has probably never had to suffer in lines and wages the consequences of a cherry-picker. People like her saying ignore it and go on are just as bad as those who condone it. Look way below, she's now personally attacking the person who called her on it!!

You basically said ignore cherry-pickers.
And what a cheap shot to claim someone else can't read. Have fun being a bleeding-heart loser! To say basically ignore someone doing wrong is by default to defend the action.
Cherry pickers. sm
Does anyone work for a company who will not overlook cherry picking? Thanks.
Cherry pickers
And if it goes to someone more familiar, how will you ever become familiar with it? That familiar person may leave and you get half a dozen reports you cannot do and you make zilch because you didn't take the time to become familiar.
Cherry Pickers
Happening everywhere, also adjustment in lines, not counting this, not counting that. We have some really dishonest greaseball people running things these days. I feel for ya, I really do. I would look elsewhere if I were you.
Cherry pickers and other cherry pickers
my experience is all hospital acute care, 16 years. So, working for nationals, I think in the last 3 years especially, your supervisors have quotas too, and they are the worst cherry pickers, I don't think the transcriptionists have the ability like your supervisors have to get the better dictation but they do. If they say they don't they are lying. How do you think they are able to send you stats, etc., plus if you are ground floor on an account they get the better dictation. I asked 3 companies if it was first in, first out, they assured me it was but in the first month all I got were mainly ESLs, short short dictations, and slurred speakers. Give me a break! Who are they kidding? Of course they don't care and that is why there is such heavy turnovers. Women will be women.
Cherry pickers
I have to say it is not like crying someone got a bigger piece of candy, it has to do with you type your fingers to the bone putting up with all the lousy dictators and the cherry pickers end up with higher productivity and possibly better raises. Sure you type all the lousy reports and you are a better MT because of it, but you can also be a poorer $$ wise MT.
True story...working on-site with 3 of us on the job. One wanted to come in at 3 a.m. and work until 8 a.m. because of child care issues. My shift started at 6 a.m. and this person was never there, but her productivity was sky high,,,then we figured it out, there was one doc who read almost all radiology reports as normal. We realized that none of his reports were ever there when we came in in the a.m. only the ESL and lousy dictators. So we started watching, sure enough this doc easily read 150 reports and probably 135 of them were normals (or so he said). So revenge is sweet....after we heard yet again from our sup. how wonderful so and so was and how much work she produced  ,so we started hiding his work and leaving her all the lousy dictators..... . All of the sudden,  her line count dropped in the toilet and the cat was out of the bag. The good docs work got done at 6 a.m. and no one was the wiser.  Too bad it is not possible when you are working off-site.
cherry pickers
My 2 cents: I've been an MT for 25 years. I've worked in hospitals where cherry picking was always a huge issue for some. There would be accusations filed with the supe, investigations done, department meetings held, and conclusion would usually be: It couldn't be definitely proven. If it was clear that an MT had assigned herself/himself a bunch of good stuff and skipped higher priority jobs, then he/she might be verbally reprimanded but rarely written up (usually because he/she wasn't the only one guilty and could point the finger at others). Most of the times, supe told everybody to MYOB. My best friend still works in-house and has a co-worker who skips any and everything to get only x-rays. When she asked after 3 years of this, if they could have a dept. meeting or do something to work through this, she was told that this person was too valuable to mess with because of her willingness to work late shift. I now work for a national and there is no way to cherry pick on my accounts, short of closing out/shutting down and going back in 15-30 minutes later, which would only cause you to have to make up that time later, and you might even end up with that same job you wanted to skip and it's not worth it. My lead actually routed me a job recently asking for my help and apologizing that she was sending me an op note that several MTs had skipped over. Each MT has to decide how much time/energy to put into fighting cherry picking or whether to try to let it go as one of the many unfair obstacles we face in life.
what makes you think cherry pickers are fat??

