Live in a large city with 4 million plus and we never had a job slow down or strike. Where did you live then, big, small town?

I walked away
If my employer can turn their back on me for 6 weeks, causing all of that emotional and financial upheaval without a word of reassurance or explanation, they don't deserve my loyalty.

It happened once with no rhyme or reason, and again no explanation whatsoever when we all know they were receiving our emails and reading these boards. It could happen again at any time.

It's also very near the holiday season again, which is notoriously slow at MDI.

The past 6 weeks have proven to me that MDI feels they owe their MTs nothing. I feel obligated to give them the same in return. I can't afford to do otherwise.

As my name indicates, label me as 'once bitten, twice shy.'

I'm taking my loyalties elsewhere.

What would it do if we all walked out on 09/01? Much as I am loathe to do that to the hospitals
and patients, it would surely throw things into chaos and make all the MDI clients wonder what on EARTH is going on? And then they'd have some splainin' to do, Lucy. Do u think then maybe the hospitals might realize that the pro-American MTs at this formerly beloved MDI company all walked out because they refuse to participate in sending American jobs to India when people here are scrambling for jobs and on food stamps, trying to feed their kids and keep their houses?
