Yep, for instance,

I work on a particularly difficult account, and my supervisor asked me which physicians I would prefer to type and which I would not and she would allocate me only those MDs I chose to type.  Although I refused her, saying this was not fair to my fellow MTs, I am sure there are those that took her up on her offer.

• Anyone really know if allocation of work takes place - Showing preferential treatment?
  • Good accounts are given to their buddies, - yes it is done
    • How do MTSOs pick favorites out of - people they have never seen??
      • Obviously you do not call the supervisor and - so you are in the trap
        • I've tried to be friendly and have a sense of humor, - but they never seemed to respond..
        • Gift of gab is a gift in deed. Not having it has cost me dearly. - So true
          • and the world is all about ego. Never, never - me too
            • When asked for your opinion, always make it positive - Also
            • Maybe that's my problem. - I started out letting them know when QA made error
              • Funny we should be discussing this... - Just found this
                • Thanks for this! - Very good advice. NM
  • Yep, for instance, - Just me.
  • Of course this goes on. - mtathome
    • Never thought of it this way. I can understand this. (nm) - ohhh
      • I have seen it done unfairly, as well. - mtathome
        • CERTAIN DOCTORS. - Carm

My hsp brought back their work into the hsp 4 years ago because work was so bad.  The dept is growing. We are taking on local accounts. Soon they are going to have to start hiring because of explosive growth of work. We work on production from home with full benefits.  All is not lost, but I agree things look grim in the overall.

Call me a cynic, but I trust no one!  If you charge per report, it's cut and dried.  You don't have to worry how they are figuring lines and they don't have to worry how you are figuring lines.  And it will be easier for you to keep track of the number of reports you do in a day versus manually counting your lines at the end of every day.

JMO. 

the benefit of doubt in their favor, although I am not defending them in any way, shape or form.

I would think just the contrary:  Withholding or denying you work hurts them as well, since they lose payment for your work from their clients.  More importantly, witholding work from the MT highly INCREASES the likelihood that the MT will file for UE to begin with - a no-win situation for them.  First, they lose income you could be earning them from their clients if you did have more work, not to mention having to pay into part of your benefits.  

Having said that, it benefits them if you did have more work as it might relate to getting UE - more income for THEM if they give you adequate work - but mainly, it would decrease the likelihood that you'd be filing for UE in the first place. 

a simple "a" instead of "an" would only be a 0.5 error, whereas an incorrect medication or such that could directly impact patient care would be 2.0.  No errors are more than 2.0, and we do not deduct for blanks etc.
