Maybe their supervisors give them the good stuff on
Posted By: purpose. That goes on a lot and when you sm on 2009-02-19

complain to upper management or HR, you get ignored because the supervisor always covers herself with lies and/or using TAT as the excuse. Sit on that TAT and rotate.

They usually give you an appointment with your trainer once your stuff has arrived. nm

Yep, bad stuff is sometimes good
and good stuff is sometimes bad. A couple of times I've really wished for things that eventually came true and they were definitely NOT in my best interests in the long run. (Thinking of one guy in particular.) It's hard to be philosophical when you miss out on something you felt you wanted or needed, but time often proves this was the best thing. Wish the best for you.
Lots of stuff in the achives, nothing good.

Zylo gives the good stuff to their favorites. New employees
get the leftover junk. Worked for them for 6 months recently, loved it at first except I wasn't getting enough work. 1000 lines one day, 200 the next, 75 the next. Kept asking for more work but never got it. Fortunately I didn't quit my job with Medquist and still had that for backup. Finally left last November.
I think it's that services only get the overflow & the garbage anymore. All the good stuff is kep

Give me the good points on your MQ offices - sm
No flames! Give me the good points on your MQ office that you work for i.e. leave you alone, great platform, no schedule necessary, nice people, easy to learn, nice work, etc.
Thanks!
Can anyone give info on Sten-Tel? Good or bad? Thanks.
Merry Christmas all!
Can you give specifics? Are the benefits at least any good? nm

No, she needs to give me a good e-mail address
Applied twice for the job but with email address that bounces.
The only good thing about OSI is when you give them your notice that you are leaving!
Tested for WebMedX, could anybody give me the good, bad and the ugly on them. NM
Thank you.
Umm, MDI doesn't know who she is by her post so she isn't obligated to give a good exp.
I'm sure MDI doesn't appreciate the lies and people posting like they know something when they don't but I doubt they mind someone posting in their defense re: pure crap posts.
Good luck to you and please report back after you're working with them to give us

Yes, pay on time. We give a 2-week schedule. Accounts pretty good
Can anyone give me good or bad on Medical Records Corporation or Transcription Relief Services? nm

Supervisors
I heard the supervisors on the voice recognition side quit? So wouldn't you have had 2 different sets of supervisors by now?
MT Supervisors
Hello, could anyone tell me how you become aware of the supervisor positions? Do you just submit a resume to a particular company or simply wait for them to advertise the need for a supervisor at the company? Thank you very much for your help.
Two different OSi supervisors
One has been there a while and the other is new, one it is her own choice and the other it is not. I was right about the last one a couple months ago so mark my word. I'am not MT just someone who knows.
Supervisors usually better than that. Maybe they are in

