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,
Ask insider if her company is in position to take on MTs from other company who are familiar
:+
This rings familiar with another company...
called Proficient Transcription. The MTSO there charges for a foot pedal (you have to buy it from her directly, not on your own), and there are multiple complaints on the New MT board from people who never received their foot pedal from her either...weird. Could there be a connection?
What company pays 18 cpl? I'm familiar with most of the places out there and 18 cpl is unheard o

Ownership of Spheris
To my knowledge, Spheris is owned by Warburg and Soros, not Indians. Google Spheris and Soros, and you'll understand why things have gone south.
While I'm thinking that a change in ownership
is very possible, I don't think offshoring is a positive sign for a stable company. TAT is dictated by the account and even though on my account TAT is constantly out of TAT you can only let it slide for so long before the account starts screaming. We are probably getting more work because the hospital also has MTs on staff and some of them are off for the holidays. I do think it unrealistic for an account that gives you overflow to expect you to handle a significant amount of extra work and still keep in TAT.
Since he has some ownership in this national, I think that is all the poster meant. nm

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.
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?
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.
Oops, don't know why it showed
no message.
All set, my 13 year old showed me how
NM
At least YOU showed some class and maybe
reflect on how to treat valued employees. Good for you! Boo for your bosses.
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.
I used CS at a hospital, and the manager showed
me how it was possible to assign a wide range of values to different things you have to type. It was 5 years ago, but I was surprised at how specific the settings could be - much more detailed than just counting by the line. It could detect spaces and pay you much lower increments for that stroke if they wanted to, but still you might be technically paid something for each space! They can also use it to help the MTs, buy weighting certain dictators so you actually make more for the certain ones that everybody agreed were more difficult. Most services are not going to show their MTs how they set these things.
Katrina showed us a thing or two about how
animals are treated in THIS country, not to mention the people. (It was the government who PURPOSEFULLY cut funding to repair the levee...)
We are ALL paying much more now to fix the problem than would have been paid to properly maintain and prepare the area. AND new legislation is on the books to protect care for animals in hurricanes.
WHEN are we going to learn? PREVENTION is far less expensive than ANY punishment or fix?
because it showed 10 times the same mistake
in this post and ironically regarding 'MT, MT's, MTs and MTs', and blabbering how much MTs are taken advantage of....
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.
Excuse me, but nobody showed up for work, just excuses
To whoever said they were hired, and then no work. Nobody showed up for work. I hired Carol (for the 2nd time), sent her work assignments, and again I woke up with no work, just excuses why she could not work, again the second time. In fact, several Transcriptionist (the same ones over and over) keep answering the ad, and then never show up for work.
As for 26 surgeries, yes. Got the operative reports and scars to prove it.

Wouldn't be a hoot if all the employees showed

Faxed them resumes twice last year when their ad showed up. Never got a reply. nm

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.
Never mind, MQ tech support showed me how to activate mail. nm

Which company is this? I post here all the
time and would like to know if my company was the culprit. Thanks.
Post an ad = company doing bad. Don't post = company doing bad. If we
did not have something to complain about, what could we possibly do with all that spare time?????????
Why post this if you are not going to say the company name?
Have to post about this company now...
Hi all, I've been through the grind over the last few years like so many MTs trying to piece together IC work, getting a good job here and there only to be forced into VR with as much as 60% pay cuts, etc. etc., so I just wanted to say for a change, THANK YOU to the one company that has kept me afloat through all this misery. It's a small company that I've worked for over a year now part time (wish I could be full time, but there just aren't the accounts available). This company is AccuSTAT out of Wisconsin. The pay is above average, the working conditions are great, things are run neatly and sensibly, and it is a pure pleasure to work there, like it used to be at the great smaller MTSOs before 2000. I know, it sounds like I'm some kind of company official plugging this way, but I'm just a lowly MT who kind of stumbled into the job when I needed it the most. As many bad experiences as I've had over the past few years (and posted about here, too), I am just so grateful to them and thought I should say so.
If you have the chance to work for them, I have to put in my 2 dollars and say go for it. With all the pressures on smaller MTSOs today, though, how long can they keep operating in a way that's profitable for the MT as well as for them? It doesn't seem like a good climate these days for any honest company. It does seem like work is starting to trickle back to the States and I hope that continues in a big way (I've taken another job outside of MT to fill in the gaps, hence my name). I hope all the small (and large, if there are any) MTSOs who are such an asset to the industry can hold on until then.
We just never hear about these good companies enough because they seldom have to advertise for MTs, but I think they deserve a mention and some credit for what they do. I know I'll be there as long as they have any work for me. I do hope that some of the hospitals who are tired of poor quality of work and questionable billing practices will take a second look at companies like AccuSTAT that are have always been committed to high standards, and do such a good job of keeping MT morale so high -- always the best way to ensure excellent transcription, IMHO, though so often not even considered these days. OK, off my soapbox, I know I sound nerdy but sometimes you just have to say it out loud.
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.
Don't know company, but post seems complete to me. nm
She has EVERY RIGHT to post that she is happy with her company!!
You think you and the rest of the people who are all about negative negative negative are the only ones allowed to post...you aren't too sharp are ya?
They all post below, but not yet one of them will say what company they recruit for. What is sm
up with that? Does anyone wonder? LOL. I sure do.
If the company were more forthcoming, we would not have to post here.

This should have been under Cenla company post.
it's okay to post company name, per moderator.
nm
this is for post further down, yes company board,
'have you ever worked out of the home'...sorry for confusion.
Yes, so that those who didn't see the post on the Company board may see it on the
Main board. What's wrong with that? Isn't that ok to do?
SATISFIED MTs, Please post initials or name of your company here
If you are happy with your job, please post company name or initials here.
Dissatisfied MTs, post initials of company here
Let's take a poll
I know nothing about this company, but I just wanted to say just because she wouldn't post her na
means absolutely nothing. There are reasons why a person may not want to post his or her name about such a volatile issue. I was in the same boat a few months ago. I would have implicated someone else. Sorry, this may not make sense, but I'm just pointing out that she may have a valid reason.
Post on Main Board now about her company. nm
s
That may be but if companies can't post ads without company names,

Your post makes my point. If IC, company is NOT
x
I also could have written your post.. Does your company start with a .....
T...??? It just sounds way too familiar and I have cut back on working for them because I'm sick of getting the garage that they won't send to the Indians
I moved this post to the Company board. NM
I'm like to know the answer to her post also. I have worked for an MT company in NY state,
and while I lived in another state at that time, I received full benefits; Ic or employee status had no bearing on receiving benefits. If I were the original poster, I would check this company out very thoroughly. Something just doesn't sound right tax-wise.
