Hateful notes from supervisors

Some of these supervisors and MTSOs must be the most unhappy people in the world and must hate themselves. No way a normal person could send out horrible hateful notes to their staff. Wish they would get some professional help, just for their own sake.

regarding MQ wanting e-mail from supervisors, etc. Why? Who cares what supervisors want?
It's like little kids wanting recognition from their parents. These supervisors for the most part are anonymous. Who really cares about e-mails from them unless they are offering more money or a bonus? There is nothing else I care to hear from them. I do my work with or without them. I figure everytime I get a supervisor e-mail, I am paying for it with my time and I am also paying that supervisor to state the obvious, either the account is behind or caught up. Really, I am paying the supervisor's salary.
And you'll almost never get just Op notes. Probably get mixed acute care - op notes, discharge su

You know, you are the one who is hateful.
on this board anonymously and bash her. Why? If you don't like the company, why not leave it? If Dorothy is that much of a problem, why are you there?
As if you know, hateful hag!

Not hateful, was actually trying to be funny..

Nothing to do with hateful opinions
but more to do with reality. If you run a "well-structured" daycare and you type when the kids are napping or watching movies, there is no way that equals an 8 hr a day full-time job. The majority of us here have been through or are in the process of raising kids. There isn't a kid in this world that doesn't decide at various times they are not going to take a nap, the crying the getting out of bed or up from their mat, etc. don't you have to stop to deal with that? Two hours max is about all you are gonna get out of a daycare nap time setting. So unless you plop them in front of movies for the rest of the day (and they sit there like perfect little angles, which will never happen given the attention span of children) how do you pull off working what you make to sound like a full time job? None one is being hateful it is just real hard to pull the wool over the eyes of people in your same profession.
Frankly, this all sounds hateful. sm
Saying you hate coddling minorities, etc., is pretty scary. What's wrong with a play that includes the full religious and cultural beliefs of the season rather than just yours?
And yes, you could probably tell there weren't any blacks in the audience, but you couldn't tell if there were any Jews.
There's a lot of hate here and a lot of xenophobia. Frankly, the attitudes don't sound much like Jesus at all.
my, my, how hateful. That's good advertising...
for the AHDI. Ahem. Your grammar and structure are lovely and correct, though. I'm sure you passed the exam with flying colors.
I used to joke that every time I considered the CMT I got pregnant: end of CMT plans. In all seriousness, it's a lot of money to spend. I was chapter president of our local AAMT for a couple of years and I put in a lot of hours setting up stuff for the CMTs to get credits; it's quite frankly what it all revolved around. A lot of those women have spent a PILE of money over the years keeping current with their certification and I admire their tenacity. Not one of them that I know personally, however, has ever benefited monetarily or professionally by their CMT; it is a personal satisfaction only.
Unfortunately, it's not as simple as a forest/trees analogy nor as simple as a having a "grudge" against the AAMT - oh, excuse me, AHDI. There's been a lot of broken promises and dreams over the years and some people have real reason to be bitter about it.
The exam is a good one. I proctored an exam, I've looked at the materials, and I've seen what it takes to maintain. It's good stuff. But unfortunately, in the end, it's only for your own personal satisfaction. Different strokes.
You don't think calling someone a liar is hateful? lol
nm
i can use my real name to tell you that you are a hateful person MT2...so THERE!
mean people suck
they are jealous and hateful of anyone, family or friends who are successful.
They think they don't have to work too hard or follow the rules of society. Sometimes they embellish the truth or tell lies of ommission to have people feel sorry for them. There are lots of signs relative to how other people think that this person is way off base. Sometimes all they do is want to sleep. Other times they are on the phone for hours at a time. Something is off.
It doesn't sound HATEFUL to me, this person is just saying that suddenly
those who celebrate Christmas are forced to conform for a few minority religions? That's not right. A friend of mine who is Jewish regularly has her children out of school during Hannukah and the school doesn't penalize her children for it. As far as Christmas plays are concerned, I don't think it's right to force children to be in a play that consists of a bunch of different beliefs if they are not of that particular belief system. If that is how it is going to be, then they need to completely do away with Christmas/Holiday plays altogether. There are many holiday songs out there that don't recognize ANY religion at all. If religion is the issue, than children can easily sing Santa Clause is coming to town or, Jingle Bells, etc. without offending since those songs lean more toward the commercial aspect of the holiday season. And then, those who want to participate in separate PRIVATE plays can do so. There are options that can be chosen without hurting anyone's feelings about their religious beliefs.
You sure sound like an "angry, hateful, bitter old bigot" in posts above!!
Typical hateful liberal. Taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune.
You're a real piece of work.
New supervisors at MQ
I had an email from my new supervisor asking me to call her at my convenience. I did, we talked 20 minutes or so. I was surprised. This has happened in a long time, but I personally haven't had changes in supervisors for a while now.
new supervisors at MQ
Thank you! That's EXACTLY what I meant! A group mailing! It's not like I want the woman to show up at my front door with a dozen roses! BTW, what's ASR?
Supervisors
I know my job very well and the supervisors are coming to me for the correct information. The only time you see them is when they can't figure it out or to let you know they are still the boss.
supervisors say they do not know
either, are waiting just like the rest of us
Does anyone have personable MQ supervisors, or are they
It would be nice to have a supervisor I know a little bit about, but she just sends out job number updates and asks for extra help when we get close to out of turnaround. When I do call for a question or something, her attitude is more or less "just get off the phone and get work done" and I just have no idea who she is. Its scary knowing someone like that is in charge, someone who does not want to take the time to go over whatever problem you have and listen, its like we're disposable or something. Used to be different before we all got dispersed by region, my main office I could call and chit chat and get favors and it wasn't all about me working my butt off for them, but give and take so both parties are happy. I don't know, its just getting weird. 
Check with your supervisors.

