Evil Co-Worker

In Reply to: my favorite saying here - give her enough rope - - mdlfcrs
I agree! Give her enough rope and evenutally she will hang herself. You are so not alone. I had to deal with one of these types for nearly 2 years. I would be trying to get my work done on my account and her IMs were poping up left and right. I even had my "Busy Working" sign up! She never did her work -- waited until the last minute. Most times I ended up doing her share because of it. Unfortunately, no one in charge seemed to notice or just did not care since I was picking up what she lacked. The money was good because I was getting a ton of extra lines, but it was killing me and destroying my marriage. She would go on and on about her family all the time. Like I cared! Her kids were sick every other day. She always had an excuse why she didn't get her work done. The kicker? Once I had to do her work last minute about an hour or so before it was all due -- I am pounding away on my keyboard she Knows I am doing her work! The IMs pop up telling me how she is helping her sister write a resume! Hello! She should have been doing her own work or at the very least leaving me alone so I could do it for her. I would type my buttock off to have an evening free -- guess what? She would suddenly have some sort of problem as soon as she saw my work was finished and she would then be unable to do her own. Guess what came next? Yep -- I got stuck working while she got away with it. I swear it was like she was stalking me on-line. Don't know how she knew, but seemed like the second I got up to use the bathroom or went to the kitchen for a soda the IMs would bing. Just the memories still drive me crazy. I can relate. It's not a fun club to belong to.

Evil Co-Worker
Anyone else have an evil co-worker or two? I work at home but there's always one that still manages to find me. I would ilke to slap this current one if I could reach her through my computer. She thinks she's my supervisor. I try to be respectful and polite, but that's not working. All my other co-workers are wonderful. I can't find anything in the company handbook about slapping not being appropriate, so that's my next plan of action. I just have to figure out a way to do that through cyberspace.
Uh, no.... evil is evil. Who's version of the truth are you talking about?
yours, mine, hers, theirs, WHO????
That is exactly what I meant. Evil for the sake of evil, not for the sake of satan
who is the essence of evil in Christianity. Call evil what you want it exists in every nation and every culture.
Having said that, did not the terrorists call America the Great Satan after their attack on 9/11?
So the truth is evil?? Whatever. nm

Wow, you are really evil to post this.

The only evil I find about smoking is. . .
How darn hard it is to quit. I have tried everything. Patches, gum, Wellbutrin, Zyban, cold turkey, etc.
Don't buy them by the pack anymore. We (my husband and I) roll our own. Buy a can of tobacco and have a little machine and thought that would deter us, but noooooooooo. $8 a week compared to over $8 a DAY.
We do keep trying so there is hope that someday, hopefully within the next 6 months, we can say see ya! Yeah right. 
Why is my evil mind keep saying SHILL?

tell your evil mind to hush up
I've been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking since November 2002, and it's possible for me to produce more lines dictating than using the keyboard.
LOL ... have to admit I get a bit of evil satisfaction from that too. :-) nm
Evil, deceiptful organization! nm

its not money that is root of all evil, it is

Taking the evil out of the world is one thing.
Sending a teenager (18) just out of high school to a country with acknowledged lower drinking age (18) is perhaps contributing to the vulnerability and adding a little evil into that life teens life. No one thinks straight when they are drinking. New drinkers + naive teens equals disaster. Mix in a foreign country with different customs and laws. What were these parents thinking?
I couldn't resist, must be the evil spirits in the air.
Oh man,pure-dee evil stuff! "Worse" when you use
Another definition of satanic is a behavior that is evil , which I think may have been the original
poster's intended meaning.
They must be so frustrated. Gnashing their evil-doing teeth. Trying new bait, tossing out the line.
But we're not gonna BITE! Have I mentioned to you that rabbits bite? Some do, though I don't think they particularly mean it...
worker's comp
Yes you get seen, tell the Doctor/hospital it is a worker's compensation case, they send the bill to the boss, but sometimes the bosses don't like the fact that their premiums may go up because of cases filed against them. This happened to my son, boss made him feel it was his fault for getting hurt on the job, cried about it, then changed his mind and my son told them at the hospital he got hurt on the job but the boss still has not signed the paperwork, so it is now in collection agency and have to straighten out the bill for x-rays and being seen in the ER. My son broke a finger in his left hand, no big deal, but his boss sure made him feel guilty about filing a claim. My son does not work for this company anymore which is a good thing. Of course giving your husband 100.00 is sure way of telling that something is wrong with his boss, maybe too many claims or maybe he is just afraid his premium will go up.
I have never seen a harder worker than
my husband and he can do 2500 tops. He used to QA between 4500 and 5000 daily - so he can really move through reports once he learns the doctor, their style of dictation, etc. I'm on my second VR account and I'm embarrassed to tell you what I can do - I think 600 yesterday? I am dead serious. It is a whole 'nother skill....
A co-worker I once had said that back in the
working at a medical facility, that's how the MTs there normally worked. They sat in the office with the doc and typed the report as he dictated it. Talk about pressure to perform! (But I'll bet when the docs had the MT sitting in their office, their dictation was less sloppy, too!)
worker's comp
Do not quote me on this, but to my understanding if you are an actual employee and they take taxes out, then yes, worker's comp should cover. If you are an independent contractor, then no.
A co-worker of my niece took in a family
When she went to work, they cleaned her out, including her kitchen utensils!!!
Another happy bedroom worker...
My only complaint is that my carpet is cold when I step from my bed 2 inches to my computer during my morning commute...
Basement worker here and hate the 12
steps for my commute! Have a good one!
A co-worker made this last year sm
for a Halloween office party. So cute to see a plate of mice with licorice tails and almond ears. She actually put these on a huge cookie sheet with a Rat Cake in the middle. (rat cake was covered in chocote icing-- inside was a red cake, actually quite delicious.) LOL Rats and mice. .... not too scary for that age group though.

