I don't find you funny at all...
Get a life
I find it funny that they are still

They have posts on the job board.  I hope whoever posted those jobs are reading these messages.


And what do you find funny? lol

Is having you pay cut by one third at least funny? lol


Is that the best you have to offer? lol


Do you have anything nice to say, no, then say nothing. lol


You may find this funny....SM
I noticed this typo in their most recent ad:

The positions due require

Maybe they need some QA.


What I find funny is that they wanted to know SM
so much about me (background, physical condition, etc.) and THEY turned out to be the people who were breaking the law (labor law)!
This I find funny, your statement that is.... NM

what I find funny is that MTs allowed it, it was their fault too. sm
I know for a fact that MTs were as equally responsible.  I worked OT and didn't claim it because I needed extra money however I could get it and didn't care that it was not approved at the OT rate.  I did so at the suggestion and approval of one person and it was NOT know by upper management that it was going on.  When they found out, it was stopped before the labor board even found out. The one person who was overseeing the MTs was trying to cover their own behind for not having good management skills and not wanting to say we can't handle this much work without OT or hiring more MTs and that is how it all happened.  It is not completely the companies fault - mostly the employee that did it and got the company in trouble, as well as the MTs who agreed to turn their head and look the other way and let it happen.  They learned their lesson and are a better company now because of it.  I'd like to find one company where 100% of the people have no complaints at all - it's just not realistic in any industry.  There will always be disgruntled exemployees fighting for their case and current employees sticking up for the company.  Each MT has to see for theirselves if they like the company and take the opinions as that, opinion.
but I'll bet the CEOs find it funny. After they

I find this post funny. If a company advertises constantly, posters question if they are losing peo
3 weeks, since 5/24, there are posts that question if they are growing. Who cares if a company is growing or not as long as they have enough work for their MTs. I started PT with KS two weeks ago and will be going FT 7/10 after my long-awaited and much-needed vacation. They have treated me very well and have plenty of work if the account I work on is any indication. I also came to them on the recommendation of several MT friends who work there, all of whom are very happy and have been for a while.

If you want to work for a particular company, your best bet is to contact them. I have read in several publications that more jobs are filled before advertising than after the fact.

Give them a call, especially if you like/love radiology!
to scribbles.....sm
Are you an IC or employee? How long have you been w/ SmartMed? Would you recommend them to your best friend?
Information for Scribbles

Hi Scribbles,


I wanted to share some information with you.  After reading some of the posts from yourself and others about unions, I decided to do some research and contact someone.  I really don't have an opinion either way as far as unions are concerned, but I do think if someone believes really strongly about something, then they should do everything in their power to make a stand.  It would be nice if there were a wage scale for MTs as there is for other healthcare professionals.  Below you will find the response which I received today. 


 


Good luck and take care.


 


 Actually, yes, there are Unions for office/healthcare workers such as yourself! Please contact Labor Organizations such as the Office and Professional Employees International Union, www.OPEIU.org, as well as the Service Employees International Union, www. SEIU.org (HealthCare Division: http://www.seiuhealthcare.org), and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, www.AFSCME.org,(HealthCare Division: http://afscme.org/workers/513.cfm). Thank you for the opportuntity to address your question. If we may be of further assistance in regards to this, or another issue, please contact us again. Fraternally, Dustin OrganizingAdvocate Unions.org


And another thing, Scribbles, called your
bluff on the question of age on the main board. Got home late last night and answered then.
For Scribbles and his/her union friends

If you really want to know how to form a union, check out the link below for the AFL/CIO.  You'll need to pick a union with which to affiliate.  They have a list with contacts.  They also have state/local federations of labor with contacts.  You'll also need a professional union organizer to help you.  There's a form you can fill out to get in touch with one.    


SEIU split from the AFL/CIO and is a healthcare union.  Find a web page for a local in your area, and they can give you the same information as above. 