Wow. Is this from your immediate supervisors or from the higher ups/HR, etc.? Are you being

Get rid of superfluous supervisors.

Good for you. Even though supervisors and/or
they DO NOT because there is a click among them. If an MT is let go from hospital A and applies to hospital B (in the same state/area) you better believe that A and B supervisors are "girlfriends." I personally am waiting to run into my old supervisor (hopefully with her husband or grown kids) so I can find out if she is still cheating on her husband. Payback is a B**** and she was nothing but a W***E.
Yep. You're right about the supervisors.
supervisor in all that time, Bernadette. Loved her. The last one was so horrible I told her ass off and got fired. Pffffttttt.
there are a lot of really good supervisors, too...sorry to generalize (nm)
xx
Your are right. All from India. Supervisors communicate via IM.
Communication is difficult at best. Pay is penalized for anything below 98%, which would be fine if your QA work was not done by people in India. You can only imagine what your checks look like. Not pretty.
What traits do successful supervisors have?
I want to know what I can do to become the best supervisor possible. Personally, I have had only one great supervisor in all my years and what I found is that she displayed, fairness, objectivity, a sense of humor, consistency. Can you tell me what your idea of the perfect supervisor is?
You have no idea what the other MTs behave like! The supervisors have learned thru
experience by your fellow nut-case MTs to stay away - leave them alone. Seriously, you would be amazed, absolutely AMAZED, at the rash of hate emails that would be generated back if some poor supervisor tried to be pleasant and dropped all MTs a Hello note! Its SICK, but true. I can totally relate, and am too afraid to contact anyone. Even MTs who seem friendly - they'll thank you for introducing yourself, and turn right around and rip you to a superior for harassment. ITS UNREAL OUT THERE!! If I were you, I would really take the high road and just send your new supe an email and introduce yourself!! He/she would probably really be touched. Again, nothing personal - no, you don't want them on your doorstep, but I assure you, there is a reason you're not getting any introductory emails! Its called the MTs have set the stage for this by their freakish behavior en masse in the past!
supervisors have a couple hundred mt's to "worry about"? please!
if they are smart enough to be a supervisor (?!?) how come they aren't smart enough to send a group e-mail?
based on posts below regarding supervisors not e-mailing, etc
 does anyone know what a work at-home supervisor's job duties area and what salary they are paid. looking for a supervisory job so i can quit the grind of transcribing but need to know more about duties and pay.
Where's all our supervisors on this question who have to work extra to keep
accounts within turn around time. what happens when account falls out and you can't keep it up by yourself?
Lots of supervisors responded to posts below.
Why not? They would learn a lot.
First, I doubt very much that lots of supervisors posted below. Please!
Yeah, an anonymous message board so they are a supervisor if they say so, just as I say I'm an editor. Supervisors do what they are TOLD to do by their bosses. Period. Any company - any industry - any planet. Oh, yeah, a supervisor is gonna read here that a grand total of 2 anonymous MTs from unknown companies want to get friendly introductory emails. This supervisor is gonna learn from this and go to his/her boss and say she should send friendly emails causing whining anonymous posters on MTStars said they want it? You are too funny! And if you a supervisor who would do this, I guarantee you won't be one for long!! You'll be back down at the bottom of the food chain, probably at a new company, wondering why your new supervisor isn't sending you a friendly email!! And would the supervisor who read that 2 Mts wanted to hear from their supervisor also ignore that the masses then flamed supervisors and said they NEVER wanted to hear from their supes? The only thing a supervisor would glean from this board is how the fish in the bottom of the pond fight and bite and eat each other! No one with an half ounce of intelligence in a supervisory position is gonna come here for YOUR help! Now that is funny!! This board has a reputation for being the lowest of the low in the world of MT boards. Don't flatter yourselves!
