Does anyone actually read TSM daily updates? - Seriously

Posted: Mar 25, 2015

I get sometimes up to 6-8 emails from my various TSMs on a daily basis with their "status/OTAT reports" constantly asking up to make it a "great day" and really work hard to get reports moving in my various accounts. Does anyone seriously read these things? Do they think we AREN'T working as hard or as fast we plan to? Exactly what incentive is there to put in any more effort than the status quo? And in this current environment of low pay, slashed pay, etc, does anyone really give a rat's behind whether the accounts are backed up or not?!?!?

I don't... - Emails.

I don't work any faster...actually, since I feel unappreciated, I work slower.

I cannot stand to read those emails. I skim through for the info I am looking for and that is it.

I DON'T CARE.

The more than 10% to QC is what makes me care the least. Last shift I worked, I had horrible ESL after horrible ESL and had to send a few to QC because they are incomprehensible--how is that my fault.

Don't get me wrong, I turn out quality work, but I get difficult ESL dictators and I have no blank accounts.

By the way, why don't we see everyone's scores on a weekly scorecard any longer? I know get a separate email that has only my scores...with a copied, repeated explanation of my results.

If the voice is extremely garbled or impossible to understand for whatever reason, don't send in as blanks... send in as audio/voice quality. that is what our TSM instructed us to do.

Yes, unappreciated is the key word. Whereas they send emails thanking MTs for all we do and that our work is important to patient care, thanks, thanks, thanks for nothing is what they're really saying, since their pay is pittance. That said, I personally make more now with the new pay game. (That's because I previously was only making 7.5/3.75 before as opposed to some of you on this forum who apparently made more.) But I heard there's another new pay plan soon.? Haven't gotten informed on that yet, but heard from this forum. I guess they can't let anyone or least not a handful make beyond minimum wage.

I work for Transcend and there are intermittent times where I go 48 hours without getting a status update and then WHAM, I get the last 48 hours' worth, and there can be 15-20 status updates over those last 48 hours. One person told me it was my settings, but it's not, because I get them all other times and I get emails from others during the time when I don't get any from Transcend, and it's only from Transcend that this happens. Has it happened to anybody else.& ...

Can anyone explain what good backlog reports are or what purpose they serve. Its not like we can pick the hospitals that have the most reports, or we can work overtime to clear out the accounts, or we can jump on the system to clear something out if it is not our appointed work schedule. What good are they? New TSM is constantly sending these meaningless reports out, that I can't understand because of all the abbreviations, and they are just taking time away from my typing ...

Just had a weird thing happen to me. On Tuesdays they typically send out Microsoft updates which are usually to see if you have any kind of virus on your computer. Usually, this only takes a few minutes to configure my computer and this time, I thought it never would stop. Honestly, it was at least an hour to configure my computer. I think something is wrong. The only other thing I updated was Adobe Flash. Anyway, it was weird and scary. Thought I was not going to be able to do an ...

If so, what information do you log? I keep a log of Job ID, dictator name, wt, and character count per report. I'm wondering how much my logging time cuts into my productivity. Especially, recording the character count because I have to go into document properties and write that down. I do that because there is no way for the MT to check her line count herself and our team lead to give us our daily line counts. So I like to make sure everything jives, if ...
