Do you have a compliance department? the only thing I can think of is letting them know, because when I was in the hospital environment they were scared shitless of being found noncompliant, because holy $$$ Batman

Ugly In The Morning posted:I had this happen when I first got into safety. I was working at an urgent care making like 12.50 an hour, without even hitting 40 so they were paying me like 25k. One of their clients poached me away for 44 an hour with hefty overtime, so it was like a 125k raise. The urgent care said if it was about money they could give me a raise! …of a dollar an hour. lmao when I was looking into transferring to the IT dept my boss was like "if I get you a dollar more an hour will you stay" binch maybe if you gave me the training and tools for my current job here I would've thought about it but no, playing president of some org on company time and having me do 80% of your job in addition to my own was more important to you god quitting that place felt SO GOOD (covid hit and there was a hiring freeze, and she refused to let me stay wfh)

We need butt wipers and we need people designing and maintaining the chain of supply of wipes to said butt wipers, the true enemy is capitalistic parasites who drain us out of our labor and life now for content I worked for a hospital who installed a very pricy EHR and then got bought by another health conglomerate who used a different EHR. We got moved from our nice office to a "renovated" warehouse out by the airport. Toilets didn't work, the air ducts were never cleaned and it was basically set up like a call center with rows of desks, no personal effects allowed. There was a large metal staircase going up to the second floor. Monsoon season came, and lightning hit the building, the staircase lit up and there were several people injured and computers fried. When we asked if we could work from home while there were repairs made we got told it wasn't possible, but strangely enough the consultants could work from their hotel.

I heard from an old coworker that the person my boss shoved into my position when I left due to WFH being rescinded for the whole dept is quitting because she doesn't want to get the vaccine, and HER boss is asking her why she needs two leads anyhow. This is funny to me for two reasons: 1. My boss was super excited when we hired this person because she agreed to get certified in the organization boss was president of, and thought she could somehow take over all of the stuff I was doing. 2. The fact her boss is asking her why she needs 2 leads tells me she couldn't get past HR to put her in the analyst position, which she had converted a lead position into for the purposes of me basically doing 80% of her job in addition to my own. Also before I left (6/2020) I set up the line count reporting spreadsheets for the chart auditing through the end of 2021 as a courtesy. Boss refused to make time to learn how to do it. She's made a lot of noise about how she engineered the whole process. tick tock

Azuth0667 posted:Make sure to share the schadenfreude with us when it happens. Update! Coworker got back to me, the three other people in the dept that I told boss could probably learn what I did have all left. The sad thing is, when a transcription department loses people like this, the beancounters start making noise about just outsourcing all of it since the current staff can't keep up and wind up outsourcing the overflow to keep up with turnaround time. Coworker was also asked if she wanted to learn the lead stuff and she refused, haha I feel bad for the other staff as they are mostly older women who are single and this was their whole career, but the writing was on the wall for quite some time.

Sloppy posted:At a previous firm I had an incredibly brilliant (in our field) yet also insane and toxic coworker with serious anger issues (and he was an Alex Jones Kool-Aid conspiracy theorist). His unstable and explosive personality made my life hell for three years until I amassed enough experience to quit and join my dream firm in town. Hah! At a hospital I worked for, the pathology transcriptionist was always late, always drunk. He'd bring in his "coffee" in a huge styrofoam cup. His quality of work was getting worse and worse, and he eventually got kicked out of his office in pathology and back in with the rest of the transcriptionists, still doing the work He went full high catty bitch after this, and I would have to fix his gently caress ups, because our lovely "manager" was previously the admin assistant to the department and had no real managerial experience and no idea of conflict resolution. Anyhow, he started showing up to work, swiping his badge in the entrance lobby, and then just... leaving. It was random if he'd remember to come back and swipe back out for the day. It took MONTHS for the hospital to shitcan him, probably out of fear of a discrimination lawsuit (dude was gay, and very loudly insinuated it was discrimination every time he got asked to do anything). So when the managers at the next two places I worked for asked me about his name on resumes, the look of horror on my face was all it took to get him binned. gently caress you, dude.

Lazyfire posted:My company started the vaccine mandate roll out yesterday and in true megacorp fashion they hosed up the link and no one could log in to certify their vaccination status. They fixed it and I was able to upload my card and everything without any trouble this morning. I didn't realize it at first, but there's almost no time to register; you need to submit something by October 15th and be fully vaccinated before the end of the year. All new employees starting after November 15 have to be fully vaccinated. This is all with full remote work being an option for office employees in perpetuity as it's been wildly popular, though some managers have required on site work for their people at least once a week. lol my partner's in the heat and fuel delivery business and two major contractors just stated they aren't letting anyone on site who hasn't been vaxxed I wonder what the drivers unions who have been content to be antivaxx are gonna do (this is in BC)

One of the hospitals I worked at did Medicare fraud and as part of the settlement, everyone, down to housekeeping, had to do dumb computer based training things on ethics for like, five years. It was multiple choice, so I wrote down and made up a packet with the answers, which to my great amusement did not change the next year. Or the year after that. My packet was very popular.

stinch posted:i hate task lists in Excel. they always end up as an impenetrable mass of text with 10 different cell colours for different things. they only really work if one person is updating it and it's their primary focus. My last boss was fond of offhandedly asking me to do something either in person or via email and then asking near constantly what the status was. The only form of tracking she could grasp was Outlook tasks. It stopped the nagging but she really wasn't happy when I could pull up exact documentation of when something got finished along with file location on a shared drive because she couldn't poo poo on me anymore and say I didn't do something because she "lost" the email the file was attached to. A coworker texted me telling me how poo poo everything is and how old boss can't find anyone and has to try to hire out of state. Transcription is a very small field in my old town and everyone knows each other which tells me Word Has Gotten Around and nobody wants to deal with it.

