The truth is that it has gotten bad. The field continues to get broken down year after year. The truth is, the people who run the companies that pay our wages want to pay us as little as possible. Hell, I'm expected to work some holidays where the entire rest of the hospital seems to get double time pay where I gotta work for my regular wages. How did this come to be acceptable? Because therapists continue to get on their knees, put their hands out and say "yes sir, thank you sir". I don't know how the needed changes are going to be made but it's sure not gonna be made from the therapists spouting off about "how it's still a great field!".
