newbies do it, etc. etc. Everybody should be doing it! Its part of the doggone job! I too have worked when my kids were in the hopsital. I had one with chronic asthma in the hospital every two months for five years. Had to work, didn't have a choice. Need to get a new profession taht is not medical. The MTSOs don't owe you anything as far as accommodating your schedule with new equipment, etc. If you want to work this is the way it is. If not, then don't. Its your choice. Its not going to change. Believe me I don't like it either, but I have to have a paycheck so its this or train for something else.

You might be right bout that.
I have been unhappy here for awhile now, hoping it will end. Maybe I'm just burned out and need a vacation.

Sorry bout the confusion -- DSG-- nm

How bout taking it to YOU TUBE?
Now THAT would likely get you a response quick!

How bout something like USAType or TransUSA?

Well, how bout all of us that worked under these conditions
IC and asked to work a schedule and it is not in the contract we signed who have left these companies now report them to the IRS? I think we would be helping out MTs in the future when some of these companies don't seem to want to play fairly. I worked under these conditions (IC with a strict schedule) 2 years ago and did it cuz I needed the job. Ain't there anymore so think I will report them now and maybe this will let the MTSO deal with the ole IRS. They know they are not complying and most companies know they can get around paying overtime too because of the way we are paid. Some have gotten caught on that one but not enough. Its just not right or fair and they keep doing it don't care. We need to take a stand and be treated more fairly as MTs. I got nothin to lose reporting my previous company to the IRS and am gonna do it.

I am no longer gonna say nutin' bout them.

As a nod to show my displeasure in certain actions I have witnessed, I will no longer say nutin' about them. It is just a place for me to earn a paycheck now and certainly no sense of pride is held by me any longer. I know I am also being watched here as well and refuse to change my handle to anon or anything gay like that.

Shame, shame, shame and they know why.

If all true, I forecast a bout of burnout in the near

Sorry bout last post, Guess I will slow down.

The beginning just doesn't even make sense. Meant to go back and delete and proof - sorry. That darn post reply button was just too handy;-) Back to work gals.

Bout ready to take this computer to the pawn shop
and cancel the internet - then find a real job again that pays hourly, has a sane schedule, gives me a yearly raise and a paid vacation. Get paid if there is work and don't have to hear We don't pay for downtime. Not kidding either. Might enjoy socializing a bit again too.

there are a couple of recent posts on the main board, bout halfway down...
