Didn't say not credible..just not that bright if she stays where she "hates" it.

As a career MT who got sick of being jerked around by MQ, I've had my resume and online applications through this site out there for less than a week.  My emails are piling up, my phone rings with interviews, I've had six job offers to seriously consider, none of which were offering less than 9 cpl.  That's not counting the ones that were offering less than that, which I had no hesitation in declining.  Since I'm also holding out for a job in which I feel I'll be happy, and get the specialty areas my little heart desires, I've been really surprised and pleased at the responses. 

I've actually already accepted a new job (with MDI-MD), but the offers still keep coming in, and one lady went so far as to tell me they'd match MDI and top it, if I'd come work for her instead.  Whew!  Heady stuff!  I could get a serious God Complex here if I don't watch out

Just as an addendum, I refused the offer above, because my interview with the gal at MDI was so terrific, I think I'll be really happy working for them, and after 19 years and facing burnout (thank you, MQ), that's as important to me as the money.

hard today on starting to break the habit.  I took the little class thing on increasing our skills w/o mouse and do try to use a little more but now I feel I had better get my fat butt in gear on it immediately.  Hopefully this will help offset the losses I am going to encounter. 

I figure I will put the mouse on the left hand side to start with so I will be more conscious of whenever I read for it.   Old habits die so slowly.  Shoot, this old girl took forever to quit reaching up to return the carriage on the old typewriters.  (Am I giving my age away?)

I have about 7 more years until retirement and I do not want to train now for another profession, don't think that would be too profitable.  I want to bend like a willow in the wind and adjust to whatever comes up with this profession until then.  Trying to be positive.  Will paste on a smile and work,work, work on quitting using that mouse.

She also said she didn't have kids. Why do you think you're so much better  BECAUSE you have kids?  I am so sick of that attitude.  I don't have kids, never wanted them, but have been discriminated against in jobs because of it.  Everyone figured since I had no kids I could work all the time.  I said NO!  Just because I don't have kids doesn't mean I don't have a life or that my life is not important.   

BTW I work part time too. 

So those who are moseying along, getting in their 11,000 whenever, are making as much as the ones who work really hard to get their line counts into the incentive range?

I wonder if there are any other companies out there that reward mediocrity?  If so, maybe it's time to lower my own personal standards to fit in with the new trend.

that everywhere ELSE I go they are falling all over themselves.  If you had the experience I have, you'd know what I mean.  And since I never talked to her other than to say You emailed me and told me to call you... and she said she'd call me RIGHT BACK, and those were the only words I ever spoke to her, I don't see where any attitude would come in.

I do know that any company/any hospital would be GLAD to have me work for them.  I have received nothing but praise for my work.  I have worked long and hard to gain the experience I have and it has paid off.  I have had my own hospital accounts for years.  I've never had to beg for a job; they are offered to me quite readily.  Sorry if that bothers you.

When I worked there, it wasn't organized, ran out of work and the operations manager was pretty nasty at times. 

Things may have gotten better since then, but I doubt it.

I have been there longer than July, maybe they didn't take it away from those who had it originally when they went to no DD.  BUT, even if I did not have DD, I would still work for them.

But, Wise-MT, your post was good.  A good contrast between the two of us.  Sort of * whole picture * type of thing.

Good Luck to you Sammy.  I hope you find a place you like and who treats you well.  We MTs sure ALL deserve that at least!

You come here enough and you can tell the few angry flamers and the sour grapes from the people who have genuinely tried these companies - go ahead - give them a whirl. I have looked and tested and compared companies for the last 6 months - and I have come here to report on some real winners (not) - I tested and was offered a position with SS too and I turned down because on the advice of someone here I asked some very pointed questions and was a little concerned about the lack of forthcoming answers... but to each his own.  Good luck to you!
