Doesn't matter If you haven't contacted former previous supervisor or not; go ahead
and put their contact info down (if you have it), for your reference. It's not necessary to contact your references prior to putting them down on an app--if you left them with a good impression, that should speak for itself and they will give a good reference if they are contacted.
Michelle
Can't help you with a set up for MQ but CAN keep you on y prayer list. Glad you are safe. Take care
Michelle may just HAVE
to find a way to work with all the devastation. Yes, I think ALL companies should really take care of their own right now, especially one like MQ!
michelle for president!!!! nm

or because of Michelle Bachmann.
But seriously, she gives me the heebie-jeebies *and* hives.
It's the old jealousy thing, Michelle.
It's all about the attitude. I think some people just don't want others to do better than they do. Not me!
I think one of the best things I do for my line count is I have no interruptions. No supermom/superwoman here! I can't do it that way. Work is still that, it's work, man! Keep at it steady for 3-4 hours and take a break and then 3-4 hours. Remember the hare/turtle story?! Yep. That's it. The turtle won the race cause he kept at it while that d**** rabbit just spurted around here and there cause he could. ROFL Gotta love that story for the underdog!!
Should Michelle Kwan go to the Olympics
She has been injured all year. She did not compete at nationals and she is requesting a bye onto the olympic team. She should be allowed to compete and take the spot away from a young, deserving skater that did compete?
Hey, Michelle, that sounds like fun, e-mail me....sm
I really enjoy sharing stories, tips, assistance, whatever, even just gripes, perhaps we could come up with a time...I am East Coast, and I work days, so........late afternoon, early evening, late evening...not sure when is best, let me know what you think! 
After Michelle and Shirley (first names) for men
I wouldn't ever assume gender; and I don't think region makes any difference, travel is too easy.
MICHELLE!! GET BACK DOWN HERE! OH NO! YOU'VE READ THEM!
Its too late, but come back down here and laugh. Don't read the ugly posts! They're not there - they are not really there - they don't exist, nor does the ugly poster!!
ortho help...s/l michelle flip sign?
this is an ortho exam and he keeps repeating this throughout many of his dictations and I can't seem to find anything. It sounds pretty clear that he is saying michelle flip sign but I just can't verify that anywhere. Anyone ever hear of that?? Thanks so much for your help!
Of course I contacted QA...SM
and asked specifically that I be e-mailed the completed document. I will keep that for my proof as many suggested, but I'm 100% sure that I would have at least verified it with the office because it is a dangerous sound alike medication. There really is no way this QA person would ever change her mind. She is one who really thinks she knows it all. I figured I'd be asking to be fired if I said anything more. I constantly am biting my tongue and keeping quiet, but have kept copies of all communications regarding any issues that have come up. Ultimately, it will be her fault and responsibility if a lawsuit ever happens or a patient is injured because of the wrong med. It is just sad that she can't consider another point of view or at least ask verification.
Anyway, water under the bridge for now. The documentation I have should be fine.
What to they tell you when you have contacted
them about this?
Bye MTs!! Michelle, MomMT and I are out for a night on the town! The limo
is here, and we are OUTTA HERE!!
Corporate has been contacted. The more the better.
:
Yeah, I contacted them as soon as I
found out they needed homes for the pets and still have not been contacted, either. I was getting curious, too:)
Have you contacted Dr. Phil??
Seriously, I don't know what you can do about it. Probably absolutely nothing. You just need to be as supportive TO YOUR SON as you can be. You can let him know you don't agree with this but you love him anyway. Honestly, this will not last long. He may not even make it to the altar. As far as the girl....just tolerate her the best you can. I don't think she'll be in your life very long!! Good luck!
Evidently you can't read. We have contacted
employee problems to be public fodder. They don't respond to questions. They
don't return phone calls. When they do give answers they are nonsensical, non-answers.
Go back and read. See how many of us here are saying we have been in touch
with the mighty Frank et al. And it is not your place to tell anybody to "file it or shut it".
Get out of "our" business if you are not affected.
Casey, ck your email, I have contacted you.

You DONT need to be contacted. Send it all!

My friend contacted this morning regarding radiology job and she
was asking me if I had done before- I had at a previous job when radiologist MT was out and had never done before. This person calling wanted experience but said paying up to 17$ an hour. That is a pretty good salary. I told my coworker I would ask on board how she could maybe take some courses or just where to go for help in radiology MTing. I am happy where I am with VR so not interested in myself but I know she is looking. Thanks.
Have you contacted the office manager, physician, etc.(?)

I have been in the same boat since being transferred to Amherst. I have contacted New Jersey and
spoken with one of THOSE WOMEN and have gotten very little response other than oh we will see what we can do and things continue to just go on the way they were. I think it will take a lot of people calling Human Resources and emailing those 2 women or getting transferred or quitting that will change things MAYBE. Are many people quitting up there in Amherst. I know since my office has been transferred they are quitting now.
Have already contacted by state senator and received a response
But of course, all it said was that he was glad to hear my point of view, blah, blah.....no indication of how he was going to vote when it comes up - but at least I let my feelings be known, in no uncertain terms. We have to do SOMETHING, it's just hard to know what.
You have to work in their Harrison office. I contacted them in August, but I live across the
s
The Dictaphone techs are usually great at problem solving. Have they been contacted?? nm

With regard to Jester's Touch. Ms. Jester contacted me via email
this morning to announce that she has "been told to cease any other communications" with MTStars. As well, she has told a tissue of lies regarding the labor board denying Ms. Latta's case. I have learned this morning that the case has NOT been denied and is still being processed.
Glad I could help and glad you got your setup going. nm

glad to help, glad it worked!

