What IS cherrypicking?
And how does it differ from slight "editing" to make a sentence sound better (how did some of these MD/DO get out of med school anyway??) But gosh, aren't we glad they did??!! 
cherrypicking
IF there are cherrypickers, then they ALWAYS find a way to cheat, no matter what the system. Maybe there isn't any cherrypicking going on at Axolotl, but that's even worse, because it means that 90% of the dictation is crap and there is no hope to ever make a decent line count.
well at least they don't allow cherrypicking
it gets the point across..
Cherrypicking
If you have looked at the history and see that people are cancelling out of the job, especially if it is a bad dictator, I would send the job # to my supervisor and tell her it has been cancelled out of. I have seen jobs where 4 and 5 people have cancelled it and thrown it back. You are right, it isn't fair, so unless you speak up about it, it will continue to happen.
Cherrypicking
Gee, WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT??? Done it repeatedly, and nothing has been done, thus, the frustration. You must either be the queen cherrypicker, herself, or management. And actually I think BWAHAHAHA sounds much more first-graderish than You will get yours.
Cherrypicking
It happens to me daily, and I keep complaining, but it keeps happening. Very frustrating. It's gotten to where I can predict when the report comes up whether or not it has been dumped by someone i.e. no demographics/difficult patient name to figure out, wrong facility, audio bad, or difficult physician. I thought that was not allowed and wish someone were paying attention. It typically is ALWAYS the same 2 or 3 MTs, and I wish there were a way they could set them up so that they could not cancel out of a job and if they did, they got it back without every time. That's the only way to learn and at the same time it gets old when you're left with the crap while others move on to the more money-making reports. Arrg!
Cherrypicking
AMEN and thank you. I have been stewing too much to even respond to the candy comment. Obviously someone in management who doesn't have to deal with it on a daily basis. And you are so right about it affecting my paycheck. Otherwise, I could care less what anybody else is doing, but how dare anybody think they are above doing the miserable dictations and throwing them back for somebody else to do.
no, this would be cherrypicking....snm
but you can delete it, type it straight and get paid the VR cpl rate.
Cherrypicking on VA account?..sm
I've heard of MTs stating that they cannot do OP reports, but can anyone think of why an MT would NEVER do a C&P report on a VA account? This particular MT only types PN, H&P's, and DS. Is this the supervisor favoring this person and routing only these worktypes her way or is this person cherrypicking which reports they will type? I get several C&P's a day, and they do kill productivity as they are usually 15+ minutes of dictation to do, but I didn't think we had a choice on a VA account....
condoned cherrypicking
I thought ignoring cherry pickers was bad until my hospital actually incorporated it. I started there and was amazed at the poor quality and blanks left in easy dictations. I was earning good - not great - money. They changed it so that favored workers have access to the higher paying work types before everyone else. Now some workers are making good money because management has greased the skids for them. I have dropped in salary and there is no way to return to former pay. I guess lethargy and lack of ambition sometimes pay off. Work on befriending the scheduler rather than working on your skills. Humbug.
Yes, I really agree with the cherrypicking!
But if you talk to the superviser they will asign you some of the better work to break up the harder work.
This post has cherrypicking all over it.
Don't forget the cherrypicking
that is rampant and never addressed. We might as well ALL throw jobs back that we don't want to do because they kill our line count. Here's a news flash, especially for P.S., who is one of the biggest cherry pickers there is, anybody can see what you're doing when they click history. This is also being documented and there are reports printed every so often that shows every person who cancelled a job. You people sicken me. Do you think you are more special than the rest of us and can just throw back the junk for us to do? Well enjoy it while it lasts. If it were up to me, your days would be filled with assigned jobs by everybody you throw back. Once there is enough documentation, you will get yours.
cherrypicking/history
There is no way to look up another person's history to my knowledge. What you can do and what anybody can do when you are in a report is do Alt-G, then click the button that says history. This will show you every person who touched that job. Obviously if that information were so confidential, the big button saying history would not be there for anybody and everybody to click. I think the only people who would be disturbed that others are looking at the history are the cherrypickers.
love cherries but not cherrypicking
routing the best jobs to your buddies
If QA types they have nothing to gain by cherrypicking
This is true for any company. I used to type as well as do QA. I never skipped -bad- jobs because they would end up in QA anyway because the other MTs couldn't do them. Believe me, QA does not love a bunch of reports in QA because it clogs up the system. So I did them no matter how hard they were. I have never worked for Transtech but speaking from experience I can't imagine why a QA at any company would cherrypick jobs only to be stuck with them later in QA.
If the work is not assigned to you, then someone is cherrypicking...nm