Why do supervisors ask for more?
I work 37 hours a week which is full time. After the last upgrade I finally got my line count up to the minimum last pay period which is 10,200 lines a pay period. This week I am on my way to 12,000 lines a pay period.
I was notified by my supervisor that my editing hours are only 20 hours a week and that if I do not bring this up I will be asked to consider moving to part time status!
Also, corrective actions will be sent out if we do not produce the minimum on a daily basis. We have been out of work for a few hours every day for the past 3 weeks!
What? I am doing more than the minimum lines in my scheduled time frame but they want me to do more. I have to clock out for breaks but I have to work a schedule and make up the time I clock out. So, basically they want 300 lines an hour to maintain a PTO rate of $380 a pay period.
This is some kind of weird and I do not see why, if my line count is up, QA percentage is down, that they want more. They never did address the fact that we are low on work how is that going to factor into this problem.
P.S. I work for Spheris.
Supervisors
Do you have enough experience to find other work? If so, move on. The only way this will continue is if we let it. If benefits are an issue, I would work toward finding another job that pays bene's and move on. I'm not saying it's easy but it can be done.
why do supervisors ask for more
You have to work at the same place I do. I got exactly the same message. How can you get hours if there isn't any work. Too much OT and then nothing left for us who do have to work our hours.
Supervisors at MDI
I left MDI as soon as they announced the merger, but I had been there three years and was consistently treated with kindness and professionalism by everyone, the QA staff, my liaison, and the techs. I cannot recall one instance of ever being treated discoureously. On the contrary, the kindness and professionalism of the staff was one of the things that drew me to MDI.
Put it this way, the managers over the supervisors
are lucky to make that in some companies! That is way over the top, I highly doubt it.
MT company supervisors
I just started with a large MT company. (My first online job) I was set up by tech support and then let loose. I am self-reliant so I am working fine, but I never hear from my supervisor. I finally sent him an e-mail with questions that he said he would answer. It is two days later and I haven't heard anything.
I was just curious if this was typical for the industry?
Ms. Newbie
Anyone contact their supervisors yet
I have googled both Medware and SPI and this is the only place where it talks about Medware being bought out.
Still curious which supervisors are on the way out
.
Agree it is supervisors
I had an awful experience with Diskriter, after leaving my job, my start date was delayed twice, then when I started, I had the worst supervisor/QA who was insulting and picky to the point where she and another supervisor had me on the phone in tears in front of my son, they were so rude and nasty, demanding and threatening over mostly really non-major errors (style etc.). These were similar errors to previous reports from current employees I had noticed on completed reports. They told me to type 3 reports at a time and send to QA for feedback before I did more, but I would not get any feedback until hours later, just sat staring at my computer waiting for a response. Then the account I worked on was constantly out of work and employees were told to take mall days!! Who could shop when there was not work and you had to use PTO, if you had it?
I finally quit after 2 1/2 weeks and am working FT for another national and as an IC, off of QA and very happy. DR also shorted me 8 hours of pay on my final check and my supervisor refused to respond to any of my numerous emails. I finally had to contact the hospital HR department and they let me know I had not called in properly on the system my last night (probably because I was so upset from the constant bashing I received daily from DR). Even though DR knew I worked those hours and I had sent in both my work and my timesheet, they never did anything at all to rectify my pay shortage, or even respond to my emails. This was the worst experience I have ever had in my 15+ years in transcription. I suppose it is what account you are selected for, but from what I see posted on the seeker's board, it is probably the same one I worked on.
How the heck do you know what all the supervisors
xx
I have no problems with the supervisors at MDI,
however, I do not work there, so it would be hard for them to cause problems for me. 
No.. your tech and supervisors are on IM from India.
All I can say is.. BAD COMMUNICATION..
Supervisors never answer emails!
nm
none of the supervisors do that, nobody gives raises, if you did not get incentive

