Shameful

If you posted an ad to find someone who would kill you and eat you, you would get responses too (this has happened, by the way, and the advertiser was killed and gutted like a hog). Just because you posted such an insulting ad and desperate people answered it does not make it right. You get the MT-awarded Badge of Shame this week.

7 cpl is shameful

I just wish most people could afford to go out on strike even for a few days and let everything pile up. That would totally hold up entire hospital systems (not that I would want to jeopardize a patient's care), but what else can we do. They can't send everything to ASR, especially the crap that a lot of people are getting these days, and doing it for less money. Aren't you sick of this?

Seriously, what do you think 2 or 3 days of no shows of even up to 30% of employees would do to, for example, Medquist. Major backlog, clients complaining. Stretch it to 4 days, big problem.

Who could afford to take 2 to 4 days without pay? Who would be willing to strike? Do you think it would get any result?

I agree my painful is shameful...
But as far as being full-time MTs in this area with benefits and being paid hourly this is "good". Yep, that's how badly this profession is going down the tubes.

The only place I can work other than this and make more money with benefits is the hospital and they expect even more production from you, with harder jobs that I am not experienced with.

I took the paycut becuase I get to work from home (they released me to work from after one year).

It's shameful if the new owner is foreign but

Spheris also offshores to India. Shameful.
