So, imagine the company that does not allow QA to give feedback, what does the MT learn then?

Posted By: anonymous MT on 2005-07-13
In Reply to: Your error made me chuckle, which is, ya know, fitting for the error. Not a big deal, and no we ALL - QA

They learn that they've got no problems, they're not making any mistakes as they don't hear from QA, their work must be TERRIFIC.

MTs need feedback, no matter how long they've been in the profession. They don't need nasty feedback, just reminders if they are making errors to keep track of themselves. I know if I get feedback that I've done something wrong in a report it certainly makes me be more careful and I've even had to change some of my shortcuts to not make some mistakes.

    learn from your feedback, that's all.
    nm
    just curious - the QA should give feedback sm
    But you have to take into consideration if there's a huge backlog to be proofed QA person may have not had time to get it to you yet.  I find Google VERY helpful.  If you can at least get the name of city/state for clinic you might try what it sounds like in the search engine with the city/state.  There are several websites that are helpful for dr names/hospitals, etc.
    be sure to give this feedback to the physician.

    When do physicians give feedback to MTs?
    x
    I always give feedback. it's not a matter
    which I know happens to a point.  But it's just gotten to the point that it's happening too much and they are things that DEFINITELY should not be overlooked.
    Advice to YOU..1st learn to spell before insulting poster and trying to give advice...sm

    KT, is there any way you could give us a hint as to who this company is
    If this company has a recruiter like this pushing and pushing to do interviews and hire people and then pulls out, I do not think any of us would want to work for that company for fear of what happened to you. I truly sympathize with what happened to you. Although I do not have kids, I too need to work just to pay bills, keep a roof over my head, etc. To work for a company like this would make me hesitant about job security.

    I do hope you will consider maybe telling us who this was. I also want to say that I admire the fact that you didn't bash the company or the recruiter, unlike so many people on this board do.
    Not that I don't want to give you the company I work for...sm
    It is Alphamed, but I wouldn't recommend it to you because I have hardly any work right now so I know they aren't hiring. If you did work there you would go broke if you didn't have a husband to back up your pay.
    If your company does not give you the codes..
    which I am sure they will I will be glad to assist you.  I can possibly get you the codes tomorrow as I will have my daughter scan and copy it and then email it to me and I will email it to you.  Most likely your company will get that to  you. Good luck...
    An idea of who this company is or where located would give you

    I am planning to give this company Manipha
    Global some test files. From there I can verify who's telling the truth. The forum readers will definitely hear a feedback from me in a week or two.
    What do you think your company will give you for Christmas: (Survey, I guess, LOL)

    Can you give the initials of this company? Sure don't want to apply here! Feel bad for you. nm

    oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
    i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.

    there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
    Imagine that!!
    My DH just got a promotion at work.  It is a pretty big promotion.  He sat down and talked to me and told me how happy he is to have me at home working, because he feels he is where he is because I pick up so much of the slack with the kids, etc. and he gets to focus on his career.  For a while I was considering getting out of the business (major burnout), but now I'm here to stay!!!  He told me now that he is making more, not to worry about working so hard -- take some more time off for myself!!!  Am I lucky or what!!!!
    Imagine that.....
    You are blessed with a great fella! And, indeed, you are a lucky lady. Something tells me that you deserve this, however. :) Enjoy!
    Imagine this...
    You are in charge of let's say 50 MTs... and they all want to chit chat. I don't think that would make a very productive supervisor.

    Does it bother you when you are working and someone, either in your home on on the phone, wants to chit chat?

    With all the changes and consolidating offices, I'm sure the supervisors have more than their share of stressors. Just look at the supervisor turnovers we all speak of. They need to do their jobs as efficiently as possible and being chummy with MTs is counterproductive to that end.

    I'm not saying they should shrug off any pertinent MT problem that has to do with work by any means, but if work-related conversation evolves into anything else, I can see why the supervisor would want to get off the phone.

