Thank you, Indians. I owe you big time. - transcender

Because of your greed and attempt to cut our throats, I decided I should not be supporting any Indians, Pakistani, etc., who are here in the US, legal or otherwise.

Most of the cigarette stores where I live are owned/operated by Indians and Pakistani. They are about $15.00 a carton cheaper than the groceries. So rather than give one more penny to a class of people I now despise, I quit smoking. You did me a big favor.

Congragulations! - see message

...for stopping smoking! That's a decision you'll never regret. I kicked the habit myself some 12 years ago and am loving breathing deeply these days!

I understand your anger -- really, I do -- but try to bear in mind that the Indians (and others) are being exploited as cheap labor. The greed lies in corporate America, IMO.

Whoops -- Congratulations! - Typing too fast n/m

just misdirected.

these people are here legally and came to live as americans (at least, i would hope so).

i don't blame the indians, pakistanis, filipinos, or anyone else who takes off-shore work from american companies. they want work as much as any of us.

i blame the infidelity of companies who send work outside the USA. "allegiance to the flag?" don't think so.

You've got to be kidding me .... does race have to come into everything nowadays? - Sickofit

There was not anything racist or "stereotyping" about the original post. Why would you even suggest a thing?? Good grief and no wonder this country cannot move forward.

"a class of citizens I despise." OP was referring to Indians and Pakistani.

Most certainly a racist statement

Sounds True Blue American to me. - We need to help ourselves. NM

...is how you describe Indian and Pakistani people.

Economics 101. They provide a service at a lower price. Same reason a ton of US business is done offshore. Manufacturing. Healthcare (not just records, there are radiologists reading US films overseas). Pharmaceuticals. You name it. It's a global economy.

I don't like it any more than you do. I lost a good job because the small MTSO I worked for sold out to an Islamabad company. But, that does not cause me to despise and hate all Pakistani and Indians.

What about US citizens from Pakistan or India? Do you despise them too?

I've been looking at exchange rates as well as information on salaries for MTs in India trying to figure out what they are earning. As best I can tell, a rupee is worth about 2 cents. If my math is correct, a starting MT is earing about $160/month. I cannot find any information as to their line rate. If anyone has better math skills (and it would not be difficult) please correct me. At that rate, you can see why they want all the work to go to India. Even ...

If anyone knows of a hospital, clinic, or large practice offering remote full-time or part-time employee positions, I would really appreciate an email.

Yes, I watch all the various employment sites and even individual hospital sites, but I was hoping that maybe, just maybe someone who works for a hospital that does th ...

It has been inconvenient, and maybe a bit confusing at times, to check my time card hours for my shift as, because of my time zone, part of my hours show up on the next day because I work 2nd shift. I wonder if I will get overtime for yesterday, even though I did not work overtime. I had to start work several hours early because of maintenance, so all hours were completed before the hour my hours start showing up on the next day. Fine. But the last couple hours of yesterday show up as today, ...

Ever since they have changed Schedule Source and now it has a display called today's activity with "actuals" hours, this has not matched the hours shown with the time clock punches and is less than the hours according to the clock punch. The difference adds up to a significant amount over time. I am really suspicious about being jypped paywise. ...

I worked for MQ full time and then went to part time last year, before finally quitting altogether because of health problems. I seem to remember an obscure policy that if you were full time and then went to part time, you could not go back to full time for a period of at least 1 year. Can anyone verify that for me? IF, and this is a big IF, I were to go back to work for MQ, I would need to be full time. ...

Does anyone care to share that if you are hired at optiscript part time will they let you change to full time easily? I know they are a small company and do not over hire so I do not know how easily this could be done. I am thinking of cutting down to part time at my current employee so I can work part time elsewhere and eventually just leave my current employee once I see how the land lays elsewhere. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated :) ...

I am still debating whether to enroll at Andrews or M-TEC. My husband is retiring in 2 years and I want to be able to work part-time after that. Is it realistic to think that I can complete the course at Andrews or M-TEC in 12 months at the most, work full time for a year and then part-time after that. I would want to be able to work from home. I guess the other question is "How long after graduating could I expect to earn enough to make it worth the investment, in a reas ...

My company was honest and upfront when we started using ChartNet. They told us that once you enter a report for VR, the time clock does not actually start for 60 seconds.