Team Lead Help with Cherrypicking
If you are a team lead for the Web, can you tell us who else can we tell if our STM doesn't seem to want to do anything about it when you have complained? What other option do we have?
Cherrypicking is when you work from a pool of jobs and being able to reject the worst jobs to those

No. TransTech is out of Texas TTS is in New Hampshire. TransTech

Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
TransTech
TransTech has a job posting on the job board. I have talked with the person who hires (Debbie). She is really a nice lady. They have a M-F schedule listed.
TRANSTECH
Does anyone have any information good or bad on TransTech Medical Solutions?
TIA 
TransTech
I've been with them just about 2 years, best move I ever made. The best advice I can give is to give them a call and talk to them. If they are as good for you as they are for me, you'll be a happy camper. Have never ran out of work, pay is decent and DD on time, they often offer VERY good, easy to reach incentives too. Happy MTing!
TransTech
Be very careful. The owner is a very moody person. I only lasted 2 days.
TRANSTECH
Transtech is a very good place to work. The "owner" is NOT moody. The people are the finest in the industry. They value their MTs. The are awesome to work with and for.

TransTech
I have been with Transtech for 1-1/2 years and it works great for me. I have 20+ years in this line of work and TT is the best company I have ever worked for (and I have worked for a couple of them). I have direct deposit and my pay has always been on time and accurate. I always have work (an abundance of it!!). TT is a fast growing company, adding new accounts, and very busy. They have a very good QA team who are very helpful. They hire USA transcriptionists only - NO offshoring. TT has an ad on the Job Seeker's Board and you can check out some of the things they offer. Also, here is the Contact Us link from their website: http://www.transtechmedical.com/ContactUs.html Good luck in your job search.
TransTech
They have a lot of ads for MTs, are they growing, or difficult to work for, hard to keep MTs. What is the story?
transtech
Yes, I was offered even more money from a smaller company, not national.
TransTech
Anyone have any info on TransTech. I have an interview today.

Transtech
Does Transtech pay for spaces, headers, footers, etc.
TransTech
Give Transtech a try. I worked for MQ about 9 years ago only because they bought out a company I worked for. I only stayed with MQ a very short time after the buy-out. I now work for TransTech and they are a great company. You can contact them through their website at:

If Transtech pays 10 cpl for their difficult ESL account, does anyone know what the starting pay for the other accounts would be? TIA.
TransTech - sm
Do you know if they have radiology accounts? TIA
TransTech
I have checked the archives regarding this company but there is nothing up-to-date on there. I would like to know how this company is to work for, how their platform is, and overall if it is a good company to work for. Do they pay for spaces? What is their average starting cpl? TIA
transtech
i applied for them. i have five years experience and work at home. they told me i did not have enough experience
TransTech
I have been with TT for over 1-1/2 years and love it. Great bosses, good pay (always on time), good benefits, and I have always had work. It works for me !!

Poster below said mucho ESLs.
TransTech
TransTech Medical Solutions (in Texas) does not offshore. It is a US company with US transcriptionists.
Transtech
Ask yourself this, what is wrong with companies who advertise constantly, are people always leaving or do they hire too many people? You can usually answer your own question.
TransTech
You'll hear positives and negatives on any company depending on individual expectations and experiences. As for myself, TT is about as close to a perfect company as one can find these days. Can't speak about insurance costs, I don't have the insurance. I've posted before about my experience with TT and don't want to bother doing it again. About all I can tell you is nothing ventured, nothing gained.
TransTech
The reason I said I didn't want to post my experience with TT again is I am totally disgusted with people like the poster above who says, baby, baby, sounds like management again. What?! Is there some law these days that says an MT can't be happy with the company he/she works for? So here goes.....First and foremost, I wouldn't know management if they jumped up and bit me in the butt. Don't know who owns the company, don't care. Don't know how many employees they have, don't care. Don't know what their accounts are other than those that directly affect me, don't care. Now from the above, you can conclude that I rarely hear from management unless I have a problem, then they respond promptly. The work is just that...it's work; there's good and there's not so good but it's there and I work as much as I want. The pay may not be the absolute best but it's fair and I average $25-$30/hour so no complaints there. The pay is always correct and direct deposited on time. Tech support is the best I've ever worked with. The platform is easy to learn and easy to use, no going between multiple screens or otherwise wasting time.
Now, Baby, Baby (above poster) if you have management questions, you should probably consider addressing them to TT management. If you have questions from an MTs point of view, you can ask me.
