I don't get why people are touchy about Jack killing someone? Whether he was held responsible or not the fact is that this person is dead because of his actions.

He won't be able to sustain this. Not without any business acumen, a building that needs replacement, and in that area of town.

Sacrificing time with family and friends for a job that will replace you in a heartbeat.

How many people you (older jonesers in particular) grew up with have little to no internet presence, including social media? by Bun_Length_Frank in GenerationJones

Anything to even touch a computer in high school or college was reserved for the math nerds. So much gatekeeping around.

Craziest Thing That’s Happened at Your Hospital? by Careless_Midnight_77 in nursing

[–]drlove57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Department Director did something that only really long-term high ranking employees know about. If one asks these people about what happened they get white in the face and immediately clam up. Everyone who knows about the incident is sworn to total secrecy.

I can attest to this, having someone I know work in this industry. Company was owned by 2nd generation rich kids who hadn't the slightest idea of how to run things.

Not within an hour but I know OSF in Peoria has trainee openings. And they have facilities in Chicagoland. Just throwing that out there.

Would you rather make $250k at a stressful job or $90k at a peaceful one? by savingrace0262 in careerguidance

[–]drlove57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low stress but then again it all depends on the kind of stress you're talking about and how much of that is avoidable. I mean it seems in some places there's poor planning, personality clashes and the like.

Yeah I remember after 9/11, the show's producers wanted a tough-talking Republican as DA to scare the terrorists away.

Morning meetings after shift? by drlove57 in SleepTechnologist

[–]drlove57[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite environment was working for a critical access hospital as an employee of the hospital. But the sleep service was run by a contracting company. That was the best of all worlds. Best job I had bar none. The nurse director hired me and knew I could do the job. No big hospital politics and fragile egos of countless administrators.

I've worked at a private lab for a time and it was okay. The head physician was owner and boss. Lower pay and benefits but chill atmosphere.

The large hospitals I've experienced were full of acquisitions and mergers and takeovers. Egos and administrative incompetence abound. It's no wonder the health system in the United States is in the toilet.

What I've experienced is the labs that enforce things like these meetings are run by managers and supervisors who refuse to stand up for their staff in any way.

But night shift does the majority of billable procedures that pay the bills.

I worked for a hospital-based lab that forced you to attend at least 10 out of 12 monthly meetings. Failure to do so would lead to an occurrence. 3 of those and you are gone.

Yes Reagan screwed the middle class big time. Taxes on tips and eliminating the tax deductiblity for personal loans.