Cherry Pickers do not fare well
with me. If you wind up on my account and I catch you cherry-picking, you will get one warning. If you cherry-pick again on purpose again, I will report you to management and do all in my power to get you either written up or terminated. It is not fair to the other MTs on the account. Cherry-pickers ruin it for everyone, and should not call themselves MTs.
Cherry-pickers are whiners themselves
We may whine BUT WE DO EVERY REPORT WE GET unlike cowardly cherry-picking. Yes you do as I said previously advocate dishonesty of cherry-pickers. THEY are the incompetent ones. I am very good and have myself fired those for cherry-picking. You should be directing your childish ranting to the ones who do NOT do every report. We good MTs have the right to complain about the unfairness of cherry-pickers taking the easy way out and LOSER IDIOTS like you who defend them. Yeah rates have gone down. WHY? Because Indian MTs DO NOT cherry-pick. They (like me and the others on here who don't like cherry-pickers) do EVERY report they come across. You are such a loser to defend lightweight MTs who deliberately only do easy reports. LOSER
the bottom line - Cherry-Pickers are scum,
should be fired, and should not even call themselves MTs. If you have a job, you type what is assigned to you. Don't like it?! Take up burger-flipping. Only incompetent MTs cherry-pick.
Please look at your posts defending dishonest cherry-pickers, then look at yourself.

I liked the program too, and love Joann's idea for dealing with cherry pickers
or people who skip reports - assigning the MT who skipped a report 3 reports by the same dictator so they learn how to do them.
reporting cherry pickers falls on deaf ears. I have complained for years.

no, not an idiot about DEP/DQS
Just a victim of the usual lack of consistency with MQ...I was told it was DEP at first, then when they started throwing the DQS term around, I felt clueless...turns out it is one and the same.
That said, there should not be any difference in a program in lines if you were on DEP/DQS..but who knows anymore, it could have been XY&Z but really AB&C platform and who knows what they'll call it next year
IDIOT?
Hmmm, sounds like a management email from them. Dork. How's that?
Then you are an idiot.
xx
I as in idiot.
That is what a simple answer to a question about the acronym code for a conference call was called. If this is who I think it is, that was so ugly. You are not the first, we have had at least 10.
I am such an idiot!
Thanks for answering me, though. Speech recognition... : )
Spoken by one of the pickers....
Man, I worked for them for a while but was so disgusted by the cherry picking (amoung other things) that I threw in the towel. I even heard some girls get up at 3 in the morning to download the easy docs. This is supposed to be against company rules but the company does not seem to really care. It was not a good fit for me but might be for you!!
On way to cherry pick is to whine about hard doctors and get assigned the easier docs which leaves the rest of us with what? Hard. Thanks.
You would be an idiot to apply to MQ
after reading all these posts. That 2300 a day would equal maybe a 1200 in DQS.
She's beyond the point of looking like an idiot.

What a jerk AND an idiot!!! LOL nm
xxx
Get a life, you idiot!!! I hope you are
You can't possibly be a happy SSer unless you just totally do not have a brain.
What an idiot this person is. Thinks he has all
the answers and really doesn't have any of them. He doesn't know who I am and cannot comment on anything about what transpired when I worked there.
I have absolutely no reason to lie about my experience with SS. It was a horrible place for lots of reasons and I'll tell anyone who asks about the company my experience to spare them the headache. IF my QA scores were down (how could they be I was in QA), if I didn't stick to my schedule, etc. and got fired I would admit that also, but none of it happened - I QUIT and H did beg me to stay. I know it is hard with all his sliminess to believe he could beg, but beg he did.
no idiot, been there and they suck haha
Let me know when you wanna play with the big people. On one job, I make $23/h plus incentive. Full benes. 20 weeks PTO/yr. Second job REAL IC pays 11 cpl including headers/spaces. Now, who is jealous? Not that you would admit it. LOL. Now, go make your hard earned sucky money LOL
Calling someone an idiot is not commenting... NM

You are the same idiot that posts on the Evil Q board...
Aren't you? Jes wonderin.... (as they say in your neck of the woods!) 
No, you blathering idiot. I was thinking of applying. I

