What IS cherrypicking?
And how does it differ from slight "editing" to make a sentence sound better (how did some of these MD/DO get out of med school anyway??) But gosh, aren't we glad they did??!! 
cherrypicking
IF there are cherrypickers, then they ALWAYS find a way to cheat, no matter what the system. Maybe there isn't any cherrypicking going on at Axolotl, but that's even worse, because it means that 90% of the dictation is crap and there is no hope to ever make a decent line count.
well at least they don't allow cherrypicking
it gets the point across..
Cherrypicking
If you have looked at the history and see that people are cancelling out of the job, especially if it is a bad dictator, I would send the job # to my supervisor and tell her it has been cancelled out of. I have seen jobs where 4 and 5 people have cancelled it and thrown it back. You are right, it isn't fair, so unless you speak up about it, it will continue to happen.
Cherrypicking
Gee, WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT??? Done it repeatedly, and nothing has been done, thus, the frustration. You must either be the queen cherrypicker, herself, or management. And actually I think BWAHAHAHA sounds much more first-graderish than You will get yours.
Cherrypicking
It happens to me daily, and I keep complaining, but it keeps happening. Very frustrating. It's gotten to where I can predict when the report comes up whether or not it has been dumped by someone i.e. no demographics/difficult patient name to figure out, wrong facility, audio bad, or difficult physician. I thought that was not allowed and wish someone were paying attention. It typically is ALWAYS the same 2 or 3 MTs, and I wish there were a way they could set them up so that they could not cancel out of a job and if they did, they got it back without every time. That's the only way to learn and at the same time it gets old when you're left with the crap while others move on to the more money-making reports. Arrg!
Cherrypicking
AMEN and thank you. I have been stewing too much to even respond to the candy comment. Obviously someone in management who doesn't have to deal with it on a daily basis. And you are so right about it affecting my paycheck. Otherwise, I could care less what anybody else is doing, but how dare anybody think they are above doing the miserable dictations and throwing them back for somebody else to do.
no, this would be cherrypicking....snm
but you can delete it, type it straight and get paid the VR cpl rate.
Cherrypicking on VA account?..sm
I've heard of MTs stating that they cannot do OP reports, but can anyone think of why an MT would NEVER do a C&P report on a VA account? This particular MT only types PN, H&P's, and DS. Is this the supervisor favoring this person and routing only these worktypes her way or is this person cherrypicking which reports they will type? I get several C&P's a day, and they do kill productivity as they are usually 15+ minutes of dictation to do, but I didn't think we had a choice on a VA account....
condoned cherrypicking
I thought ignoring cherry pickers was bad until my hospital actually incorporated it. I started there and was amazed at the poor quality and blanks left in easy dictations. I was earning good - not great - money. They changed it so that favored workers have access to the higher paying work types before everyone else. Now some workers are making good money because management has greased the skids for them. I have dropped in salary and there is no way to return to former pay. I guess lethargy and lack of ambition sometimes pay off. Work on befriending the scheduler rather than working on your skills. Humbug.
Does TransTech have cherrypicking too?
x
Yes, I really agree with the cherrypicking!
But if you talk to the superviser they will asign you some of the better work to break up the harder work.
Don't forget the cherrypicking
that is rampant and never addressed. We might as well ALL throw jobs back that we don't want to do because they kill our line count. Here's a news flash, especially for P.S., who is one of the biggest cherry pickers there is, anybody can see what you're doing when they click history. This is also being documented and there are reports printed every so often that shows every person who cancelled a job. You people sicken me. Do you think you are more special than the rest of us and can just throw back the junk for us to do? Well enjoy it while it lasts. If it were up to me, your days would be filled with assigned jobs by everybody you throw back. Once there is enough documentation, you will get yours.
cherrypicking/history
There is no way to look up another person's history to my knowledge. What you can do and what anybody can do when you are in a report is do Alt-G, then click the button that says history. This will show you every person who touched that job. Obviously if that information were so confidential, the big button saying history would not be there for anybody and everybody to click. I think the only people who would be disturbed that others are looking at the history are the cherrypickers.
love cherries but not cherrypicking
routing the best jobs to your buddies
If QA types they have nothing to gain by cherrypicking
This is true for any company. I used to type as well as do QA. I never skipped -bad- jobs because they would end up in QA anyway because the other MTs couldn't do them. Believe me, QA does not love a bunch of reports in QA because it clogs up the system. So I did them no matter how hard they were. I have never worked for Transtech but speaking from experience I can't imagine why a QA at any company would cherrypick jobs only to be stuck with them later in QA.
If the work is not assigned to you, then someone is cherrypicking...nm

