I hope I don't get pounced on here, and I am truly just another MT at the Q, but when you talk about working a production job, you are talking about the standards under which you are paid as a contrast to a job where you work a certain number of hours and what is produced is not or cannot be measured. This does not mean that it does not matter when you work.
At the other end of our job is the client with the need for the product and the ability to choose a contractor that suits their needs. In this business TAT is King with accuracy Queen. Imagine yourself as an independent contractor to a hospital and here is your proposal:
My staff are flex staff, so I won't know when they are actually going to work.
When they do work, they may start late or leave early because of other commitments.
In order to meet your TAT and keep your business, we will offer incentives during your heavy use times, which my employees with then complain affect their ability to meet production after the incentive is over. It does not really matter that YOUR needs change - it only matters that my employees get exactly the kind of work when they want it, and that they can choose to do the work (or not do the work) when they please.
I cannot imagine why more hospitals are not beating down my door with a proposal like that.
Integrity: Doing what is right even when no one is looking. It also goes a long way towards job security.