These are the people who can really answer your questions and help you.  I'm betting, though, that you just want stay on these boards to stir the pot and whine. 


gourd
I have been around a long time. Why do you come to this board and lurk all the time. Did you run out of gourds and feel you need to stir something up.. If you hate MT so much go away from here and leave the real MTs alone. You just make things worse for some of these people. Get a new hobby or a job
Scribbles, thanks for rising up from our ranks and making a serious effort to make ... sm

the idea of a union for us a reality.  Greedy and unethical service owners/senior management have really turned this profession to the dogs over the last 20+ years or so, and if we don't finally say enough and start speaking up for ourselves it's only going to get worse.  (I also have to make an aside and say to the MTSO's out there who actually UNDERSTAND this profession, have EXPERIENCE in it, and are SENSITIVE to the needs and challenges that MT's face, thank you so much for your integrity.  We appreciate you.)


I'll be following the board closely to read of your updates, Scribbles. 


Thanks Gourd Painter--

I do okay when I stay off these boards during working hours.  Fortunately, I'm statutory now and don't have to worry about minimum hourly quotas.  I can just kick back and relax. 


I had no idea there was that kind of money in gourd painting.  I'm on the East Coast and I don't think that craze has hit here yet.  Maybe this is my chance to get in on it early.  I'm married to a good ole farm boy, so I'm sure he could help with the dirt part of it and then I could just do the painting part.  I'll have to run that by him and do a little more research on this.  I love to paint and stencil crafts; I've done quite few primitive pieces myself.


Good luck in your new career.  Doing what makes you happy is never wrong!


Gourd Painting

You lucky soul!  I'm married to a bona fide (sp?) city boy (Chicago).  Fortunately he's a quick study but we've had some times during his learning curve.


I would love to share the gourd thing with you.  As I said, I stumbled on it quite by accident.  I'm actually taking art lessons so I'm really more interested in growing the little suckers (or big suckers as the case may be).  The craze hasn't even caught on yet in the Mid West so I bet you've got a head start on the East Coast if you want it.  Feel free to email me.  Just put something in the subject line that will get my attention.  I'm thinking of changing my address because I still get so much spam in spite of everything I can do.  I'll be posting gourd information on my website at some point in time but I want to get my ducks in a row first.


 


hey, gourd painter, did you see the
reports a few months back on migraine sufferers who found relief coincidentally with face lifts? I have only had about 3 or 4 of these myself over the years, but they totally shut me down. Feel sorry for you.

Gourd, I am so sorry that this is happening to you,

Isn't it bad enough that we all have to worry about our jobs on a daily basis, worrying if work will be there, if the company that we are working for will actually pay us for the many, MANY hours that we have put in and having to work literally almost every holiday because in this industry, that is just how it is?  Now we have to worry for expressing our opinions, something that, IMHO, is my God given right, after all, last time I checked, we were still living in the United States of America!! 


To me what makes this entire situation even more sickening, is that someone is being paid to watch this board.  This company could use that money, the money that they are paying for attorney fees, court fees, etc., to pay their MTs what they DESERVE and instead of worrying about looking bad on a website, they should do everything in their power to make their company the absolute best in its business.  Again, IMHO.


To Gourd Painter - Need Clarification
Sorry but your answer isn't clear to me. Would appreciate more specifics. What does AAMT have to do with it anyway?
OMG - an American Gourd Society!
I love it! I am so getting into this! I live in Ohio and there are always craft shows and farmer's markets, pratically every weekend. I'm really good at painting, so am not really interested in doing the paint-by-numbers thing, but are there any books you would recommend for me to get started? Maybe just two or three?
I'm a midwest MT too (Kansas) ... but my gourd painting skills are definitely lacking too. :( n

Did find a Wright Watson Sten-Tel in Austin if their site isn't old. Find 'em with Google. nm