Then your problem is with the MTSO, NOT your co-worker. nm

worker in S. Florida has a bad 'tude..and...sm
wear these shirts and jackets that say something like "hi, we love to help you" - and they look to run away from all shoppers questions...one has to get a manager for civility at Wal-Marts around S. Florida - this is THE TRUTH (been here 28 years).
ALL I EVER see is disgruntled Wal-Mart workers, never shoppers though. But facts are facts, Wal-Mart has opened up 15 stores in China and China WILL be taking over the world but not in my lifetime.
Best of luck!! 
A fellow co-worker said it was all mucked up
last week. I think she's off today though so haven't heard. Wouldn't doubt it.
not eligible for worker's comp
unless you are an employee. ICs are not eligible for worker's comp or unemployment. ICs are expected to carry their own private disability - like AFLAC, etc. - like we can afford that.
Hate to be a downer, just didn't want you to get your hopes up on that one. Sorry to hear about your wrist. Not a good way to start the year. I would check with local assistance office.
Worker's Comp Reports
Hi everyone...I just started typing worker's compensation reports (initials, fu,supps) as well as EMG/NCV reports and PI. What is the charge in the industry? I am hearing anywhere from $7.00/page to 1.35 per audio minute. Most reports are from 7 minutes to 15 minutes so per the inute does not seem right. Anyone out there type medical/legal reports??
Thanks :)
Why I'm FOR unions: They protect the WORKER.

My DD is a social worker and says that she dictates directly into VR
and the report is on her desk when she gets back to the office. She said everyone in her department loves it!
Portal is correct. Co-worker is wrong. nm

In my mind there is a lot more that goes into a good employee/worker (sm)
than production - and you know this as long as you have been in this business!! I would just go on doing what you do best and doing the very best you can and not worry about the figures. Best of luck to you!!
Worker's Comp can be so complicated, and documentation is everything.....
The other complicated issue with this situation is the fact that many physicians are no longer taking on Worker's Comp cases, in new or well established patients, because of the complicated criteria for correct documentation and the long wait on overdue payment from BWC. In my area, several physicians have thrown in the towel with WC cases and no longer handle them. The patients are referred to Occupational Health Services in most cases, or told to go to Fast Track (ER service) for immediate treatment and documentation that is relevant to the injury. It is good if your family physician does accept WC cases. It is also good that he has decided to return the money to his employer and return to the doctor's office and treat the injury as it is, as a work related injury. In a situation like this, Documentation is everything, so the sooner he gets back to the doctor- the Better! Hope all goes well for him.
lol You're no employer, just an unhappy worker trying to cause
Good funny though.
You're a big girl and a skilled worker. SM
If you haven't resolved this problem already, go ahead and do it this morning. You know, as a high-skilled MT you should be making at least 3 times whatever your local minimum wage is. Best wishes.
Yeah, I'll just look into being a migrant farm worker instead then
Reach for those stars!
Don't think the worker privacy acts cover discussions such as this...
more likely they cover things like credit reports, evaluations, etc. It's rude to discuss in front of others, but not illegal...of course, in the US you can sue for anything.
IL Health Care Worker Background Check Act
Type "225 ILCS 46/" in your search engine. It should give you the Health Care Worker Background Check Act for Illinois. There are several proposed amendments regarding non-fingerprint-based ID before the legislature for the 2007-2008 session. I hope this is what you seek.
Excuse me, but who was the health care worker who then disclosed the HIV status?
Ashe's HIV status and career decline. had nothing to do with a healthcare worker disclosing it.
Our neighborhood is all women's names - Robin Ln., Julia Dr. Must be the worker's ladies! :) n

The sister of a co-worker of mine passed away a few weeks before Christmas. Can I still send a *sm*
sympathy card without looking stupid. I have been off on medical leave and various reasons have kept me from getting the card out but I really want to send one.
OK! I'm glad you're back down here. Now don't go back up there and read those evil posts ag
Okay? But I have to leave you now, sadly. Thousands of noble dictating doctors are anxiously awaiting my help with their "dictations"....They're all loading up on chips, drinking lots of soda so they can burp, and then have to go to the bathroom...You know the routine! Off I go to earn some pennies!! But, truly, I am thankful that I have a job!
cherrypicking co-worker issue (meant to post it on this board instead of MQ board) sm...
I need opinions please...I work on a very small account with just a handful of ladies. Because of the nature of the software (trying not to get too specific here) we can see who is working online and what reports they are working on in real-time...
We have one cherrypicker on the account. Instead of using FIFO method, she retrieves the reports by author ID - usually picking the better dictators of course. She knows I busted her and she did admit to it in on our work e-mail (not too bright) which I am saving just in case she gets out of hand - so far I'm still able to make money since really most of the dictators aren't bad.
But every night it's starting to wear on me since she's screwing up turnaround time. I don't really want to cause a big uproar being that it is such a small account and I need to work with her almost every night usually one on one.
What would you all do? I want to handle this as delicate and professional as possible because we can't really afford to lose anyone on this account. In other words, I refuse to stoop to her level by cherrypicking right back.
My boss has asked me several times why so-and-so does so much more than I do...I just bite my lip at that point but one of these days I think I might explode and just open up a can of worms....
