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!
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.
they are liars. nm
Why are you calling prople liars
I noticed you were calling people liars farther down on this page as well as hear. Why would you do that. It just causes problems. Can't you accept other people doing well. You are in one part of the country only. That does not mean you know what everyone in the whole country makes. Can't you realize that or are you a typical New Yorker who thinks that the whole world revolves around New York and nothing else matters. Please let people talk about the questions that are asked without calling them liars.
Here we go again. You call other people liars because YOU can't do
what we do? That is just not very nice. Think about what you've said!
I do acute care. I wouldn't touch clinic work with a 10-foot pole, because I'd starve. Operative notes only, but for four hospitals in one state and one hospital in another state. I don't usually check my line count every day but I can tell you that I do 150 minutes in 5 hours just nearly every day. Rarely do I work longer than that.
Please be nicer to people who have come here offering to help you. I'm not selling anything and I never was sure the OP was, but every time this subject comes up, people come and try to help, only to be called liars and scoffed at.
I hope I don't get myself banned from the board for this, because I'm telling the truth.
You mean Amherst has a bunch of liars also in the office. Seems to be the MQ way.

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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Well Done MTStars!!!

They own MTStars.
Scroll down to bottom, and see. Long story short, they know the ins and outs of this field and never heard anything bad about them.
HTH.

I want the question to be absolutely clear to her (admin) because she is not answering the question. If she can read the replies she needs to say that she can instead of deflecting by not answering the question.