    I've had about 4 supervisors since being with MQ, 3 within the last 6 months, and I correspond by email mainly. I find that much more efficient, but when I return their calls, they are very helpful and nice. I am a talker so I avoid the phone at all costs because that would totally take away from work time or fun time ;-)

    And I'm just wondering... what kind of favors?
    I can't imagine
    They generally schedule 1 patient every 15 minutes to make up for those who don't show. With outsourcing they still have to dictate so I don't see how that would let them see more.
    I can't imagine...sm
    My highest day ever was 2600 lines and I couldn't sleep that night, my hands were so painful. I rarely do more than 2100 lines in a day because my hands just can't handle more than that.

    I do yoga and work out by walking three miles daily, and if it weren't for that, I don't think I could do this for a living because its murder on the hands. And I'm only 42 years old.

    I dont know how you do it. Kudos to you!

    Can you imagine Taylor's reaction if (when, fingers crossed) he wins?  He seems to appreciate everything so much.  Vote, vote, vote!!!!
    I cannot imagine
    I cannot imagine my reports still having to be checked after two months, I have never gone more than two DAYS before being released from QA.  Are you SURE you are not making legit errors?  If you truly believe that your reports are 100% accurate, then I agree with the previous poster - you need to look elsewhere for employment. 
    Imagine that....
    Someone has a job that consists of constanly making changes. I guess that requires a Master of Arts in Changology degree.
    I would imagine she would like to
    inserts a period, spaces appropriately, and capitalizes the first letter of the next sentence.

    If you are not familiar with VBE, the easiest way to create a your new macro will probably be to type a few sentences without punctuation in a Word doc. Place your typing cursor at the end of the first sentence. Go to create new macro, name it, and assign the shortcut keys you would like to use. The macro recorder should then show on your screen.

    Insert a period at the end of the first sentence and space the appropriate number of spaces. Then capitalize the first letter of the next sentence. Turn off the macro recorder. Go to the end of the next sentence and try the assigned shortcut keys.

    If they require you to do these during your normal work hours so you are losing money to attend the training/conference, etc. Heck even if you do it outside of work hours, you are giving up your free time to do it and thus should be paid IMO.

    I was curious to see if most of the companies do pay, as mine doesn't and it really steams me.
    I just imagine myself as a bag lady nm.

    Just imagine-- no worries
    I would love to wake up every morning and have no worries about gas prices going up even higher, whether or not I can afford my utility bill, whether or not I as a single woman will be able to find someone to help me with heavy work and things I can't do by myself, etc.  No matter what state of chaos the world is in, they just go on about their daily routine, just like they always have.  They also help each other-- what a novel idea.  Their lifestyle is sounding better all the time-- a big plus for me is that I already have a horse.
    Same here!! They get so nutz on here. Could you imagine
    what it would like to put all these same women in the same room? It could go one of 2 ways..sweet as pie to one another OR .......AAAH!! Oops i think i splt thgs rihgt up three!! LOL
    I just can't imagine what these people are going through.
    I watched a CNN clip on the net this morning and can't stop crying.   I'm going to try to pull it together and work a bit extra today so that I can have extra $$ to send to the Red Cross and I'm going to pray a lot.
    Very original!! Can only imagine what it would be
    hahaha
    Absolutely - I can't imagine doing anything (sm)
    else (despite all it's faults). 
    Imagine. And I really liked your posts.

    Sorry to see you go. I must admit I was shocked at some of the stuff that was thrown at you in this female dominated environment.


    So sorry to hear about your uncle. I'm very close to my uncles (my mom's brother and brother-in-law). Just lost my mom in April. It's been really rough on all of us.


    I actually heard Ringo across the airwaves in our teeny tiny local supermarket today. I'm pushing my cart and singing, "Let me help, if your child needs a daddy, let me help. . . ." :)


    I asked the fresh faced clerk if she knew who it was singing and she rolled her eyes and said, "I have no idea."


