And you have yet to take responsibility

for backing TranSCAM. I am far from bitter. I have a great job which I love. Because I love this profession so much, I am not going to lead others down the primrose path with nonsense like TranSCAM. How about taking some responsibility?

MT responsibility versus Supervisor's responsibility
I was hired in to work on an account and have met my 12,000 lines per pay period well before my 3 month deadline,however, I am being hounded daily by my supervisor. My supervisor is a male and is very intimidating. He is constantly emailing me saying I am not doing enough and I am lagging behind and If I could just do a little bit more each day because he do not want to mess up with this account.
My question is if I am doing 12,000 per pay and the account is still lagging behind, is it not the responsibility of the supervisor to hire someone else on this account and am I responsible in some way for not producing more?
Thanks,
Because I know it is my responsibility to help out as well. sm
People still get sick on weekends. If doctors and nurses took your attitude, I guess the hospitals would just shut their doors on the weekends and sick people can just wait until Monday. I grew up in the medical field, so I realize that working weekends is just part of the deal. Working at home, it is not such a big deal anyway. It is not like the old days, getting up and putting on the heels and hose and commuting across town. And I get a weekend differential, so that helps a little bit.
I hope you are working for a clinic and not shuffling the burden of the weekend work solely to your coworkers. That just seems selfish, IMO.
TAT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY..sm
Although we usually hear about it when the poop is about to hit the fan. TAT is pretty much out of our hands...we don't distribute the work... all we can do is transcribe it in a timely manner once we receive the job. It's THEIR show, baby, although everyone does try to pass the buck to the MTs.
What I can't believe is the lack of responsibility smg
people take for their jobs, hours and work in general. I work with people who apparently are their sole mode of transportation for their family and they just breeze in and out at will after taking grandpa, grandma, wife, children to all of their assorted appointments. Then, THEY have their own personal appointments or medical problems that must be worked around. The only thing they seem to be on time for is their paycheck.
Then you definitely have a responsibility to report
these incidents. That is theft. They are stealing money from your company by getting paid for hours not worked. I don't think I would even grant them the courtesy of telling them that you're reporting them. They obvioulsy know what they are doing is wrong, not to mention illegal, and they don't seem to care. They've picked you as a patsy and you need to stand up for yourself. Forward the next IM you get from them. I would not forward your supervisor any of the previous ones, but keep them just in case. Your supervisor may not be too happy with you for not saying something sooner. If you continue to let them do this, you're just as guilty as them.
It is not the MTs responsibility to FIND sm
the work. Either the owner or a supervisor should be informing the MT that there are other accts to type and facilitate typing on those accounts.
Not my responsibility to develop their country
It stands to reason if they built their own hospitals, which they could easily staff with all the Indian ESL dictators we currently struggle with (while we hand them the moneymaking easy ones on a silver platter), they then could do their own transcription for their own healthcare providers. Why the heck won't big business invest in building them some of their own hospitals? Because this is about profit, NOT altrusim for our fellow man!
Maybe you're going to retire in a couple of years, so you don't really care about the future of this industry. But if not, when you lose your current job to outsourcing, will you still deny there's a problem? Or will you take another job for less pay, again and again, until the industry completely leaves this country - then will you realize there's a problem? When you are forced out of this industry, and find the competition for other types of work is harder than it used to be, will you see a problem then?
Its not just this industry being outsourced. I grew up in Michigan! Its turning into a ghost state due to loss of jobs to outsourcing. That's an example of an entire state being affected, and its only one of many in the rust belt. But I guess you don't know anybody there, so you'd rather sympathize with someone halfway across the world. It is not ok to undevelop our country in order to develop others. Maybe when our homeless shelters overflow and our streets are full of beggars, and every undeveloped company has cable TV and McDonalds on every corner, we'll quit being in denial at what we are allowing to happen under our very noses. But by then it'll be too late for us to reverse this trend of trying to raise the rest of the world's standards at the expense of our own.
My state has it writtin in their code whose responsibility it is. It is the employer.
I just refused to do it as an employee. After the second year and my written explanation of why I did not do it (being as the employer refused), they sent me back a refund of late fees and told me that they had found many employees in Virginia with the employer I am speaking of and would be going after the company in question. How long it takes them is another story. I hope they get them because they deserve it.
It might not be the law in every state, but it is in mine. It is clear and on their books. I provided the company with that law and they paid no attention.
A good employer will follow the law and have state tax laws in place. I have never had a problem with any other employer from that state, just them.
Doesn't matter. That's no excuse for their lack of responsibility
for something so important. One or more states will get them sooner or later and it will bite THEM right where they need for it to bite. They know the law and it is their choice not to do the proper thing and because it is, they will have to pay at some point.
Sweet Pete Bayou MT. Part of your responsibility as an MT
is to look up unfamiliar terminology, doctor's names, etc. and MAKE A NOTE OF IT, so you don't have to look it up again. All I can say is good luck with your career as an MT.
I am not familiar with this company, but your post showed so much ownership and responsibility, so v

Agree..with IC status, equip. is your responsibility; employee status - you should SM
not have to pay out-of-pocket for use of their equipment. I would never work employee status for a company who required me to purchase or lease their equipment. The only thing I would find acceptable is to have a small security deposit taken out of paycheck when starting with a company. This will protect the company from those few who might abuse the equipment.
