Doomsday - i.e., last day of the week when QA nails you to get your score under 99% - eb

Posted: Jan 09, 2015

I worked my you-know-what off all week to try to get into a higher tier this week. Was doing great, two reviews both 100%. Then Qwhatever nailed me this morning with a post audit. ONE WORD (that doesn't change the report AT ALL!) is going to cost me $241!

I honestly believe they are doing this on purpose - keep us going all week so we will work harder to stay in the higher tiers, then at the last minute snatch it away from us when it's too late to do anything different.

Nuance acts like the bonus is just extra shopping money for us. "If I don't get that bonus, I guess I won't be able to get those Gucci shoes I had my eye on!" It's not! This is my grocery money they are messing with! This is my heating bill! This is gas money to take my kids to school!

This is so demoralizing. Without the bonus, I'm basically making minimum wage now at a job that I've done for 20-plus years and used to love and be successful at.

Seems to be the case, doesn't it? Friday seems extra busy in the QC department. And I am right there with you. 20+ years, loyalty, dedication, and I'm at minimum wage....mostly. I actually have gone below due to holidays (see below regarding MUP). $241 is a HUGE amount!!!

I feel worthless and stupid every time I see FIESA. I used to look forward to Fridays. Now I know it's like facing the guillotine.

Whoever invented this scheme deserves to be strung up by their most - valuable body part.

to have a positive outlook about this new pay plan. I will admit when I'm wrong and boy was I wrong about this one. If I had somewhere else to go, I'd go today, not 2 weeks from now, but TODAY!

I'd like to know how this can be even remotely - legal! Give Labor Board a call?

Is it CHAD score - or CHADS score? On search I find CHAD, CHADS, and CHADS2.

Pt has thinning of the Finger nails and curved inward. Dictator stating family history of s/l "crust." The only thing I can find is "Koilonychia."

I just got through with my 8 hours for the day. I could have worked longer, there was work left and my company does not mind. We are behind on discharge summaries but I am blowing steam out of my ears. I am old enough to quit this job and have I ever been thinking about it today. I have had people dicating for doctors who are ESLs themselves!! I was told not to change their verbs and such, leave as is. That grates on my last nerve.

To all you wonderful MTs working and slaving your lives away, Happy MT Week. I appreciate you.

I appreciate knowing that I am not alone in this struggle. It is because of all of you, and only you MTs on this board that I manage to stay in this game.

Good grief. I did not change the way I edit. It so depends on how many commas they think you should have. Yes, I made an unusual (for me) mistake last week, but the rest of passing an audit is dumb luck of whether you get a realistic auditor or Ms English wannabe. Everybody must be under pressure because of the cesspool as I see a lot of mistakes when I look up past reports to help with these mush mouths and accents. The time czar wants schedule changes, but I see no problems with turna ...

I guess I am screwed. In all my years I have never had this many "Major Errors". Guess I have just been stupid my whole life and didn't know it. Score below 98 and since they have been monitoring me quite a lot the last week or so I imagine they are done with me for the quarter. Some of these errors are errors, but REALLY? If/of is kind of a typo in my book. SR had it one way and I did fail to catch it, but really had no change in context. How can they ex ...

I am CONTINUALLY getting flack about APGAR. If I put Apgar, I get it back corrected as APGAR. If I put APGAR, I get it back corrected as Apgar. If I put Apgar's, comes back Apgars. If I put Apgar's it comes back Apgars... I have my Dorland's dictionary, and it has Apgar, A capitalized, pgar lower case, but in my abbreviation guide it's all caps (APGAR). Does anyone have anything different OR perhaps a solution? ...

What is the QA score requirement? I thought it was 99%. I had three audits today that scored 99.75% and was told that if I proofread the jobs better before I sent them I would catch these small mistakes (one per job). Are we supposed to get 100% now? Just curious. TIA! ...

My FIESA scores are VERY low this quarter with a lot of points being taken off for errors. Has anyone been in a situation where at the end of the quarter they had a score that was below 98% and what happened? Is that instant termination? This is astonishing to me as I will be here for 4 years and never have had low scores ever and have never been in this predicament before. Thank you for any replies. ...

I had 0.5 points deducted on a report for invalid blanks, no other errors, yet my score in FIESA was 98.08%. Does anyone know how these scores are calculated? Seems to me that 100-0.5=99.5. So, either my math is really bad or FIESA is hosing us! I emailed my TSM about is and as usual got no response. Thanks! ...

No matter how hard I try these days I cannot get my accuracy back to what it has been for years. I always maintained 99% or higher, mostly always right at 100% but now I cannot even get to 98% with everyone they keep marking me off for. It has gotten ridiculous. I have never ever had this many reports audited and marked for not having an s at the end of a word. So disheartening when I feel I am doing so good. Been at this for a very long time and never had anything like t ...
