    cherrypicking co-worker issue (meant to post it on this board instead of MQ board) sm...

    I need opinions please...I work on a very small account with just a handful of ladies.  Because of the nature of the software (trying not to get too specific here) we can see who is working online and what reports they are working on in real-time...



    We have one cherrypicker on the account.  Instead of using FIFO method, she retrieves the reports by author ID - usually picking the better dictators of course.  She knows I busted her and she did admit to it in on our work e-mail (not too bright) which I am saving just in case she gets out of hand - so far I'm still able to make money since really most of the dictators aren't bad. 



    But every night it's starting to wear on me since she's screwing up turnaround time.  I don't really want to cause a big uproar being that it is such a small account and I need to work with her almost every night usually one on one.



    What would you all do?  I want to handle this as delicate and professional as possible because we can't really afford to lose anyone on this account.  In other words, I refuse to stoop to her level by cherrypicking right back.


    My boss has asked me several times why so-and-so does so much more than I do...I just bite my lip at that point but one of these days I think I might explode and just open up a can of worms....


    Definitely one of the other board's people who refer to those on this board as "holy rollers,&
    Now go ahead and post your reply - I know you're dyin' to!

    Thank you - I'm glad to see that there is sm

     


    somebody here that's intelligent enough to tell the difference.  I wasn't looking for advice.  I just wanted to know if anyone else experienced anything similar.


     


    I guess I should have known better than to post anything here.


    Glad I'm not alone. sm
    I always just try to consider the source.  The sad part is that the people, whomever they may be, who makes these hateful posts on ALL boards are either 1) Trolls or 2)  Very unhappy people.
    I am so glad I did not take the job with them..s
    I am glad I did NOT take the job with that office...sorry pay to boot...7 cpl.
    I'm so glad! Also, ...sm
    I hate that you cried yourself to sleep all night. It's too much pain for anyone to bear, and I've been crying too. Your post reassured me that I'm not being overdramatic about feeling so compassion for our furry friends. My husband is getting tired of hearing me talk about the those poor dogs down there. I also want to drive there and get some of them. If I don't hear from Best Friends soon about being a foster parent to dogs belonging to the evacuees, I may just do that. (Best Friends says they will transport the pet(s) to you, no matter where you live). Time was of the essence for some of those dogs I saw on the news, and that was yesterday a.m.

    Hope someone can get word to the little boy that his pet is located and safe - don't know how though. All I can think about is the little boy worrying about his pet. If he knew his little buddy was OK, he might have some comfort and lessen the pain.
    I glad I could be of help!
    I know that the decision to homeschool is a mammouth one and can almost be mind boggling! Try to fine a homeschool support group. The public library often knows of them and can direct you or sometimes churches will have large support groups. Call around. I am from Indiana and our state's homeschool office is called Indiana's Association of Home Educators. I know they can give you all the info you need if your from the Hoosier state!
    I am so glad this came up...
    Please, can you tell me, I am 100% hooked on this program (the sound does not interfere a bit with the dictation for me); however, I did not know it was only a free trial. Supposedly, I only have 15 days left.

    Help! Now I have sound pilot. Is home typist different, and if it is, is it free and how would I download that?

    Did you have to pay for yours?

    I am so grateful to you for posting this originally because it has really helped me...

    For the poster previously, "sis," if you read this there are a bunch of other sounds you can download. I switched to the "smith-corona" sound and it is a little softer sound, like the old electric typewriters...
    So glad someone had a
    chance to read it before it's deleted.
    Glad to see there are more too
    Being 33 and single without kids and no man or one in sight, just meeting guys who are afraid to commit..well thats my life.  I feel kind of judged by people, esp friends who have gone on to marry, some have gotten divorced, but even the divorced ones look down upon me.  Like i'm the bad one to not have gotten married and divorced yet.  These guys just drain me, it seems like so much work to keep one around let alone faithful.  I've got work and school though. 
    Glad U like it!
    Same 2U!
    That is what I do. Glad to see others doing the same. nm

    I am glad I was of some help. :) nm

    I'm glad you said this
    The docs never stop dictating. Sometimes a hospital will allow another service to come in for a trial run. Sometimes they funnel all work to the 'trial run' company and sometimes they will funnel a portion. Wanna know why hospitals do this...

