OMG that is hilarious, but so true!

I post positive about MQ all the time, but I'm not a recruiter, or even management. I'm just a lowly MT like the rest of ya! So, nope, your theory is wrong!

Some people won't be able to edit as fast as they type.  The CEO said that himself in a conference call when he said that high producers in typing WILL NOT be able to produce as much in editing as those who don't do as well in typing.  If a person is typing 350-400 lines per hour now they're taking a pay cut. In all the con calls they've had I haven't heard of anyone being able to produce 600 lines per hour in full editing.  If you're mediocre in typing you should be able to increase your overall line production per pay period, but even then unless you're able to increase your overal production by 40%, you're taking a pay cut.

If you don't normally type a high volume per hour, you will definitely increase your production in editing.  If you type 400 lines or more per hour, there is no way that you can edit 750 or 800 lines per hour, yet you will still receive the decreased rate for editing.  For some people who have been on the accounts for years all they had to do was pull in their self-made templates with the jumps programmed in and fill in the information.  With editing, some reports need to be corrected almost entirely or at the very least have full paragraphs that need to be corrected or moved.  The people making 2800 lines per day on editing are only doing minimum editing, which makes for an extremely sloppy report.  Ask some on the Forum about their QA scores in editing.  In a recent conference call people got low QA scores even though they followed all the instructions given to them about not changing certain things in the report that they had been correcting before.  They were told they were over-editing.  So when they stopped doing that their production went up, but then they got low QA scores.  Something has to change.  That means that either QA is going to change and allow sloppiness in the reports or people are going to have to start editing more closely to make sure that these errors are corrected.  That means closer inspection and more editing time. 

I hate to agree but must.  Hospitals neither have the time, money or investiture in keeping their physicians in line when all the focus is on the bottom line.  We have not only outsourced but we have changed the face of treating physicians practicing in our country by allowing so many ESL physicians to treat our citizens.  They have no investiture in our healthcare system for heaven sake.  They are sending money to Fidelity or Waterhouse and getting the h.... out of here when they can retire.  We have limited funding for young Americans to attend college and so exactly who can afford to foot the bill for med school and when they get out do they want to be indentured servants of insurance companies who dictate all.  In greed and stupidity we are sinking to the third world and once the slide starts the momentum grows and grows .. faster and faster.  We don't train medical people, we don't support farmers thus we can't feed ourselves, we purchase oil primarily from the mideast because of agreements that make a select few very rich, and we close our eyes and ears to what is happening until an election year.

Pretty soon the Give us your poor and huddled masses will not be about those who want to come to America to follow the dream .. it will be about us here already who wonder what the hell went wrong!
