I like the people at my company fairly well, but since no one is actually assigned a doctor, sometimes there is tons of work and sometimes none. It is whoever gets there first and can type the fastest. (And you wonder if some of the typists aren't using some kind of VR when they type 10 to your 1 and you type over 90 wpm.) Then if QA takes their time getting to your reports, they will skip to the next payday, which, fine you get paid for them, but it is aggravating to type 1, 000 or more lines the last day of the pay period and not have them QA'd until the next day. Makes you wonder why they begged you to type that day. Also the nitpicking and boredom eventually gets to you; whether it is the doctors themselves constantly changing the way they want their reports done, or having different QA's who each think a thing should be done the way they say and not the way the BOS or the client requests. I mean, what did I train for? Why say use the BOS and then throw it out the window because QA doesn't agree with it? I know QA is a time consuming job and I appreciate my QAs for the most part, but I am wondering if what I am paid is actually compensation enough for all the BS I have to put up with. 0.08 cpl is not worth it a lot of days. The great love I had for the work is going out the window and it has gradually become a "job". Thanks. Daffy says: I agree.