Does anyone just get so tired of supervisors harping
all the time about TAT and what the transcriptionists are doing wrong... E-mails all the time regarding what is wrong.. How the client hates this and hates that.. How everyone that is working on the account is having some problem when you have not received an e-mail previously regarding an issue.. No constructive comments, just threatening e-mails with an undertone if you don't do this write, we are going to lose the account and fire everyone.. You get kind of used to those but....
NOT ONE DARN E-MAIL PRAISING ANYONE FOR GOOD WORK.. Is that so hard to ask if you are doing a good job. Dear Lord I wish I were rich or my hubby was finally finished with school.
Talk to your supervisors and managers...
Do your supervisors and managers offer an open door policy for you to bring your frustrations and concerns? If they do (or don't) take those thoughts and bring it to them. If you haven't done so, that is the best place to start to resolve these frustrations. If they don't show any interest in what you have to say, then let them know you are dissatisfied with their replies and let them know you would like to proceed discussing your concerns with their supervisor. Hope it works out for you!
Management of supervisors is lacking
There is something wrong when an obvious nut case is a supervisor. What is a nut case? A person who lies.
I formally request that upper management across the board consider reviewing their supervisors by way of anonymous feedback from the MTs under them.
Scum rises to the top with the cream - regulation keeps the scum from staying in power. Could we please have some regulations from upper management as the supervisors I am on occasion dealing with show clean signs of not having leadership qualities - I am witness to grown women, grandmothers, professionals who are lying and playing games, and it is not my imagination.
And this should wake you up because favoritism is taking place and the criteria to be given the best work has nothing to do with an MTs' ability to perform.
Not addressing this will cost you in the end - as the time and energy one utilize when they decide to chose the low road is money lost. Morale suffers and just like a pyramid, your company will crumble. India, you say? Scum is rising to the top there as well. Comcast has just returned.
Has everyone in leadership sold out to The Man and The Money? This is the true sign of decline - When integrity is lacking, word of mouth will wipe you off the map - complacency and true lack of desire to do a good job is the collateral damage when you allow cheaters, liars and thieves to supervisor (lead) us.
If MTs could trust their team leader or the supervisors
enough to talk to them without getting fired, there would be no posts on here, but you cannot say 1 thing without getting into trouble or getting fired. These boards are only used for venting because we have no other place to go. Deb is a monster so don't even try to talk to her. Team leaders are arrogant and only there to collect a paycheck, not in it to help anyone but themselves. They think they have been elevated to the position of CEO.
Supervisors and team leaders are the same thing
What are you talking about? That is a matter of semantics.
That's like saying I am not a secretary... I am an administrative assistant.
MTSO managers, supervisors and recruiters.
Having been in this field way longer than I like to think, and having been in enough jobs over that time, I want to make a suggestion to the owners of MT businesses - It would be of great benefit to your business and the morale of your employees if there were performance reviews of supervisors, anonymously. If it appears that employees leave often, it is very likely due to poor management.
I should not have to say this but just because a person is in a supervisory position, it should not mean they are right for that job and/or above making mistakes, even if the mistake is the inability to relate in a professional manner to others. In this business, it is easier to find a new job than attempt to resolve issues such as this. Morale is so important to keep a team functioning and performing and since there is so little interaction with the public, MTs have to rely on feedback from their supervisors to gauge their performance. A bad supervisor can wreck havoc on an account.
So, here is some advice. If there is more than one employee who requires upper level assistance in dealing with a supervisor with a year, there is a good chance that particular supervisor is displaying some form of behavior that is negative, whether it be intimidation, showing favoritism, passive aggression, deciding how much money one MT as opposed to another makes by job allocation, rewarding OT to favorite MTs, condescending treatment, using forms of behavior to embarrass MTs, holding grudges and emotional abuse.
Now, I know the MTs are far from perfect but we are rewarded by that by eventually losing our jobs or making less money. Whereas a supervisor is on salary and can ruin a person's day or even work life by having a supervisor who has personality disorders which border on neurotic. (How is their family life???? Great gauge.)
I will look forward to seeing the responses. Finding a good fit in a job is one thing but everything can be perfect except for personality conflicts with a supervisor and if it happens often enough that it is idlely spoken about, the supervisor should be asked to receive additional training so to perform their duties in a fashion that leads to high performance MTs and low employment turn around.
Dealing with issues like this is a distraction that an MT should not be expected to do. It is your job as a business owner to provide us with management which is doing that and only that, managing the accounts and not trying to play God.
You have to wonder if the supervisors that dont care about no work are always
getting new MTs because they quit all the time.
They have a "front" office in Mass.. but your supervisors and QA are in India.
Your tech support is also based in India. You communicate with your supervisors via Yahoo IM. They are in India so when you have questions they are the ones answering your questions. Good luck with the communication. Also, remember your paycheck is penalized for errors. This would not be so bad if people sitting in India were not the ones QA-ing your work. That is where the real issue comes in. If I can hardly communicate with them, why would I want them in charge of my paycheck. I mean truly do you want them deciding what is proper English, I think NOT
go work for them and you will see - managers, supervisors all from India and IM you to death! nm

Open message to team leaders/supervisors: sm
When there is ZERO WORK available for us, and it is less than a month before Christmas and our paychecks are hundreds of dollars lower than they used to be, please don't email your team to tell us there's no work and then close it with HAPPY HUMP DAY!
YOU may be paid on salary and don't notice the slump, but it's KILLING us! Happy Hump Day is completely inappropriate!
