Furloughs?

Quote


Cytotechnologists are being furloughed as the workload is increasing.
That is, some are being furloughed into two groups: group 1 is out for 4 weeks and returns while group 2 is furloughed for the next 4 weeks, returns, and the cycle repeats.
Who came up with this ridiculous idea? If you are going to furlough people, go by seniority and furlough them or lay them off so they can get on with their lives. What sense does it make to need to file for unemployment every 4 weeks?How you can play with and manipulate people’s lives according to your prejudices, likes and dislikes is juvenile and disingenuous. Because, quite frankly, nobody likes you, but who cares? When you are a real professional, nobody knows who you dislike. It’s about the work.

Yes, you are reading correctly. The workload is increasing to almost normal, and they are furloughing techs. Go figure.

That means workload is not at normal levels. Maybe at some labs, but in the NE the workload is down 50%!

Well if the workload is down by 50%, then either close down 50% of the labs and/or furlough or lay-off your techs by seniority. Without regard to gender, race, age, or sexual preference, And not giving preference to your buddy, personal informer(snitch)or for any other reason. You are all a bunch of frenemies anyway.
The idea of being treated like your yo-yo, and needing to file for unemployment every 4 weeks is ridiculous.
 
I thought narcissism, lying and not even fake empathy was a California LabCorp thing until we watched the Minneapolis video of the murder of George Floyd by sick racist lying cops. You have a similar personality in charge of a Southern California lab. How that happened is a mystery to everyone. Must be witchcraft. I kid you NOT. When she is not in the lab, it is so peaceful. When she is there, all you can hear is hysteria followed by loud laughter. The only thing that could possibly make her that happy would be her backing her car over a neighbor’s toddler.
How you let her get away with the lowdown things she does is a disgrace. All she has to do is raise her voice at you, or tell you that she had permission to do the dirty deed, and she has you eating out of her hand. This cytotechnologist, who is little more than a paranoid conspiring chit chatter, has finally learned to say “thank you”, and “I apologize .” (useful tools)

And here we go again: She is frightened, she says. With the continuous turnover of district managers, she must have found some new marks.If she is fears anything, it is her guilty conscience, and that the karma for her lies and deceit will catch up to her.That little demon is not afraid of anybody. That’s her con.

She practices witchcraft. That’s the only explanation. Seriously.
 
Good grief! She is at it again. Every time new management arrives, it is all about her feeling threatened. She equates fear with respect. But if she fears anything it is her guilty conscience.

She is gaslighting you, people.
 
Oh there is more to come: you know, like Why you nitpick 5 year retrospective reviews of Pap smears from patients with current low grade or high grade biopsy reports. The slightest reactive change is called at least ascus or agus. No notation for if the prior smear was representative of the biopsy. No concern for specificity Vs sensitivity. Especially since well known statistics show that when patients with Pap smears, reported as reactive, are biopsied, 27% will have high grade lesions. A supervisor who does not know this puts all the blame on the tech While placing the lab in legal jeopardy.
To speak up will result in this kind of crap being used to keep a cytotech’s mouth shut and in his/her place. That along with being lied on and having your phone calls ignored. And who can hollar racism when you have non- white actors doing the dirty work? You see what the Chinese are doing to the Africans in China and in Africa, don’t you? Racism is a global system.
Keep working “the craft” if you’d like. It will no longer protect you from your karmic realities. It is going to turn on you. B/c this is a new day and regardless of the trickery, the stuff they want hidden will be revealed.
Enough for today....
 
To give a bit more insight: We realize that the above posts may be somewhat esoteric. The issue with the 5 year retro is very clear. There is no code for Reactive changes. So when a tech reports a Pap as negative or NILM ( negative for intraepithelial lesion), reactive changes may be included in the diagnosis. It is disingenuous for a case that would have been called reactive, to later, after a biopsy, to be called an ascus (atypical cells of undetermined significance) or agus (atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance). All that is necessary to say is that the Pap was non-representative of the biopsy and any changes were cytologically insignificant.

There is nothing new about using stuff like that to threaten a tech who speaks out against unfairness and inequities. This was a tool employed, back in the day, by Pap mills or “shyt hole” labs. Sucks

Maybe this their attempt to save money while holding on to the stimulus money.
Whatever the reasoning, it is time for the hidden hands to be revealed.
 
Don’t you mean hidden agenda? For instance, didn’t they already get into serious problems when they were caught padding the slide court? Loading tech’s trays with fake cases. Same old dog. Same old tricks, but this time they are calling it “special studies”. “Ummmm, that’s the ticket. They’ll go for it.. They’ll believe anything.”
 
Thank for the belly laughs. We know of what you speak. Did you see General Mattis’s statement? For at least 1 1/2 years, there hasn’t been adult leadership in that particular lab. Hiding in her bunker, like Trump, from imagined who knows what ? Lmao.
