The axe is falling on middle managers? - Will

Posted: Jan 08, 2015

I just read a rather crypic e-mail which indicates this is the case, though no clear reason was given as to why. It may be that at least some of the TSMs knew this was coming, which is why some of them have been so unpleasant lately.

soon QC/QA - will be our managers

I don't think most knew...Mine didn't and she was... - one of the good ones :( /nm

Was it a good-bye kind of note? - Uh-oh. sm

My TSM is also one of the good ones and she has sent her usual updates, nothing out of the ordinary. Hope she stays.

More info - please

Any more info as to what "middle managers" you might be referring to? I know our TL's have been rearranged (and now called POC, whatever the heck that means). There are so many changes going on, it makes you wonder who is doing all this shaking up of things and why!

TSMs have been let go - nm

It would stand to reason. Eliminate team leads, do away with alot of the mid - management bloat since there is

...ever declining use for MTs, there just has to be less need for people to supervise us, right? I mean does that not make sense? Hope mine is first to go...she has no conscience.

Anyone intentionally making someone's life miserable - should be first to go.

Life is hard enough as it is.

I wish they would fire the QA/QC - again I do not care

[ In Reply To ..]
Instead. There are way too many of them and two of each could be replaced by one old fashioned version who is highly skilled, well paid, and actually provides a service, instead of incentivized to cut our pay.

Many of them are next to go. My ex-TL said - QC are being replaced by India QC.

This should be fun NOT.

QC being replaced or QA? Two different entities - nm

QA/QC - Texas MT

[ In Reply To ..]
Why would you wish for someone to be fired? I don't understand. I hope that no one ever wishes that for you. Total insensitivity! Yes, I'm QC/QA. I'm not the bad guy. I am an MT first and always keep that in mind when doing my job. I don't want to take pay away from anyone! We're all in the same boat. Who knows if anyone else will get the ax? I hope you don't.

I just meant I would rather QC/QA ranks were thinned - than TSMs

[ In Reply To ..]
I do not want anyone fired, just if they have to fire someone I personally would rather not have my TSM fired when there are obviously way too many QA/QC people.

Being let go because fewer and fewer US MTs - to manage. A lot more work

moving to India.

I hope I don't lose my TSM - she is great - and the only good thing about working here n/m

I felt the same way, but sadly they've let my TSM go, too - DisheartenedMT

[ In Reply To ..]
I realized long ago that I was really lucky to have the TSM that I did. She worked hard for the company and she worked hard for US, her TEAM, which she always considered us even before the Nuance takeover. She ALWAYS had our backs, and when we began with the post-audit stuff she urged us to keep our heads up and backed us up with reversals, pushing hard and fighting right along with us. I actually imagine that has a lot to do with why she was one of the ones "eliminated" yesterday. She did her job, and she did it well ALL THE TIME, but she wasn't no candya$$ either, and I would put a stack of cash on it that that's why this amazing woman is no longer who I work for.

TSMs already let go - mom22

[ In Reply To ..]
I am just beginning to hear a trickling of it this morning. They dump all this on the TSM just to let them go? And yes, I'm also hearing the feeling is that those who stick up for the MT are the first.

Anyone whose TSM has already been let go want to give some initials?

Initials - sm

Mine was MR. She'd been with the company through several sales/takeovers. She stuck up for us all the time and I'm certain that's why she was fired. It's garbage and I hope karma kicks Nuance's ***.

AMEN sistah! - nm

Fired TSMs - mom22

[ In Reply To ..]
I believe we may have had a TSM in common, and if it's the same one, she was really very good to work with. Another one of my favorites I worked with are gone. Again, been with the former company a long time.

If karma comes knocking, I hope we all have some popcorn so we can watch it unfold!

Didn't they just cut TLs & dump their work on the TSMs? Now they ax the TSMs? NM - Ex-Nuancer

I personally know someone who works as a middle manager for Nuance, makes well over 50,000 and has had constant raises since being hired. From what she tells me she is very effective, but even the other middle managers who are not at all effective with huge make up costs and teams who fail audits constantly do not get terminated. Plus, they do not have to be MTs. They just sit in their home office and write rah rah emails to their team to keep them going and make sure they cove ...

I'm surprised to see how each week seems to bring new job postings on here for lower and lower wages, even for IC's, where some have posted effective line rates (once you figure in a minimum of 15% for withholding) of 2.5 to 6 cents per line. It's like there is a game of chicken going on. Employers keep lowering the bar on pay, and MTs keep migrating to the few jobs that still pay decently. Eventually something has to give - either there will be no one left doing the ...

Hello everyone. This is kind of a silly question but I was wondering, what do some of you do when you are working and you get sleepy ?? I find that this is a constant problem for me.

Apparently I have finally completely squished down the (fairly substantial) padding on my chair, with my even-more-substantial weight.... It's a good chair otherwise, and considering what we get paid these days, I am not interested in replacing it. So, who can make some suggestions for something to put between me and the seat? Height will not be an issue; my desk is high, and the chair is a highly-adjustable drafting stool. TIA. :) ...

Really look into your FIESA because I could not figure out why my score was falling over the last two weeks or so. I got to looking and it is not even me. I have been being charged with errors and graded on another person's mistake. I was very worried and could not figure out what was going on. I let my TSM know and I will spend hours now trying to get everything reversed. It is worth it though because we are graded on this not only by ourselves but also as a team through your TSM. It ...

Could someone explain the reason we went from working as ICs with our own accounts to MTSOs who pay half that? Was it the cost of EMR software?

Where did we go wrong? ...

If you monitor this board, then you surely have a modicum of an idea of how unhappy we MTs are with your so-called management. "Exciting News" doesn't cut it. FIESA (a.k.a. FIASCO) is only something to demoralize and demean us. The Link is a waste of time. MT Week and its games, etc., is meaningless. When are you going to do the right thing and take note of what we've been saying to you all along? When people just don't care any more, when they ...

If any TSMs, Regional Managers or executives are reading posts on this site, I don't know how you sleep at night! We, as MLS', know exactly what is going on, even though you think we are stupid. The only reason you have implemented the "Patient Safety Compensation Plan" is to pay us less so Nuance can make more money, it has nothing to do with patient safety, it is corporate greed so STOP all the lies!!!

Article from The Nation: http://www.thenation.com/blog/169712/middle-class-secretaries-pushed-minimum-wage-work "And the driving force behind the losses is just as troubling. Given that the ability to find a new job is almost nil in the miserable job market, workers are feeling trapped. (For example, the quit rate has hovered at a very low rate since the recovery began.) That gives employers huge leverage in pushing their employees to take on heavier loads without higher pay." Sound famil ...

I was just offered a position at SS a couple days ago, but my experience with the recruiter was less than inviting. She was rude and very impersonal. If I were a company, I would want the first impression to be a great one.

Anyone know how it is to work with managers, etc. or anything else about SS? ...
