Just got an e-mail the day before Thanksgiving that MxSecure is going to an all-employee status and no longer using IC's and that they are not currently recruiting employees in my geographic area. I'm out of a job as of the end of the year. I'm just wondering if there are other MxSecure MTs in the States who were offered employee status or if they are going to completely move the work out of the country.
I have been working with MXSecure for a little over a year now and have found them to be a very reputable company (this based on 35+ years in this career field; having worked with many MTSOs/people during this time). In my opinion (and we all have them), I feel that slamming MX is insane. Do you honestly think they WANT to do all the extra work and go through the extra expense in changing from IC to employee status?? Figuring and paying taxes, social security, dealing with benefits, work comp, etc.?? Furthermore, do you honestly believe in their decision making, they decided, "Oh, and let's make it so we cannot hire from certain states." Sorry, but I find that line of thinking a bit obtuse, if not paranoid. I would be very disgruntled if I was told "No work for you" because I lived in XX state, but I would "pull up my big girl panties" and find out exactly why and take this information to my state representative or congressman and ask "Why." However, if one does not feel they are an honorable company, or that they lie, why would you want to stay?? That seems to be a bit illogical also (but that's me).
For those of you who have lost positions with MX, I know of another excellent company hiring ICs. They are ramping up and have already acquired a few new acute care accounts and a radiology account. No tests, tons of work, honest, and very friendly. Just let me know, and I will answer individuallly.
