it depends on what is is? or acting a fool or being a fool.  because we have fun with MQ.  who died and left you boss or arbitrator of what mqmts should or should not do or who is acting a fool or is a fool?  frank?

And, here I sit after my job was outsourced to C-Bay even though my "manager" claimed she did not want to outsource.

You need to consider the fact that your manager probably does not make those decisions, but the higher ups that are above him/her do!  This is the very first signs of outsourcing (new system) to comply with the outsourcing company.

The best way to get a new system set up for outsourcing is by using the staff on hand.  No, I doubt you'll get a raise, but you may get a big surprise once you set that system all up for that outsourced company. 

It happened to me, and I had a manager just like you are stating.  If I were you, I wouldn't make any waves regarding a raise right now.  If you are hourly, then I wouldn't worry too much about the line count and when asked why your line count isn't up to par, then reiterate the fact that you've been instituting a new system.

The hospital I worked at also asked the MTs to help because the managers had no clue.  So sad...

Oh, and they did all of this after hiring a very older lady (partially retired) from a hospital that was outsourced so she had to quit.  That lady lost her job at the hospital I worked at about a month after I left.  I left before the outsource because I refused to help outsource the work I had done for the past 17 years. 

P/S:  Just keep your eyes and ears open very wide!!!!!! 

My son beta tests these programs and this one is not ready yet.  It conflicts with other programs at present, especially any older programs (pre XP).  Better to wait until it has been out for quite a few months and the bugs are worked out. 

You mean he has figured out a way to lower my income even more?

Why doesn't he just send me a bill for the opportunity to sign in to type the

junk they have now?  And it is junk.  There's not a decent hospital left.  Have you noticed how many accounts are g-o-n-e? disappeared, vamoosed, gone poof.

I'm sitting here thinking it is way past time to leave this business.  It is too complicated.  It has not become more standardized.  If anything it is more loopy - each place has a different platform, hospital rules they want you to follow for each thing.  Used to you could turn on a typewriter, put paper in the machine, type, put a sticker on it, and you were done.  Now it takes sometimes 3 months to get up to speed - NOT because you don't know medical terminology - you have to learn a specific platform (go buy special parts to use it), figure out new expanders, get special internet thingys, get wave pedals, throw away $$$ super stations and C-phones.  It's a joke.  They want us to cover all that just for the right to make squat for money.

Nope, I think it's time to pursue something else. 

When was the last time you linked to a website link and got the response "too many hits?"  It just looks all too contrived.  I have to admit that I did link there, but won't try it again.  Maybe he's just getting a big kick out of the attention this is bringing, and our resultant frustration.  Now, I will be running my Spyware and deleting any new cookies that are found.

God bless you for telling your story as it gives insight into how we all have to be our own advocates. 

My aunt "trusted" the trusted old surgeon who told her not to worry, we'll deal with it IF it becomes an issue.  Well, it did but to late to treat and she died within 3 years. 

That had to be hard to post this, again, thank you!
