My supe puts NOTHING in an email

other than her little account update. She will NOT respond to an email (nothing in writing) to any questions at all -- she picks up the phone and calls. I have sent her several emails with concerns -- NO RESPONSE -- but my phone will ring at home -- I guess I will start recording my phone conversations with her !!!
I have asked for a LONG TIME about my account "going bye bye", and because the work was no longer there. Only this week did she say that it had gone to VR -- she would not put that in writing, or even hint that the account was going by the way, and believe me, I have asked her where the work has gone. When you have been on an account for a long time, an MT knows when the works "dries up." Doesn't she?
So basically, the supe's responsibilities are to email account updates 2 or 3 times a day, beg for the MT to take on ANOTHER new account that she has been handed down to her team (to slow the MT down), beg for the MT to work WHEN SHE NEEDS YOU (not when you were scheduled to work -- because the overseas MT's was not going to work that day and she needs you, or ASR equipment was down), be team cheerleader in an email occasionally when you have made HER look good, take care of the little kids they have at home with them. That pretty well describes the supe on my team.

Email your supe to make sure they activated your work pool
I had this happen at another company. The supe had failed to add any accounts to my work pool.
Should I say something to my supe?
I just got someone's report they transcribed with the header typed as follows:
CT OF THE CHEST WITH CONTRAST @ 2:00 A.M. 9/22/05
I've never seen the @ symbol used this way! Clever, yes, but appropriate? I don't want to get someone in trouble but I'm wondering if I should tell my supe? Account is not the strictest with punctuation, but this just really floored me! Should I just mind my own damn business?
Please leave an email or email me at my address....click the email button. Thanks...nm

Did try - it caused my supe to giggle :{ NM

Your supe sounds like ours! (Except ours ain't married). (sm)
Ours is a pathological liar, and an outright head case. up and down like a yo-yo, so I think she should get her meds readjusted! And just like yours, ours goes and tells supposedly *confidential* things about other employees. When that gets boring, she lies. Boy, does she LIE! But even though some have been the types of lies that should have gotten her fired, she is still there. Yet if we so much as come in to work 5 min. late, she's ready to have us sacked. Never mind that she comes in late, takes 2 hr. lunches, and leaves 1-2 hrs. early! She sits in her office all day with the door shut and does NOTHING but surf the internet, and then has the gall to actually SCREAM at us if we fall behind in our line counts.
Why was she hired, you ask? Because HER supervisor is just as much of a jerk-off as she is. So of course she has to hire someone even more pathetic, so she doesn't look bad. Its all about image. Make that next Lexus payment, but never mind not being an ethical person. Management at that place is so corrupt, you'd think our establishment was a 3rd World country, or something.
I talked to my supe and she said the same thing.
She then said that some people can make 1800 lines a day on that account so it can be done but I guess not by me. I have to work from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. to get it all in and I do not want to have to work like that. Too much computer time makes me cranky.
Usually bonuses are not under a supe's control
Employee Relations or your supe, I imagine. SM
Sorry, but I'm not going to give out any names/emails/phone on this forum. You must have some contact information, I'd imagine.
I send my nat'l supe/family sweets
My private offices get a beautiful basket of food every winter holiday season and my supervisor at a national I moonlight for on weekends gets a gift to the home with sweets for the family/kids.....
same supe 5 years, help desk always decent
5000 employees here in the U.S. and 500+ accounts. Never had a bad experience with help desk; treat them decent, they will return decent. Several supervisors have ran same accounts for years. With a huge company like this there will always be some disgruntled employees. Pros and cons to all companies....I left twice to 2 other companies and returned.
Hey, my family puts the FUN in dysFUNctional!
RadGuy, you could start a blog and publicly post your family's antics for the whole world to see. Just kidding.... It sounds as if a cruise or weekend getaway is in order!
Official policy puts it best . . .
from the 2002 AAMT Book of Style:
"Obscenities, profanities, and vulgarities do not belong in a patient's record unless they are part of direct quotations that are essential to a report."
In 20+ years of transcribing, mostly psychiatry, with, as one might imagine, a lot of profanity, I've always just typed whatever the clinician quoted the patient as saying, and have never had a complaint.
Good luck,

How about when the acct. mgr. hand-picks easy reports and puts them in the que of less qualified/tal
Then the rest of us are stuck listening to Ho Chi Minh struggling through a neurosurgical op note because we're "more skilled and able to handle it," and end up making about 50 cents an hour. When you think about it, it's easy to get "punished" for not sucking at this job and the rest of us end up pulling the slack for the dead lumber that took a 2-week correspondence course and have to be spoon-fed easy reports for reasons unknown to me.
MTStars free program is wonderful and puts out a professional invoice!!! nm

Doc is using software to do his own reports that puts the ® symbol after trade drug names and
I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a software program, maybe voice recognition, that does this? (I coudn't access the VR board to ask). This is one doctor in a practice that I transcribe for and I usually do his transcription for him, but the last time I logged into their computer to send them their files, there were reports in his file that I didn't transcribe that have this ® behind the trade names. I want to do a little research before talking to the practice. TIA
A friend of mine puts her fork in and twists the kernals on it and then eats it.
It's not as messy this way.
Stating you are "seasoned editor" at 18 years, guess this puts me in the higher-ups at my 33+
it would seem to me that you, with your experience, should let her know being a nurse alone does not make 1 a good MT. Like I said, I think a person should get some education in this field, having an RN does not necessarily mean a good transcriptionist. I cannot believe the posts I read on this thinking what a dream job just because I, want to stay home with the kids, want to keep my animals company and think easy because I don't have to leave my home to work. Any MT worth their salt does not do this job just for selfish reasons.

I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY
e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place. The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you. If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

I intended to email it- already email the mods to remove

Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone. The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write.

address for a similar type of *job opportunity* today, although it was not this person's name. I can't believe the presumptiveness of some of these people!

Hey MI-MT, could you email me please? sm
I'd really like to find out where you're working, if you don't mind saying. I'm looking for oncology work too. Thanks!
Not sure how to do the email.
It is hard to meet people here. Can see the Strip from my upstairs window, but not much of a gambler. Not quite ready for the senior center yet, but bingo can be fun. I'm a hockey fan, so golf would kill me.
How can you let someone email you from here?
What is the way to let someone contact you w/o putting your email address?
Email me if you like
There should be a reply by email option. I don't see it for you, but if you want to email me you can.
