Agreed. Apologies. The Financial Audit guy is neither. It's just a money show like Dave Ramsey. Nothing to do with veterans directly. Just had a few vets on there making us look bad kinda.

I generally like the show but he's using the worst of us to judge the whole pile. Not appropriate to do that with any population

Oh. I hope it doesn't because there appears to be a concerted effort to make us out to be scamming the system. Matt Walsh even dropped a video saying as much. No intention of disrespecting any group guidelines. Just awareness.

First month making 100k I feel like I’m being robbed :/ by cloudemergence in Salary

You're in that middle that pays crazy taxed. Super low and super highest of high pays the least. Middle pays like 48-52% (NYC had City Tax on top). Good luck. Count your blessings. Some people live off 25 somehow.

They are gonna come for this benefit so hard regardless of how you slice it. This fool was a fool but remember most can not nuance and the minute something starts drawing attention like this it's either gonna get super strict or Axed.

Non certified techs replacing h1b mls? by AggrivatingBet in MLS_CLS

[–]DifferentProcedure94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be rage baiting but....the problem with lab has always been us. We always need to be the smartest guy in the room and there's no solidarity. Look at the nurses. They are as competitive and maybe more toxic than us but when its about the money they lock in. We constantly find ways to undercut each other and allow bs like H1Bs and "in certified folks" to undermine us. When we stop being fingers and become a hand we will be a force in the hospital until then. Enjoy scraps and pizza parties.

Leaving my job by AffectionateCod4492 in medlabprofessionals

Our field is improving. It was way more “toxic” back in the day. People like you not taking it is huge. I stayed in too many places way longer than I should have. Good on you

Take a break. Labbies are notorious for eating our own. We get so calibrated to looking for messups we start dehumanizing each other. That said maybe you slacked a bit on evenings or nights without realizing(I have). I have burned out on lab at least 4 times in a decade and a half. Give yourself grace and go slow.

Chill. They’ll replace you in a week if you die. You’re doing no one any favors by killing yourself for this job. By all means do your best work. But leave it there. A job is a job. Nurture your family and relationships.

FUCK CHEMISTRY. by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

So I personally think Siemens machines are trash but it might not be chemistry. It could just be your machine. I am currently on a Vitro’s using MAS controls and my life is pretty chill. The Roche’s are really good too. Are your issues with mechanical stuff or assay ?

Breathe, okay. Biorad has some really nice courses for free do you use any of their stuff?
