I AM SORRY TO PUT THIS HERE, BUT I CANNOT GET A REPLY FROM MT STARS.  CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THIS BOARD.  THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. 

I've been with this large clinic acct. since March of 2004. Since starting, they've been growing & going through lots of changes in the way they're running things. I am a part-time IC. I've gotten great audit scores and have been told I'm one of their best MTs on the account (when wanting to switch to doing more on a different acct.)

When I first started, all the work was in a pool. Sometime later, I noticed they were pretty much assigning only certain clinics to me, which they confirmed they'd starting doing it that way & it improved production. All the MTs seemed to be pleased with this. I had mostly decent dictators overall.

Not too long ago, I noticed I'd started getting overall worse dictators. When I asked my supervisor about it, via email, she said nothing had changed, I was just getting the luck of the draw. I had my suspicions that some of those in higher positions that could manipulate the work were giving themselves the good jobs, & even voiced something to that effect--slightly. But, I did notice after I'd tentatively voiced my suspicions, I started to get some of my better dictators back.

However, last week I noticed a drastic & complete change. I started getting some of the worse dictators from clinics I usually didn't work on--not some of the good dictators from that clinic, mind you, but the worse ones almost consistently. My suspicions were confirmed a few days ago by a broad email sent to us all that there had been some work-pool changes. In effect, it was saying those of us who weren't doing well by their criteria, i.e, QA utilization, production, audit scores, accountability & quality, were not going to be getting work when it was available, but it would go to the ones who meet all this criteria, and that basically we were going to be getting the junk, to paraphrase.  Since work usually doesn't download until later in the morning, they were going to save any morning work for the "good" MTs.

Now, I know that I am meeting all those criteria, and I am so upset by the fact I'm getting all the junk now. From reading this board, I'd thought I'd learned that companies will give full-time employees the better work instead of the ICs, that this somehow is better for the company. Could anyone advise me of this? Could there be another reason for this that mgmt doesn't want to tell us, other than trying to attack our work & say it's our fault?

I wonder if he really needs to see some kind of a counselor about his life in general, but my brother is very hard to suggest things to.  But, one thing I do know, if they don't get a handle on this boy's smart-mouth and terrible attitude toward his dad and his grandmother who is helping out, I just believe they are in for some horrific years to come.  I've raised 2 teenagers, one who gave me problems and one who did not, and this is different from what I had to deal with and also at a younger age.  His dad just seems resigned to the fact that, well, this is how it is and how it's going to be.  I can't just sit by and let the whole family crash and burn, but there's only so much that I feel I can do.  The grandmother (my mother) is helping, but frankly her "mouth" is about as bad as the teenager's.  It's constant back and forth/back and forth between her and him - you would't believe the tone of their voices and the things they say to each other, and then the things he says to his dad.  I learned a long time ago that "tone of voices" matters a great deal in general conversation as well as arguments, and to tell you the truth, my mother can be meaner than anyone I know when she gets started. 

I'm sorry ths is so long - I guess I got carried away but I might as well leave it now that it is typed.  It's just a family problem that we have.

I'm not sure how many people they are hiring but you shouldn't stress too hard over it. Do the best you can.

Anyone use ShortHand and docuscribe together?  With my old company i was using Word and shorthand.  I had a macro set up to take me from blank to blank.  I am lost on this new system.  Any ideas on how to set this up?  Thanks in advance!
