Supervisor's pets
Has anyone else had a supervisor that had pets while riding all the other MT's? Anyone else out there who has had that problem? If so, I'm sure your stories are just as entertaining as mine have been.
They definitely have their pets and favorites
and if there are any bonuses, good accounts, etc., the pets will get them all. Same with raises. Several people I know got raises, but not sure how they managed that other than being a pet.
Used to be decent bonuses on rare occasions, then Transcend came along and the whole company went downhill. Not a good place to be anymore.
Pets? I am not a pet, and I love MDI.....
I wonder who the pets are... if you are a pet - please reply, I'd love to know what you do differently.
I liked being one of Carole's pets
never was treated better in my life..
What do our "wonderful pets" have to do with
the sky ideals, they will have a wealth of victims to use for their own purpose. If you dont like how a company treats you, MOVE ON. Or stay and quit whining. Those are your 2 choices. Stay or leave.
Agreed; there are no pets, but enough work for all
the people that want to work. I ran out a little around Christmas and the day after. But other than that, I am okay
the more I know people, the more I love my pets

Actually, she told one of her pets, who was nice
enough to pass it along to me. She's never given me a real answer no matter how many times I've asked, but what she supposedly said makes sense.
Another one of the pets talking here. The rest of us starve.

MTSO has taken "our wonderful pets" as a
And if that is ok with you and you just live for an occasional pat on the head, that is your choice. I chose to move on and live a live befitting a strong woman, making my own decisions, making my own money (and as much as I think I am worth) and not being a slave laborer to any company.
BS! BS! the AC's assigns the best jobs to her pets leaving the crap for others

Same happened to friend of mine. Carol had pets.

Are you on straight typing or VR/typing?

Try going through supervisor. They should get

Why don't you say this to your supervisor?
Any acute care account may seem difficult for you. Express your concerns to your sup. and see if you can be placed on a different account.

Supervisor?
Not sure who you had for a supervisor, but none of our supervisors have quit in the three years I've been here. Please be sure you have your facts straight there.
According to my supervisor....sm
you can work OT on any account listed if you are off hold for that account. If you see an account that you might like to help on, read the account specifics to see if you might like it and then ask your SMT to add it to your affinities. You will be on an initial hold, more than likely, but once you are off hold you can work all the OT you can stand.
Is KW still the supervisor?
If not, then things are probably much better. Sounds like they worked out the bugs, though.
Supervisor
Is your new supe 'D'?
Have you tried asking supervisor
for help? I don't know if anything can be done about the clunky program, but perhaps you've encountered a lazy tech who is unwilling to work with you and your macros. Maybe your supervisor or his/her supervisor can help. It's worth a try.
Let the supervisor know......
Well, I would think that if you can prove it you have a case. I know, this would make me crazy. I have felt the pinch of cherry pickers myself.
I wonder though, how is it that the supervisor doesn't know these people are taking an hour or two off or if their internet is down? Why are they emailing just you? If they are not notifying the supervisor, maybe next time you get an email like this you could email back and say something like thanks for letting me know, I'll be sure to let -insert supervisor's name- know right away that you are not able to work at this time, let us know when things are -insert excuse for not working- back up again/you are feeling better/etc.
I would most definitely let the supervisor know every single time someone was taking time off for the reasons you gave. Then, the supervisor knows and can handle it accordingly.
Since she is not the supervisor, she
should never have been contacted to begin with. After the first one, however, I think I would have questioned the MT as to why she was not notifying her supervisor.
I liked Beyond Txt, I liked my supervisor
I liked my hours, I liked just about everything, except I was always just short of full-time lines. It was a high ESL, which is no problem for me, but I am very picky about QA. They also have a QA percentage requirement along with a line requirement, so every day I'd see those numbers and send less and less to QA b/c I'd take a lot of time to make sure I did it right. My fault. I ended up not able to support my child and I had to get a second job. Then I was exhausted and decided to just leave. I would have been very happy had I been able to make a higher line count with the QA I wanted and they required, and benefits. Like I said, one of those situations where I wished it would have worked out, but bills to pay, family to feed, all the rest! Good luck to you.
Must have the same supervisor or there all bad
99% of the emails I send my supervisor go unanswered the first time, and when I have to email her again because I really need an answer, I always tell her this is my 2nd or 3rd email so she knows how incompetent she is. I keep thinking maybe she will up her game, but so far it hasn't worked. Whenever I see a link asking for suggestions from any of the newsletters or emails we get from the company, I always send a suggestion that they do a survey of the MTs on 2 subjects. 1. How satisfied they are with their job. 2. How would they rate their supervisor's performance.
Apparently they don't like my suggestions as they never make an attempt at either.
My supervisor is also from NY, but
she is as sweet as an angel. Maybe she wasn't born there. 
Call your supervisor.
I would call her and tell her you are at a point in time where you have decided it is important to take care of some personal issues. Be very upbeat, positive, and looking forward to the change. Tell her you have enjoyed so much working with her, and you will be glad to give a 2 weeks' notice, and would like to know if you would be eligible for re-hire if future pursuits do not work out.
Save the email.
If she wants more details, just tell her it's personal. You don't have to go into detail, and no, you won't sound dumb. :)
I called my supervisor...
I really struggled with the decision to quit. I liked the company (a national) and accounts, but I could no longer handle the 20-hour minimum for PT as I already work a FT job and it just became too much. She was very nice about it and understood. She is a good supervisor and I felt I owed her that much. I did give a 2 week notice.
Account to ASR - per supervisor -- been asking
supe about this for a year or so -- just told within the last week (after my many questions to her about where the work has gone on this account) that the account had gone to ASR -- I heard a "jillion" excuses from the supe for the "no work" situation, EXCEPT THE TRUTH -- that it was going to ASR. Now only get the jobs that ASR cannot interpret. MQ supes are definitely not for the MT -- but MGMT puppets !! Don't you tell the MT's that their accounts are going to AST UNTIL AFTER equipment is working well, and we can handle it without the MT !!!!!!!!!!
OSI's quality supervisor probably can't
I also suspect that she's been posting all kinds of crap on this board because that's the kind of lunatic she is.
So is that why the new US MT supervisor is Indian?
?!?!?!?!
It depends on your supervisor. They are all very different.

