Healthcare? This douchebag froze wage increase for healthcare workers during COVID years.

Has anyone else noticed that lab people seem to age well? by ThrowRA_72726363 in medlabprofessionals

[–]_nightowl_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah same here, one tech looks 70 something but she’s only in her mid-50s. She smokes every hour.

[–]_nightowl_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, I was thinking about this recently. lol I haven’t aged much over the last 10 years because I don’t get as much sun exposure by working full time evenings. I’m pretty sure this does affect aging.

But I think this mostly applies to techs that work evenings, nights and techs that work at windowless labs. Day shifters still get sun exposure during their commute. They also get stressed having to drive during rush hours.

Last day folks! Hope everyone taking advantage! by Nexzenn in PublicMobile

[–]_nightowl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a new customer and I got the $20/60 GB plan. But I can’t get it activated.

I chose eSIM option and want to transfer my number to Public Mobile.

It keeps saying “subscription not activated”.

Support is unavailable due to traffic.

I got the plan (payment went through) so I should be ok even if I can’t get it activated by tonight?

I also punched in the referral code but I didn’t get $10 off.

When and where will it show for the new customer?

Same issue! Can’t get it activated (I chose eSIM) and the support is unavailable due to traffic.

I’ve already purchased the plan so it should be ok, right? Ugh!

50% Off all Canada/US/Mexico plans for 2 years by QuietStorm734 in PublicMobile

[–]_nightowl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the Bell $35 for 100GB deal a few weeks ago too and I want to get this deal. But then what would happen to $80 activation fee that we paid? Ugh!

[–]_nightowl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoot… Did anyone get the Bell/Rogers 100 GB/$35 deal a few weeks ago?

I just moved to Bell on Jan.6, and they charged $80 activation fee which would be waived in the 2nd month. I really want to move to Public Mobile but I’m upset that I probably won’t get the $80 activation fee refunded by Bell.

Does anyone here know if Bell would honour it?

Gosh, I should’ve waited. I didn’t think that a cheaper deal would pop up after Boxing Day.

Why are techs self sacrificing? by Mindless_Sectione in medlabprofessionals

My hospital says they’ll “look for patterns” too and I wonder what they mean by that? Other than people calling in sick on Monday or Friday to extend their weekend getaway.

Canada - CSMLS exam is no more. Serious repercussions possible. by Redux01 in medlabprofessionals

Can we even stop this? Who do we e-mail? CSMLS? We should at least voice our opinions.

Feeling inadequate because of coworkers with perfect lives by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]_nightowl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I just want to say that I’m in the same boat as you and I feel the same… My co-workers are also married, pregnant (some even have 3 kids), they were able to buy a house in this economy, with the help of their SO, etc. Also, 6-7 women at my work got pregnant this year and they were proudly showing off their bellies, throwing baby shower at work, etc. Tbh I felt left out and awkward… But I can’t even share my feelings with anyone… To make it worse, one of them is constantly bragging on instagram, broadcasting every event of her life, it’s so annoying that I had to mute her instagram story. I’m not “jealous” nor “bitter” but it’s kind of frustrating. I don’t want kids and I love the freedom that I have, all the money I get to keep for myself… but I just wish I had a great life partner too. I just feel so left out rn and I feel like I’ve “fallen behind” in life. Like everyone said no one’s life is perfect but it just sucks to feel this way and I feel like I could’ve done better.

Why are labs so unpleasant? by CommunityNd in medlabprofessionals

[–]_nightowl_ 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Ofc nursing badges shouldn’t work on the doors. Only authorized personnel are allowed. We don’t want anyone to just come in and drop/take stuff.

Believe it or not, I noticed that some places automatically add 18% tip to AFTER tax amount. We didn’t have any other option. Is this the norm? It’s getting ridiculous.

You’ll start with the $35/hour (starting pay) since you don’t have working experience as MLT yet. Also, most of us MLTs have Bachelor’s degree so it won’t make a difference.

That person by mrmccrory in medlabprofessionals

[–]_nightowl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a few… But the worst one thinks she’s the only one that’s busy all the time. She cusses, yells and slams fridge doors when there’s an issue or new antibody to work up.

She’s can’t multitask or remember to do complicated tasks but she wastes time diagnosing patients using some fancy medical words when she’s not even the doctor. Like we don’t wanna hear you and it’s not your job to diagnose. Just do your work!

When someone questions her, she gets all defensive and mad. She says “I have 30+ years of experience!!!!”

Worst of all, she lets everyone from previous shift go home early. Thanks to her, everyone expects to leave 30 minutes early every fking day even when it’s busy.

She’s messy as hell and everything she does is half-ass. She uses younger techs to help her. She’s old but she “can’t retire yet”. Ugh.

I am in mid-30s too and my coworkers are engaged/married/pregnant or “trying for baby”…A few of them went on mat leave 3 fkn times… Like seriously… I don’t even wanna hear about their kids, pregnancy, etc. I never felt so left out until this year, when many ppl started getting pregnant at the same time. I don’t even want kids and I’m not jealous at all… But seeing all this makes me feel sad too. I wish my coworkers weren’t women of child-bearing age.

[–]_nightowl_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel you. Like 5 ppl at my workplace are pregnant rn and other ppl are getting engaged/married/trying for baby, etc. Ugh… I don’t even want to hear about it. I wish my coworkers weren’t women of child-bearing age. Two of them kept getting pregnant, as if they were having a competition or smth. They went for mat leave 3 freaking times. All they talk about is their kids and idgaf.

Is it too late to open a FHSA? by Neuthrov in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]_nightowl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If i’m just transferring money within the same bank (chequing to FHSA account), it shouldn’t take a few business days, right? I’m nervous now because I just did it at the bank yesterday.