Trying to find info on Encompass on this board, can't find any recent. sm
Anyone have any current info. Any employees out there? Give me the low-down if you can! Thanks a million.
That is really funny
The majority cannot be wrong.  Your first post brought on the reactions of many, all saying the same thing.  Your first post was rude.  It just was. It sounded hateful.  No way that 5 different people read it wrong.  Funny how you descend upon the poor OP and basically rip her apart and then call the rest of us vultures.  So funny.  You are not one to be preaching about attitudes and how we should watch them.  Talk to the woman in the mirror first. 
OMG HOW FUNNY!!!
NM
it's funny that
the packet states no one will get a pay cut but they gave out pay cuts before people trained on DEP as DEP has only a certain pay level, so they were told. I guess this means no pay cuts with this packet. Pretty smarmy, huh??
too funny
nm
I think it is funny that you all
want to say that JACKO and the others you mentioned are the only rudes ones on this board. Look over the posts. Pretty much everyone here is rude. I've never seen anything like it.
that is funny....unfortunately if they were not that way, I don't many of us would have a job-LOL

Too funny. He gets around. nm

Funny
Please, why is it that if someone has been treated badly and there are issues that that person tries to convey to another for their own warning, why is that a grudge?  You watch too much TV!
Too funny.
I have two dried up accounts as well. Yet they are still hiring. Go figure.
lol, and for 8 cpl! Now, that's funny.

Funny
Oh what like I'm scared? Yes M.E. are my initials, you better believe it. Saying liar is not slanderous. Especially since this board makes disclaimers. Funny.
How funny!!!
Was it a lady by the name of Phyllis Tate who contacted you?  She is always going on cruises.  I turned down that company one week after I started working there.  That place is so darn screwed up.  Do not consider taking a job whatsoever!!!
THAT WAS FUNNY!
So funny!!  Yes, we know how to focus and concentrate and we know how to DROWN out nonessentials of background noise.
Funny....
I sent a resume to them and one of the questions was how much ESL do I do. I told them over 50% and that was why I was leaving my current job. They emailed me back and said based on my ESL answer, I was not a suitable candidate for their company.
lol that was funny

Mac, you are 2 funny. nm

That's funny...
I don't care who you are!
funny
  And I like your name - Mari Wisely  Cute !
LOL! That's funny...nm
This has never happened to me, not once. I have taken many tests and aced them and my email inbox was filled with email offers. I have 20 years experience and told them up front what I made/wanted. I think some MTs just can't face the fact that they failed the test.
TOO FUNNY

Oh, please stop with all the nonsense!!  Why do you feel compelled to give out these TIPS?  So, nonqualified people can give a false, yet professional-appearing resume and then you can test them and waste your time?  Are you crazy?  At least you can quickly eliminate those - what does it take 1.5 seconds to look and throw out?  Is this your biggest job complaint?  Why don't you quit complaining about your job - do you really expect to get all perfect resumes!!  Hello - anyone home in there?? I thought evaluating a resume was part of a recruiters job - respond to good ones and don't to the bad ones...you act like you want these folks working at Super Wal-Mart to present a nice resume -Now, why would you desire that?


 These jobs are posted on the INTERNET - expect some crazy people !! 


P.S. I've had to deal w/a lot of recruiters who need some serious help, but I don't feel compelled to give out any suggestions - they would not listen anyway.  Its simple when the company/recruiter is ever rude, unprofessional, unorganized, giving false info - I move on.  You get a joke of a resume - move on!!


 


TOO FUNNY !
SAme thing happened to me ! After I resigned from Focus, It took them a good two weeks afterward to acknowledge my notice of resignation. They are sooooo ignorant and unprofessional !
How funny..
I was paid late. Supposed to have been paid Friday and still waiting.

MOST of the time DD works better than waiting for checks to arrive.
Thats is too funny
Sounds like sour grapes to me.
TOO FUNNY!!!!
Can tell its getting late - but Im right there with ya with the Dippity DOO
Now thats funny:)
Damn if you do and damn if you don't. Post something positive and people try to turn it into a negative. LOL>>>
That's really funny!
So, if something gets rave reviews, it can't possibly be any good? Thanks for giving me a chuckle.

As for me, I personally have experience with both companies, and you couldn't drag me back to MQ if you hitched me to a semi!
