with that. If we are paid on production and have a minimum to produce, then of course we are going to work. In my case, I have a 1200 line production, but can work up to 8 hours a day. I would be in the poor house if I stopped at 1200 lines, so don't say MTs are "working more than they should be." We are working for a paycheck just like you.

If she is just "working on" a project as a
subject matter expert, you would be right. Her post reads as if she is running the project. If the hospital has a position of "project manager" she should read that job description and determine if it more closely fits what she is doing right now, and then if it is ask for a TEMPORARY reclassification. That is not unreasonable and would certainly be worth discussing with her boss. There is no comparison between running a large project and training a new hire.

speaking of "working from your bedroom"

I used to hate when people would think that I worked at home doing one of those jobs you see posted on phone poles "work from home/make 2500 a month part time, etc. Even by bozo cousin had people calling me about "how to get started".........and then there were the nosey neighbors, who would get so curious as to what you did do at home to earn an income,

Finally came up with a great response that just shut them all up in their tracks....

"I love working from home, never have to worry about getting dressed and can make as much money as I want without even having to leave my bedroom depending on how much I felt like producing each day w/o getting sore muscles"...left a lot of them to wonder LOL
