As stated in other posts, if you are doing a good job then nothing is said to you. For you to have so much contact with the person in question, one would wonder about your own job performance.

What does it have to do with job performance?

Nothing really. However, I work at home and do so for the fact that I do not have to take crap from NO ONE. She was rude in the testing process. I did not even work with her. Her rudeness was also a sign of stupidity to me. The poster asked. I gave my experience. Whether she decides to work for someone of that caliber is her business. I was just noting MY experience. As for me, I do not care to do business with rude people, especially at her pay.

Take what you like, dump the rest.

The requirements to be met for performance are:
1. Minimum of 100 lines per hour, or regular full time 150 lines per hour. Radiology is 8 reports per hour or 12 for full time.
2. Quality Assurance Plan standard (I believe that means QC percentage).
3. Work the schedule that has been agreed upon.
BUT under the compensation plan it says you are paid by the line. Again the line versus the hours. You see how they incorporate both and make it perfectly legit. I don't get how they can get away with it.

When I look at the Performance Metrics sm
I always wonder why I bother taking time to fill in blanks or to look up words. There are people who continue to work for Web who have well over the normal amount going to QA, I see people with less than 98% QA. Why am I trying so hard? It's not like those people will be fired.

What has this to do with giving minimum performance????....s/m
It is the other way around: The extensive usage of Autocorrect, normals and macros, InstanText, etc....makes an MT a typing machine.
Expanders, normals, macros, Autocorrect, where you also enter ONCE the right spelling and the right cap or not cap and it's automated, no need to use your brain anymore, just a '
click' and the computer does the rest for you.

What are you talking about? I think YOU have forgotten how to use your brain and have become a typing machine, unable to reason 'like a human, thinking human being.'

You see, the introduction of ASR made the usage of Expanders almost obsolete.

Annual performance review criteria--hope it helps!
SC,

Good luck with getting the raise you deserve! I posted a couple days ago regarding my experience with my recent annual review and raise I received. With my company, the annual review is scored with 5 pts being the highest possible to achieve in 6 categories; quality, line requirements, attendance, % to QA, helping out, and communication. They award 1/4 cent/line if you have 4.5+ and 1/2 cent/line with a perfect score of 5/5. They only use the last 6 months of data to calculate total score.

In my experience, e-mails do not work! They are too easily lost and are forwarded to God knows who! Call your immediate supervisor and get their opinion and who to contact with this proposal. Good Luck!

I have to kind of agree with you. I noticed on Performance Metrics that some are below the 125 requ
and some people have a horrendous QA submission rate. I understand some accounts require more to be sent to QA than others. But... now is the time to clean house with those consistently underperforming.

Another thing that has always irked me is the number of new MTs (and I am not trying to be offensive or mean) who come into the profession and want a day shift M-F job because they have responsibilities at home. Well, we have all been there, done that and paid our dues.

I think WMX is pretty good about not overstaffing day shift and spreading out people to meet the needs of the client. I am just saying in past places I have worked this has happened. Some of us oldies work weekends and evenings, the new ones walk in and demand the icing off the top of the cake.

See, not enough work gives me too much time to complain.