First, their HIPAA officer is an idiot and says to use MSN messenger for pt names.
ANYONE with any brain knows that MSN is not a secure environment for patient names, but when confronted and asked, she said yes we could say patient names in that. A friend of mine who worked there at the same time told them that she would NOT use patient names in messenger.
i wish she had reported that idiot to the bulldogs!
You could almost put any company's name in there anymore. We are all treated like mindless idiot
i have asked for other transcritpionists email addresses to see if we could put our heads together like for example learning speech and helping each other. No deal, was just ignored. Lied to constantly just because we can't see the work. It is an insult. Wish I had never gotten into this profession. I was even excited when we could work at home thinking it was going to be more lucrative financially, and it should be but when transcription companies spend millions of dollars buying each other something is wrong, wrong, wrong.
Ignore them if you can.
I didn't think you were management or brown-nosing, nor did I see anything wrong with your post. I don't think it is old biddies, I think they are extremely young or at least they seem immature to me. They are like little gremlins or something. The very second they see anything positive said or someone asks a question, it seems to irritate them and they crawl out. Couldn't tell you why, but don't worry about it. Everyone that reads these forums are not that way. Hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and I for one am glad to see someone happy with their company.
Ignore this
I have no idea why this double posted, but if someone could delete one, I would be much appreciative!
Ignore them
Oh my gosh just delete them. That's what I do. They are not asking you specifically to get on and work so if it's not your shift why are you getting so upset about it? Use your delete key.
I AM SO SORRY... PLEASE JUST IGNORE US...
Have I no shame, you may ask, and rightfully so. If I were truly of sound mind, that would be a very fair question. Unfortunately, as I have detailed below, that is, sadly, not the case.
There is hope, however! You see, as I was about to fling myself into The Hillbilly Acres Memorial Septic Tank, I was amazingly stopped by the engineer who was, AT THAT VERY MOMENT, servicing said septic tank. Can we all talk about timing??!! This kind man informed me that he was looking for an assistant and I was OBVIOUSLY PERFECT FOR THAT JOB! Of course, I was forced to perform a few acts that were rather displeasing to my various personas (hey, haven't we all been in this position at one or another time in our lives!) to acquire said Asst Septic Tank Engineer job but it is going to be worth it, I know! Soon I will have money for health insurance and MEDICATION and will never darken your MT doorsteps ever, EVER AGAIN. I PROMISE!
Now, until then, please, PLEASE, I BEG YOU, IGNORE ANY FURTHER POSTINGS FROM US/ME/IT/WE/ETC.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation with us!
CONSIDER THE COURSE & IGNORE.nm
I ignore verbatim
and use common sense. If it is obviously a woman, ADT screen if you are on DocQScribe will tell you that. The doctors have these degrees but they are not perfect. Nobody is. I have a doctor who does not even know how to count, 1, 2 4, 8, 7, ??? Now I do not type this.
We are smarter than the docs sometime and just forget about verbatim in those situations.
They do not even know how to spell many meds either but you can't go verbatim here either.
You will give good patient care by typing what is right and ignoring the doc.
Ignore the above post. nm

Ignore the troll.

I usually ignore these things too
This report was from a couple days ago, so I don't think things have changed. The format is totally 100% wrong in nearly all fields. The thing is, they let these new MTs off QA in a matter of days. I understand there were many new MTs to check, but I don't understand how something like this got through, especially when one of my reports was reviewed and though there were no errors, I was told to use of between CO2 and the number to avoid confusion. Seems a bit picky when you have something like this report going to the facility. There was no additional sign off on this report and this particular doctor is a very, very good dictator, though uses many uncommon terms that need to be looked up. I don't know, I guess I will hold off a bit for now.
They ignore both IM AND emails sm
Emails are usually ignored. As for IM, usually ignored also except for 1 person, who is good at answering but she's lower down the pole and isn't the contact person for some of the stuff. She's the only good one there.
How about you just don't handle it and ignore it.
sometimes, less is best!
OSi because they ignore me about a secondary
.
Just ignore her TT112.
Gloria loves to stir the pot and will post under different monikers agreeing with herself. Oh yeah -- just my observation.
Ignore her. We are all in this world
nm
Tsk. Ignore above post. Obviously
X
No, she did not ignore the point. sm
She was making the point that if you know something in advance, you should not complain about it later if you agreed to it. Just stick to your point, if valid. If not, why complain because you agreed to it.
Please just scan through and ignore any MQ news. (sm)
As with any company, when something new comes up there are quite a few posts about it, this happens to be a large company and has a lot of employees.
Just scan through the headings, you don't have to open each one. I bet it will only take a few minutes to do.
Have a nice day.
Glad you can ignore verbatim -
We were told very specifically to type word for word. We can send things to QA if we question them. Also have one doctor who specifies all his numbers be left out of order because he has some nutty system in his charts that he likes to use. What you do cannot be applied across the board, much as we all might like to do it!
Mostly, I simply ignore the "trolls"..don't need em...nm

Just ignore her. She liked to make trouble when she was there. nm
