QA gone mad, literally!!!

This story may sound unbelievable, but I was just IMing my friend and told her I was going to let everyone in on what is happening at this company.  About a month ago, I was hired in at a company doing soap notes.  The accounts are so basic and easy, you can practically do them in your sleep.  Of course being a new hire, I was put on 100% QA, but then the first week went by, then the second week,and I was still on 100% QA without any errors whatsoever.  I inquired about this and was told I was still going to be on 100% QA until they deem it necessary for me to come off.  I started IMing my girlfriend who has been at this particular company for 15 months.  I complained about the QA status, and she said she has been on 100% QA for 15 months.   I told her this was ridiculous and I stopped doing work for them immediately. If her work was that bad, why keep her on to work for them for 15 months?  If my work was bad why not let me go?  I had absolutely no errors, but put on QA hold until the QA person deemed you worthy because of the way she felt about you.  Also, when training on Gotomeeting.com and she shared her computer, she showed us that she had over 1000 jobs to QA.  The reason being she keeps people on QA for her own pleasure and this purposely holds people back.  I am hesitant to mention this company's name, but if you email me, I will gladly share.  I will say that it is located in Michigan.  Is this not an abuse of authority?  Is there any reason to have someone on QA for 15 months.  If an MT need QA 100% for 15 months, would you not let that MT go?  The more QA work she gets, the fatter her paycheck is,right?  Have any QA person every held an MT on QA without any errors and if so why?


Thanks

You probably took it literally without
doing any further research to see what he meant.


I would never do it literally at the same time.
I have more than one job now because the work has been so low for so long at my primary place, even with 4 accounts there. If I'm out of work one place and go do some work at another while I'm having down time, I don't consider that working at two places at the same time.
Some of us are literally catching their sm
breath to do 35 hours a week. It is a total slap in the face to the women in their 60's who built this company to throw this into the mix. I feel I will NEVER have benefits of health insurance again and since WMX has no real 401K, at least not covered by the company, we are being put out on the ice floe to die.
I think the OP is taking it too literally sm
because of course nobody can consistently produce 10 reports every hour they work.  I took the question more generally, like they probably expect about 80 reports in 8 hours, or 400 reports a week.
I thought it was hilarious!!! I literally LOL'd when I saw it!

Is that why the Jobs Boards are literally saturated with their ads?...nm

Do you literally mean per report/patient or by the page? sm
I get 2.50 a page. It's not the greatest pay, but I have a courier that drives 30 miles to my house everyday to bring me a tape and no one can take it from me. I have one American doctor that I have created all kinds of Expanders for, so I can fly through his work pretty quickly. What good is it if you are being paid 20 cpl if there is no work, which is happening everywhere! I haven't done the math, but even if I'm only making 7 cpl, it's there everyday and I can count on it.
There are literally thousands of companies and hospitals and doctor sm
offices to work for. As a service owner, I would not even speak to someone who has not even started school about a job.

The field is solid, regardless of what you might read on here. There are over 200,000 MTs in the U.S. and many thousand more in offshore.

However, don't believe the matchbook covers. You will not make $60,000 the first year out of school!