    1. TAT is not always met...because MTs call in sick and ICs don't keep a consistent schedule and work sits for days waiting to be typed.

    2. Hospital continuously gets lousy work...because MTs who have been released from QA upload lousy work because they are more focused on getting more lines instead of producing a quality product.

    I know this because I have worked in hospital administration before. I am now an MT. Many MTs gripe and moan about getting fired or not having enough work. What you guys don't seem to realize is that a lot of this is due to MTs who have a poor work ethic.

    Everytime you call in sick, you cause an avalanche of issues. Because you work from home, many of you don't understand the concept of 'teamwork'. You see things as they apply to you and not the big picture. MTSOs are under a lot of pressure to find good MTs who will provide a quality product to the client.

    MTs are probably the most job hopping people there are. It is very difficult to keep a client happy and make sure TATs are met when you have 10 MTs off 'sick' each day. It's also very difficult to keep a client happy when they have 10 or more crappy reports uploaded each day.

    A hospital can drop an MTSO and move on to another. Well guess what...the account that you were hired for is no longer. You also have companies who hire lots of ICs who work and work and work taking away work from the MT employees. I could go on and on but I'll stop here.
    You are Welcome...glad I could help...nm

    I am glad for you.
    Instead of being jealous, I am inspired.  So far I have only worked for a clinic as an employee (making very little money) or for companies, first as an employee and now as an subcontractor.  The owner of the company I am with now is a wonderful person, but I am not making as much money as I need to make.  I am looking into other ways to do it.  I live in a rural area, so there are not as many opportunities as in more urban areas, but ever since I have been doing MT there has always been plenty of work to do.  Most of it is being done by companies, but I am sure if I check around I can find some work that pays better.  I personally know people who are doing well.  I do not intend to totally give up what I have now and just sink or swim.  I guess what I am saying is that most of us do make choices.  Some of you may have circumstances that keep you from going it on your own.  Even then, you do make choices.  When I was working for a company, I enjoyed having paid time off.  As an independent contractor, that is something you have to work around. If we just sit around and whine about what we make, we will never get out find something better.     
    I'm glad :-)
    I'm glad it made you feel a little better .  Good luck to you.  I will be thinking and praying for you. 
    I, too, am glad to see him gone
    He was a nice kid, I'm sure, but just wasn't mature enough, in my opinion, to be an American Idol. Give him a few years and he may grow on the public!
    Now.....Let's hope Bucky goes next week!
    Glad to know I'm not alone at 5' 2" :)

    I was blessed with longer legs and a shorter torso though so chairs aren't a problem.  My hubby is 5' 10" and he has a long torso and shorter legs and we both drive the car with the seat in the same position. (and yes I can see over the steering wheel). :)


    Now top shelves. . . . .that's a whole different story. :)  My boys are 6' 3" and almost 6 feet so, while I still have them around, I just yell to one of them when I need something up high. 


    I'm always rewarded with them teasingly resting their elbow on my head though.


    Older daughter is 5' 6" and younger one is almost 5 feet already at 11.  I'm destined to be the "little one." 


    I'm so glad she's gone!!
    I absolutely hated her voice, it drove me crazy watching the show!! Her voice is great for church, but not for the real word and definitely not good enough to be an Americal Idol winner! I mean look at Fantasia, where the heck is she now?? I can see Chris getting pretty far in the business, but nobody really seems like they have the "it" factor like Kelly Clarkson did/does.
    I'm glad
    I'm glad somebody brought this up because I was thinking the same thing.  It is a good thing to keep discussions focused but focusing them too narrowly can defeat the purpose of having a discussion.  And then being scolded and having posts moved all over or deleted is really annoying.  No offense, but it is. And before we are told to go elsewhere, would anybody be interested in a Yahoo discussion group for MTs where they can discuss things other than MT work?  I know there is one group like that, which shall be nameless, that is dominated by a nasty clique.  I would like to start a more friendly one if anybody is interested.   Let me know!    
    You are welcome, glad you like it!