Team Lead Help with Cherrypicking
If you are a team lead for the Web, can you tell us who else can we tell if our STM doesn't seem to want to do anything about it when you have complained? What other option do we have?
Cherrypicking is when you work from a pool of jobs and being able to reject the worst jobs to those

It's a "fishing" post. Same post a few days ago with numerous errors

You are not allowed to post their link on this site. Post

Read Spherson's post below, who admits, in the post, they do pay it.

Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make. I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me. We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level. Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination. The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner. Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter. Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter.
everytime you post, where ever you post
unless you go through an anonymizer, your IP address can be traced back to you, even through the guises of this web site. There are web sites you can find on the internet to do this for you, or if you are 18 years old and like to hack, it's an easy enough thing to do.
I post a pay range, DOE; however, most don't post..
I wish some MTs would start thinking about the business aspect of the industry. For example, this is a public site, so go to Google or another search engine and type [the co's name] and per line, and voila! now everyone knows how much you pay your MTs.
Post removed, you can re-post.

Last post
No, after I read a followup yesterday that said there were apologies and answered Michelle, I realized that and someone said to just get back to work and they were right.. even an apology was too much, plus it would look like I was just tagging along after JMO, which is what you are accusing me of now.
I just didn't understand where the posts went, it was odd, and I wanted to reiterate some things (the point I mentioned earlier, about seeing BOTH sides), but I see it really doesn't matter WHAT I say, you've already made up your mind about me and my motivations without even knowing me. Why am I explaining myself to you? I dunno.
It doesn't matter. Good luck to you and don't worry, God will take care of/deal with me, and I ask him to bless you all too.:)
TO POST ABOVE, AT MQ 6 YRS....sm
Would you please e-mail me at jcarros213@aol.com. I "really" need information.
TIA

WHY DOES MY POST
On Greenlight Transcription keep getting erased?! 
WHY DOES MY POST??
mine got erased too..I asked a question about eTransPlus and now it's gone???
Above post
Oh my.....I didn't know Wal-Mart had "greaters". I thought they were greeters! I am sure they are hiring though so you should do well there.
Why don't you sign your posts? Are you also the one that said SoftScript is the worst? Wow....there a lot of worsts out there. Guess we will all starve.
Will you post when you do?
Are you a SS transcriptionist? Will you post your acknowledgement of e-mail?
It gives YOU something to post about right?!
What else would you post about?! LOL
I like your post!!

To Can't Say: Regarding your post below about
Can you say which recruiter told you that Transcend was buying MQ?
Where did you see this post?
asdf
If you post their name they probably won't get any
resumes. This way they'll probably get a few, but hopefully the MTs will be wise enough to turn them down.
Another good reason not to respond to a blind ad is that it could be the company you are currently working for - or you were working for (LOL).
I appreciate your post...perhaps I used....sm
the wrong word of undercutting, but when I became an MTSO 9+ years ago......a national was charging 13-18 cpl to the client and so I went ONE cent below that, 12 CPL.....and I get the work, have had clients for all this time...and I work for a national part-time....
Thank you for taking the time to type all that....much appreciated!! 
And you might want to post
your message in reply to the correct message. I am not oops.
I have only posted one message in response to this person.
Anyone could post on here and say they are from
Whose to say that poster posing as KS Team Leader or such is not someone specifically out to do KS harm?
For crying out loud, people -- just someone with a mean streak and nothing to do can get on here and cause harm. And the reason they can cause it is because most people on here will believe any post they read.
Now THAT is sad.
sorry about my post above, was

I think they are trying not to post here except
Still doesn't make any sense at all to come to a public forum and ask these kinds of questions.
I'd be reluctant to hire someone who had no more IQ than to do that.