How so? Supervisor answers, no one else

Have you spoken to your supervisor
Just curious. You've spent time in training...have you tried to see if the issue can be resolved?
The supervisor's name was Denise. nm

My supervisor just told me that they were having
problems with people not sticking to their schedules and work being out of TAT. You might want to ask the recruiter about scheduling before you make your decision, as it might be an issue. 
Supervisor? He isn't on our side! No wonder he kept
calling this weekend to see if I could work extra! He and everyone in that office knew it was coming..how they sleep tonight, I will never know.
apparently you do not have the same supervisor I did!
Exact opposite. Pay was always on time, though.
Re: MT supervisor discussion below...sm
I was an MTSO many years ago and have been an IC with my own accounts ever since. I'm curious exactly what an MT supervisor does?
Supervisor position
Anybody know if the supervisor/manager position has been filled for Superior Global. I read some bad comments about this company, just was wondering.
Please notify the supervisor or QA (sm)
Many of us were QA'd for weeks because they had the luxury of taking the time with us then. This is a good thing. They will eventually take care of all this, but if it is a priority, which I think this is, it will be taken care of pronto. Just do it.
No I am not a supervisor, just type a lot (sm)
and I bet I know which accounts you are talking about, and I do them too. They're still a mix. Good with the bad. I have a lot of experience with ESLs, so they don't bother me. I also get my share of slurry progress notes. It still evens out.
Their best supervisor had her last day yesterday and she usually
would get them right on it. So many new people in positions they do not know how to do and the MTs are on the ones suffering. Counting the hours and days until my time is up with them.
Supervisor/Recruiting
Are there ever any supervisory/recruiter positions
posted here?
I think I would try to contact the supervisor
/
again talk to the supervisor
that is their job to let MTs know what the work volumes are and where they are at.
Supervisor meeting...
nm
Report it to my supervisor?????
You mean the one who SELECTIVELY answers emails???? Do you think she will do anything about it? NOT!
have you asked your supervisor
I'm curious as to what she has said.
I would clarify this with my supervisor.
Perhaps this client wants the apostrophes.
The recruiter IS the supervisor.
It's a really small company. When I was hired the recruiter was the supervisor. There is only one supervisor, one manager, a handful of QA, and the rest MTs. So if your friend was asking about the mean supervisor, well, uh...
