Mentors?

Posted By: Curious on 2008-01-02
In Reply to: I'm sorry that you have crappy QA. I wish I had you to edit. sm - A good QA

Could you please tell me what a mentor is supposed to do? I supposedly was being mentored when I first started but cannot recall it happening. Now I was told I no longer need a mentor, and I am curious as to what I missed. Which company offers mentors that actually mentor?

SS Mentors
Did you ask the SoftScript mentors or try the SS help line before you posted here?
Anyone see the ad for AIM for mentors? sm
They state that they don't pay you until you've been with them for SIX weeks because that's when they first get paid for work you do?  That's ridiculous to ask anyone to wait 6 weeks for their first paycheck!  
Rude Mentors
I hear you!. Just grit your teeth and bear it. Soon you will have enough experience to make a change. If making you feel dumb strokes their ego, play the game, learn all you can from them, and move on to kinder pastures.
They also do not pay mentors decent money
so no one I know would never work for them. Companies like that do not need to be around.
Not all have the warm and fuzzy feelings about mentors
I learned transcription inhouse in a hospital when I found out about a person being able to make more than just their salary each week by being fast and that I was. I thought it would be a piece of cake, hey I had worked in hospitals, both adult and children, doctor offices and the like. It took me a year of her training before I was put on incentive. My boss (mentor?) got upset with me 1 time and put me on 3 days work a week when I had been working full so then got a parttime job for those 2 days until the boss lady HAD to ask me to return. Their work was heavy in the first place, but that was what she did. Another time she told me after a person typed over 50 minutes a day (I was the only 1 doing this out of about 6 or 7 transcriptions)that then that person would stop and do paper work. I told her that would not work as it would only apply to me and I would have to go further up about that. Lastly when I left after 7 years working in transcription I had an outgoing evaluation and she put down average (instead of outstanding, superior) for attendance and told her I had not missed 1 single day of the last 3 years and she would have to give me the best mark on that if nothing else. She said she really had not checked her records. I am glad I learned but warm and fuzzy, not here. Reading above noticed you said only 2 more years until retirement. What is that? I am past retirement age now but this Friday am due to start drawing full social security payments. I am so excited and hope to continue working as the money will be twice of what I am making now. Sooooooooo excited.
