at night...but it wasn't last night! Nice, try PODM!! We are in a POD. I would love to get my regular acco ...

So had work for 2 days out of the week with no problems and then all of a sudden an email appears that help is needed for the weekend and also wanting people to change their schedules to the weekend. All of a sudden, no jobs available appear. Apparently, work is just cut off until people start volunteering to change their schedule or volunteering to cover hours on the weekend and when some poor schmoe changes their schedule or volunteers, all of a sudden we have work again. Tot ...

Hi all ~ I am curious how frequently QA is performed at your hospital. We had been on a 2-reports-reviewed-quarterly schedule, but it seems QA is being pushed further and further onto the back burner because we've been so busy. My boss would like for me to get a feel for what others are doing out there. I've worked at some hospitals that didn't do QA, ever, so I didn't have anything I could tell her. ...

Apr 03, 2015

How about instead of begging or demanding OT you make everyone work the schedule they are supposed to work? How about you schedule the PODs/accounts properly? Well that would all be too logical, which we all know MM doesn't have common sense to be logical. ...

Can anyone answer a question about this new procedure? I want to swap a shift for next week but having trouble understanding this new process. I guess if you want to work a different shift on a particular day, you would first need to post yours and make sure someone takes it before you claim another as you might end up working both - correct? It is not really swapping you have to give yours up and then hope there is one you can pick up. I am not really sure why we di ...

So, our CCM sent out an e-mail that she has received a directive that if we are not working our exact schedule, we are going to receive an oral warning and then be performance managed. If there is no work, we have to put in a Q-Care ticket or we will be performance managed. Remember when we first were pitched the idea of working at home? One of the points was that we could be flexible in our schedule. Now we are just slave wages on an assembly line with no deviation in schedule. Just anot ...
