Maybe the suits should all kick in half their - salaries to pay the bills.


Posted: Mar 08, 2014

They'd still have plenty left over for the lifestyle they've carved out for themselves. I bet Vern and Amy are having a good chuckle right now.

I think it's clear that the recent layoffs and firings are - nothing more than cost reductions

Imagine, cutting the hand that feeds them first. No wonder they're in trouble.

More like they did not have enough work for you. - Informaticist

As the article said, they were losing business to front-end SR and EHRs, which eliminate the need for MTs.

They had to eliminate the excess because there was no work. And, whenever possible make it your fault so it would not cost them more in unemployment insurance.

No mystery that they were firing the people paid at higher line rates, either.

I Get Kind Of A Kick Out Of Reading This Board

because I keep thinking with as many unhappy, demoralized, uncaring, (I know they are all synonyms but they just fit so well!) MTs who don't give a crap about the work, the company or the quality that we are putting out and just trying to make a buck working out butts off, it can't be too long before these two monster companies go out of business and they have to bring our jobs back and that of course is what is going to really be SWEET!  They aren't going to be able to offsh ...

More Suits....

Do we really need all these upper management people?  We get an introduction email at least once a month......I feel another pay cut coming on or at least changes to DQS that will put more money in their pocket.  What are we getting paid for now that they can somehow manage not to pay us for?   ...


Suits Are Good!
Sep 12, 2010

Suits are just everyday people that have taken their careers toward management, usually just by accident. There are good suits and bad suits. We aren't all the same. Sometimes we suits become non-suits again or move back and forth. This "suit" talk is silly. We're all just people who are doing the best we can. It's even harder these days with a horrible economy, but we all do our best. Management is not the enemy. ...

First off, because I am polite, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas. Now, I must ask, have you any idea as to the degree of financial devastation and destruction you have caused your MLSs? Are you aware that some have lost their homes and others are in the process of same due to a paycheck that is up to 50% less than what it used to be? Do you know or care that a lot of MLSs cannot afford to buy Christmas presents or even send out Christmas cards? To think that you hold us in such contemp ...

Regarding the English slang for Management being termed as a "SUIT." On a forum/bbs/chat board it is not uncommon to find shortened variations of words in slang terminology being used.  There seems to be 2 classifications of work force/individuals on this forum and one would NOT need a certification in education to realize them to be Production and Management classifications.   The general consensus of "Production Workers" seems to have been approp ...

Class Action Suits. All The Comments Below That Nothing

can be done. That is SO NOT true, and I hate to state the obvious, the elephant in OUR room here, that its likely management trolls.  The law firm listed below is fantastic.  And class actions work where 1 or 2 Plaintiffs step up and its converted to a class action for all employees. That's where ya sit back, don't have to do squat, the pros go over payroll and you get compensated if wages are calculated to be do you. Its simple, NOT some big drama fest.  This IS America ...


Hey Suits And Others Reading This...Do The Hospitals Know Their Work Is Being Sent Offshore?

Are we taking for granted the "clients" hospitals know where the work goes, but DO THEY really? Wonder. Even if they DO know, bet most patients/people don't.  Wish there was a way to spread the word around.  Bet most people would be outraged.  It also seems like not such a good idea for national security, or just for privacy sake, to send medical records, information, all over they world (yeah, yeah, I know, not ALL over the word...not yet).  GREED is such an awful thing ...
