Do you ever regret volunteering for overtime

I am still a student 1/2 way finished with an MT certificate. The job possibilities for an inexperienced MT with or without a certificate look pretty bleak :/ So, I was thinking about maybe volunteering or accepting low pay for work overflow just to get some experience. Does anyone know where I would even begin finding companies that would allow me to volunteer? ...

I know you all feel my pain, but I just need to vent. I wish I could go back in time. Nine years ago I made a bad choice. I was either going to go to school to become a nurse or accept apply for a position as an MT at a local clinic where I live. I decided to apply for the MT position and I got it. Four years ago, they outsourced my job to a national company who I decided to work for. Fast forward to today, and I am broke. I had to sell my house in a sho ...

I visit this site occassionally to see where the industry is going and I just want to let those who are thinking about leaving MT to just do it. It has been 1-1/2 years now since I left MT. At 37 I became a state tested nursing assistant and still have no regrets. I do think back of the good ole MT days and start to miss the profession I loved for 13 years, but then I remember the headache and frustration of trying to meet line counts, terrible dictators, VR corr ...

To any former MT who has left the field: Have you ever regretted it and wished to come back or did come back? I've been an MT only 5 years and I feel stuck in which career path to go down. Done the whole pros and cons list of WAH versus outside work. I'm thinking that MT is not something I will be able to do until retirement 30 years from now. IDK if it's just a bad day/week for me or if I'm fickle and jump from job to job (longest job at one place was 4 years non MT). Lik ...

Do any of you regret becoming a coder? ...

I work second shift, so, due to the time change from PST to CST, after 10 pm my time, the last hour of my shift shows up as the next day. I worked 1.5 hours this morning and then my regular 2:30-11 pm shift, so I figure I should be paid for 1.5 hours overtime, but my calculated time (I recently discovered this on the current time card page) shows me as only getting credit for 0.5 hours overtime with 8 RT (Regular time) + 0.5 OT hours showing up on Sunday and then 1 hour showing up on Monday as ...

Got an email that the company will no longer offer any OT at all costs and do not work more than your 40 hours. That is because they overhired and we do not even have enough for our 40 hours. I do not get it. ...

It seems like at one point we were told that AP cannot pay overtime. This has never been an issue for me before, but with the pressure to work extra recently, I could be heading into overtime territory. Has anyone with AP run into this problem? ...

I know when I call in to have work assigned (OT accounts) they always ask what kind I want. I usually just tell them "Whatever" and they confirm I do all work types, say thank you and away we go. Now I am wondering. Seems like after we have had OT on my accounts the next day there is a MUCH higher than normal ratio of crappy dictators. Are the people working OT the day/night before allowed to choose to not do those dictators? I had one of the support staff th ...

Whenever they call, you do it anyway..No wonder we are in the boat we are in. ...

Not only cut in pay, it seems like the OT is no longer time and a half. I can't believe the amount of money I have lost. Anyone know how they figure overtime?? Also, I seemed to notice that whenever we complain about FIESA, like about them picking short reports, it seems to happen even more. It makes me think they probably read this forum too and get a good laugh out of it. Sorry, but I tend to believe they resent us because we make more money than they ...

Could the suits be so devious as to require mandatory overtime so it temporarily boosts income so they look like they are paying a living wage? Or is there just a supply/demand problem? I did check into mandatory or forced overtime. It is legal as long as it is not causing a safety risk and there are 16 states putting restrictions on forced overtime. Alaska, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Isl ...