Except my supervisor is NOT an MT
And anyway, our experiences are just different.
I think if I was being routed crap, yeah, I'd be pissed. I'm just saying routing, or reserved as someone pointed out, isn't ALWAYS a bad thing.
It's not cherry picking if the folks who do the routing aren't transcribing. And at my place they're not. Trust me, I ask them questions and they have no idea what I'm talking about. They're admin people, not MTs.
MQ supervisor
Mine is a wonderful lady, helpful, funny, hard-working. I think Atlanta has the best staff in the country.
Not unless they are actually your QA supervisor.

Tell your supervisor!
Do you work for a company that is located in Massachusetts? I won't say the name....most pathetic QA on the planet.
Supervisor of who?
If it is just her, who is she supervising? Maybe they want to pay her to supervise at this point since they gave her the title? How do you not give the girl a chance? Anyone with experience would need trained even on the difficult doctors. Give her some samples. Just because it was not the "supervisor's" decision on who they hire doesn't mean this girl wouldn't work out. I think the supervisor is afraid this girl might just show her up while she's gone!! JMO.
I had a supervisor like this. (sm)
Her mistakes & shortcomings were glaring and inexcusible. But although these were, and continue to be, pointed out to HER supervisor (who hired her) and even higher-ups, they stand behind her as if she were a saint. (Which she is NOT.) Nope, I really don't think it's worth pointing out her flaws, it'll just put you under a microscope and in the company's gunsights at a future time. That's the kind of people upper middle management seems to want these days. Pretty sad.
What do you think of a supervisor
who watches her transcriptionists' typing time including in between reports for the whole shift plus, even when there is a split shift, and then questions if there is more than a few minutes in between reports for that whole time. Just wanting some input. This truly exists in at least 2 jobs I know of and I have a certain opinion about that. And this would not be a manager who is watching newbies to help them if they were needing help, this is someone monitoring the whole staff. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
AND CC THEIR SUPERVISOR...SM
They will think twice about nitpicking then.
yes, my supervisor and other transcribers
are well aware of the system. And YES I DO DO DO DO DO type the foreign and American mushmouths. 520 lines in six hours is nothing ... I average 220+ lines an hour.
I've been both, supervisor and MT
I work just as hard and you're right, hear just as many excuses as when I was a supervisor over about 50 people. But at least then I could do something about it.
A GOOD supervisor will:
1. Inspire confidence.
2. Share information.
3. Gain cooperative of the staff in completing work on time and reporting to work as necessary because they respect and like the supervisor.
4. Does not lie to their staff.
5. Assists as necessary, but does NOT cherrypick the accounts, whether or not they are paid a salary.
6. Has a little empathy for their fellow workers.
7. Recommends raises to the boss for those that are worthy of it.
8. Communicates regularly with staff by e-mail and at least once a month by telephone.
When you hate your job, we can tell it. When you are not competent, we can tell that too.
I'm not saying I want to be best friends with my supervisor,
I rarely take time off unless its an emergency, in fact its been a couple years, and not too long ago there was an emergency with my health. My supervisor only told me she needed me on working asap, did not inquire about my health, wish me well or to get better. Its just work work work...which seems kind of cold to me.
When I worked for a local office and knew them for years, as for favors, meaning i'll work my fingers to the bone, settle for getting no raises whatsoever, not complain, just give me work that i'm the most proficient at so we both win, like predominantly operative reports or maybe even psych.
My supervisor is very friendly and
personable, however, we have never met in person. We have "known" each other for years since we have both worked out of the same office a long time, he used to be an office employee, recently promoted.
I feel the way you do! I don't have a supervisor now, but SM
when I did have one, I just ignored her for the most part. :D
I have only heard from my supervisor
once or twice and have no opinion at all. I'm not even sure where she is or what she does. I do hear from QA nearly every day though - she is great! never puts me down or tries to sound like she knows everything, she just points out the error of my ways in a helpful way..and when I have a terrible dictator, she commiserates with me!!
supervisor and QA? Go w/QA would be my impulse. nm

I report them to their supervisor and if I can't get anywhere, I look for another job and when
I've located one, I give notice with an explanation as to why I'm resigning.
Yes, they do. Call your supervisor.
You can also go online to the website and read the downtime polcy and see that it sounds like your situation constitutes technical downtime.
If you have problems, contact Human Resources.
Have you talked with your supervisor?
Every national I've ever worked for has assigned me a secondary or tertiary account so I never run out of work.
Obviously you do not call the supervisor and
make a lot of small talk and chatter about how wonderful he/she is, what a hard job they have, and find all their points of interest, etc. You have to "butter up" the bosses. You are stuck with the crap and you know it. The ones who can spend part of their day with the small talk are the ones who get ahead.
Can you ask your supervisor for samples of
the ESL doctors' other reports? This will help you can get a handle on what they say frequently.
You have a great attitude. Remember if you can transcribe ESLs, you can transcribe anything. Good luck!
old supervisor put her ex-husbands
with on a rad account because "she was in nursing school" and had learned the terminology by process of "osmosis"
