Wether it's 1 QA person or more, keep corrections as references because I notice that even QA have their I'm in the mood to correct/type this today... These references will be your weapons. If this QA person/people will not let up, then I hate to say it, but just play the suck it up game until you get off of QA. It may or may not work for you, but I've played the suck it up game until I was off QA with 2 people and, now, as long as I follow the rules, neither one can tell me anything. I'm hoping someone will have better ideas, but good luck if you chose to go this route.

QA corrections
If you think they have you mixed up, cut/copy your work to wordpad and put a job # on them, compare that with your QA corrections and see. Call the supervisor on this. NO one should be nitpicking you, I do not know who work with but good luck, some QAs can be relentless for petty stuff.

QA Feedback/Corrections
I am so frustrated.. I am just starting a new job/new account and the QA feedback is ridiculous.. I was an English major and know where my punctuation is supposed to go and the QA people keep removing commas were I know there are supposed to be commas. Also they keep removing The from sentences were I know the doctor said The or That. Like The History and instead they have been correcting it with just History and some other little changes that are driving me nuts. I am afraid that in the future these changes are going to go against me or something. Do I say something to the QA people or do I just let it go? I find it really irritating to be slapped down for something I know to be correct.

Try to question QA's corrections....
then you are certainly remembered who you are and picked on!

No, not when she has all those corrections to battle
Sounds like it's a 'too many cooks' situation for you, too, skunko. At a company as huge as the Q, I'm sure there are dozens of MTs in there and (from what I've heard) many newbies, etc., I'm sure quite a few people are overriding the system and changing what is technically correct, which is creating a lot of the chaos you're conscientious enough to clean up.

With regards to racking it up because Skunko gets 0.5 cpl, nah, she can't clean up if she's having to practically rewrite every report that drops into her cue. That's incredibly time consuming just doing it a couple of times a shift, not to mention if it were practically each and every report.

My sympathies, Skunko...I'd be struggling just like you if every report consisted of damage control!

WHAT? Do you have to email all those corrections to all the MTs...
so basically you are only getting paid for 15 lines if you fill in a blank? Do Focus QA people have to listen to the whole report from top to bottom or just jump to the blank? Our company must listen to the whole report. Why have a blank in paragraph 1, QA fills it in, but there are typos and crap in paragraph 3, 4, and 5? Interesting!

Hello!! Waiting for my corrections on grammer and ain't. (sm)
Sorry to be so petty, but a person tries to help another and this is the kind of crap that goes on.

This is the Holiday season and we should at least during this time of the year show a little compassion and kindness towards our co-workers.

You are very lucky: Only 10 corrections in 100 lines? Wow!...sm
Please tell me the company, so that I can switch.

Are the corrections legitimate? If so, maybe you have a few things to learn still..

I have a pretty good list. Any comments/corrections welcome. This is just from
what I have seen over the past few years in terms of growth, size and national accounts.

I put them alphabetical rather than size as I am not 100% on a few. There are 11 instead of 10 too.

This also leaves off a few that only have U.S. Editors with all work done offshore.

If I am missing any, I apologize. These are companies that I have seen at AHIMA, in magazines, on these boards, at AAMT, etc. I am not claiming perfection so I have omitted any, I apologize in advance.