Has talking to the supervisors not helped up there. What are they thinking.
:
Consider yourself lucky to have supervisors who are fair minded.
dd
how about supervisors who facilitate the cherry picking...
I HATE IT! So unfair.
so lots of MTs are liars and supervisors are superstars who do not appear on MTStars.
Whatever.
even supervisors fall prey to the clics and clans--sm
the others think they are buttering up her good side, to get what they think they want and trying to make others look bad. That happens even on this board, as I had said earlier, before my post was removed. Supervisors fall on one side of the fence or the other, just as well as lay people. Personally, I wouldn't trust any of them. Just do your job and turn a deaf ear and blind eye to all the office politics. Things will be better down the road. Trust in that. Good luck to you.
the work first goes to the supervisors (if they have to type too) and they pick the best. Then filt
If I work during the day I get junk dictation, if I get on later or after midnight the work is normal. These people you call "leads" have to type too and are at an advantage to get the best dictation. I guess they feel this is a bennie. They can't see our face so what do they care, we are like a number in Auschitz to them.
You read my post ABSOLUTELY correct. Supervisors don't need my appreciation nor
do I need their's. We all just want to get paid if you are honest. I don't have time to worry if I am appreciated by MQ. I just want them to pay me for an honest day's work. I guess that shows they like me, they really, really like me. Talk is cheap. I get it all the time from MQ CEO/management, how much I am appreciated. I just want to paid for my time and don't want to hear all the talk. I mean who really cares. So if they appreciate me and don't pay me for my efforts, what do I do with this "appreciation"? Bank it?
Supervisors are a token figure-head for the weak-minded
who need guidance and approval. Why would anyone keep anybody who needed constant help on doing their job employed. I know my job and what is required. No one at this point in time can really advise me on what to do although as NEW supervisors come and go, they do give it a shot in order to justify their jobs. But they come and go and I stay. Buy a clue.
I have heard so many people rationalize cherrypicking and seen too many supervisors not deal with i
It's a scourge on this profession ... like the folks who gratefully accept absurdly dreadful line rates because -- "it's better than nothing"
It's why we're all making LESS than we did 10 years ago, 15 years ago ... made worse because that's even without adjusting for inflation ...
Supervisors aren't reachable through anonymous message boards. You have to actually write them or
call them at work.
ER notes
Don't worry. It has been my experience being a Transcriptionist for a huge hospital that I loved the ER notes the most. They are really pretty much abbreviated H&P's and are sometimes the most interesting reports of all. Not nearly as difficult as some surgeries or discharges notes can be. Simple and brief and sometimes a really good story.
OP NOTES
I just started doing op notes at the hospital I work in and it is hard as there are so many different instruments they use that I have never even heard of. I use a surgical word book and Google a lot. That's about it.
To me, O.R. notes
 get really boring. I prefer discharges - just my personal opinion. Plus once I get used to them, I can go really fast.
Doc notes
I do two internal medicine Docs, SOAP notes only and minor procedures and love it I also did other specialities, but all that was lost to outsourcing to INDIA!
op notes
Operative notes. Perhaps as far a leap from clinic work as is possible. Not something for you to jump into with no experience.
Not op notes but
This site has brand names of surgical instruments. You can choose by speciality and manufacturer also.
http://ptiresource.50megs.com/about.html
Even for op notes? sm
I can see where being paid this way would have its advantages when doing DS and work types where there is a lot of paper shuffling, looking for values, etc., but I am concerned about op notes where the dictation is speedier.
OP notes
I love doing OP notes. They are so interesting. Anyway there is a website that I use now and then and it is
www.mt911.com it also has samples.com on it and has alot of different samples.
Also a good reference book is The surgical word book by Saunders.
Hope this helps.