    I did tell her that it was Ringo Starr, one of the last 2 remaining Beatles and though she obviously was not the least bit interested, the woman behind me said, "You got that right! These kids need to take music appreciation classes."


    God we're getting old. :)


    For what it is worth, we have 2-year-old twin granddaughters and their favorite song is "Love Me Do."


    My husband and I married with matching Lennon rings engraved with "Imagine" and he does the candle thing every year on the anniversary of John's death. This year was hard, marking #25.


    All John was saying, was give peace a chance.


    Too bad about the people on this board that will never see beyond the scope of their own insecurities.


    Godspeed RadGuy.


    Peace!


     


    I can't imagine why my note
    has all of these hits, especially since it wasn't a general question and had nothing to do with transcription. Must have been a slow work day :)
    I couldn't imagine.....
    ...holding the baby while typing. I have 15-month-old twins and THANKFULLY neither gave me that problem. I think if they had I probably would have tried every different toy bar for the bouncy seat or swing until something worked. Something comfy for her to lay against maybe. If nothing works and you can't manage typing and holding her then adjusting your schedule for when your husband is there would be my only thought. Good luck. Mine are giving me CLIMBING issues at the moment, oh brother!!!!!
    No, it doesn't pay better, but I imagine they take the job...

    as an MT while looking for a position somewhere as a doctor.  There are a lot of doctors and not enough open jobs for everyone there.  It's hard to find a good job there, because you'll probably have thousands competing against you, but MT jobs seem to be in high demand now so they're easier to get, especially if you're already trained in the medical field.


    I've never been myself, but I can imagine it's
    gorgeous by what I've seen in pictures and stuff. I would love to visit one day. Have you spoken with her? From what I could tell just on TV, they both seemed to have loved each other so much. I know that must be hard for her and the kids, especially something so sudden.

    Hopefully she will continue some of the things her husband did, such as the zoo. From what I read, it seemed he did a lot beyond his TV shows.
    better yet, imagine a MT who is professional!?

    Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to

    do what is right.  If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child.  "you suck"  That is so immature.


    She is responding to you and you are eating her alive.  Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it. 


    I am really astonished at how people can act on here.  Would you treat people like this in person?  If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends. 


    Remember we are all "HUMAN." 


     


    can't imagine you'd be so forgiving if it were your money she took! nm

    Well, its' not only that, but the money you must pay - I can't imagine it'd be worth
    working for anyway. Let's say you have two children at 110.00 a week a piece. That's almost 800.00 a month. Where is the justification in that? I am with the above poster too. I have raised 3 doing part-time MT early in the morning and then late at night after they go to sleep. It's worked like a charm for our family and I praise God for MT at home!
    That is tragic. I can't even imagine. You are right, they don't know their boundaries...
    and one of my greatest fears is something like that happening. Fortunately, we have no standing water like that around here. I think the very worst that can happen are stray dogs attacking our children since we live in the country. I can only pray my dogs would defend and get in the way of them/us before then...but that would be tragic also!

    You just never know.
    I was heartbroken to the core last year when an 8 year old was accidentally run over by his mother's mini van while playing on a driveway with a hill. The car went out of gear. I just sobbed like a baby for those parents and siblings..
    The dangers are very real and something I don't like to think about...

    making my puppy or dog uncomfortable with dry skin.

    Just try it, wash your hair or body in DAWN soap and you will be itching like crazy. It dries your hair out horribly, leaving you with flyaway frizzy hair. But talk about itching, OUCH AND UNCOMFORTABLE.

    Sorry, but that's just how I feel.

    Imagine if every patient in the country
    If patients put as much pressure on medical facilities NOT to offshore their information, as when they do regarding other things these facilities do that are not in their patients' best interests, someday they would all have to sit up and listen.

    Even if you didn't have the wherewithall to physically CHANGE DOCTORS, making it understood repeatedly that you will NOT BE AMUSED if you find your records have been offshored (insinuting ever so gently about the possibility of legal action), that could be just as effective. Those guys are all scared-to-death of being sued.
