first of this year.  Had it for years.  Then, one day, it was gone.  Offshored.   Gone was my 50K year job.  It can happen to you, too, sister.  Since the first of the year, I have diligently searched for a job.  However, I have been lied to again and again about what I was committing to, carrott dangling that if I would just do acute care until a RAD account came on board that never materialized, a Monday-Friday schedule that turned out to be 7 DAYS A WEEK, an MTSO wanting me to pay them to work for them by charging me their software license fee, horrible Indian dictators, etc., and on and on.  Yes, something has definitely changed in this business.  For me, the hardest part has been working for a really great company, being respected, pay always and everyt ime on time, setting my own schedule, only to be thrown into the real world of MT as it exists today with unscrupulous MTSOs (LARGE AND SMALL) thinking they can take advantage or worse that you are so desperate for work you will commit to anything. 

The things of concern written by the OP are real.  Just because you have a good job now does not mean you will have it tomorrow.  With your attitude, I would suggest you not come here to get support in your time of need since you obviously have no empathy for your fellow MTs and what they are experiencing today. 

I, too, second 200% the original poster's comments. 

Isn't that called "stat"?  What happened to getting paid more for quick TAT?

They will pay an incentive but I am on too many accounts to get the line count I need to get that.  All the patient censuses make for a lot of clerical work that I don't get paid for and I am so outta here as soon as I can get out!

if they asked someone to work OT.  Geez, c'mon sense.   BTW, anyways is not a word. 

My last three paychecks have bounced. I have been given excuses and promises and nothing has been done yet. I do not work for fun. My family needs this money I make. After the third check bounced on Friday, I told them I would not type another case until I have a check that is not rubber. Anyone else having this problem?

Only the MTs who are really good and really competent would consider it worthwhile to pay to have the test on file.   So it would weed out the MTs with skills that are not so good and the employers would not have so many to weed through.

I actually think it should include the whole kit and caboodle - test, resume, all pertinent information that ane employer would need to make a decision on whether to extend a job offer.  That way the MT just does all that once (a year) and then can just sit back and see if they receive any offers.

I too think it would be a good idea to have the tests proctored.  I hadn't thought of an MT having someone else take the test for them, but you have a point there.

I also think that an MT could list on their file that they will not consider offers from certain companies they do not wish to work for, or from offshore companies, or offers for under so many cpl, etc.  I certainly wouldn't want to be bothered with a bunch of offers there is no way I'd even consider so best not to waste anyone's time on either side.

I also had issues with getting paid what was owed to me.  I kept their equipment and then they threatened me with a civil suit.  When it came almost time to go, I called Sherry Ponder, the OSi HR Manager, and she gave me what I was owed.  Then, I sent their equipment back.