Lol, my ex boss refused to give me any kind of official training in our incredibly niche software stating it wasn't ever in the budget, but had plenty of money to do poo poo like buy admission for people to e-conventions of the organization she was president of (the people attended from home and got paid to do so, there was no follow up or anything so I'm pretty sure they got paid to gently caress off for 8 hours x3 days) She then switched to denying me because I was dating a Canadian guy, saying I was just going to leave anyway so why bother? Welp guess she was right because I just lost any motivation for the job, last straw was her pretending covid wasn't a thing and wanting me in the office despite rising cases and a proven ability to work from home. I did move to Canada and am getting married next month, I hope it's cold comfort to her that she was right as she tries to figure out how to extend out spreadsheets that are critical that expire end of this year... that she was too busy to learn how to do and refused to read any documentation I made

The last place I was at, at 10+ years you'd get about 12 hours PTO a pay period. Anyone who stuck around in the department that long just... didn't want to take vacation, and the hospital used to pay out pto in excess of 200 hours at your normal hourly rate. Then they decided the cap was 120 hours and henceforth anything over was paid out at 75 cents on the dollar in order to "encourage" taking it. It was a poo poo show because we'd have people who knew the most and were the best at their jobs taking a solid month so they'd get paid out at their full hourly, or HR yelling at my manager about overages, who then bitched endlessly to me about how they have to fill out paperwork each pay period and get the employee to physically come in and sign it (they all worked from home, were largely 60+ and good forbid the hospital do an Adobe signature thing) so they would get their 12 hours paid at 75% tacked on to every check. They also removed PTO donation.

My wfh users (transcriptionists) had to have a separate computer for the radiology work they were doing, and they'd jump back and forth between that and acute care. I had them set up on a kvm switch and had the monitors set up so they could see the patient's chart for acute care to reference while doing the radiology. However, I couldn't remove or change the five minute screensaver kicking in on the acute care machines, which was a hassle for my users. So, I installed a nifty program called Caffeine that sent F15 every two or so minutes. Worked like a charm, my users loved me and I never told my micromanaging boss that it kept them as showing as "away" as a happy side effect

They all work from home, are older women who live alone, and aren't leaving the desk; the kvm being switched to the radiology machine means there's no input going to the acute care machine, causing them to lose access to seeing the chart.

Escape From Noise posted:It's pretty dumb. But basically there's a big craft beer event here in Osaka every year (except for the last two years) that's put on by the Osaka Brewer's Association and they invite all of the craft breweries in Kansai (the Kansai region contains the prefectures of Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Wakayama, Shiga, and Hyogo). Breweries don't apply or anything for an invite. They will invite you automatically if you are a brewery in Kansai not owned by a major beer company and have gotten your brewing license even within a couple months of the event. This isn't an invitational. That's not the point. It's meant to be for promoting the local scene, and I think is a very good way of helping new, and especially smaller breweries access a wider audience than they might normally be able to. The event's organizer has been doing it for years and, frankly, I think works her loving rear end off to put it all together and gets very little praise for it. Again, this is not an exclusive event, and it was never meant to be. There are invitational events as well. This just is not that kind of beer event. Ooooh, someone put on their tanty panties! I hope everyone else does a   and it doesn't spiral into anything dumb. Thanks for the tea sharing!

Das Boo posted:I used to work at Nickelodeon. One day I came into work and noticed my trashcan was gone. And my office mate's. And then my friend came in saying everybody's trashcan was gone. We got an email an hour later saying this was to "reduce waste from bin liners" and not to, you know, cut back on janitorial staff or anything. They took our goddamn trashcans and told us to use the communal bin in the kitchen. So any time you had a leaky nose, you'd either have to pile your snot rags on your desk or leave your workspace each time you wanted to drop a tissue in the bin. Huh. Back in about 2006 the hospital I worked at did this, but ONLY for non patient care areas like medical records and only for anyone not a manager because they wanted to spend less on "environmental services". This was after the hospital got bought by CHS; other such galaxy brain ideas implemented were "if you clock in a minute late it's considered a no call no show" and you'd get written up if you clocked in early. Two ICU nurses were shitcanned and the rest of the patient care staff had a mutiny. There was also a bomb threat called in on the parking garage. Shortly after this my department got outsourced, and while I was smart enough to have secured an adjacent position, there was so little work for me to do I was filing charts out of sheer boredom. I got to watch as the hospital hemorrhaged providers who were sick of bullshit until I also left I'm guessing that your situation was before a massive layoff?

DRINK ME posted:I am speaking to you from the past, as I am 80 some pages behind but I had an almost identical experience. We hired a new business writer for the team - I’m not sure what the role is actually called but this was a person to supplement our product development team, who would be responsible for everything from documentation to brochures. Lol, I had someone like that, except worse; she asked my boss about her tattoo which she got to cover up her portacath scar from chemo, and my boss made the error of pulling the collar of her shirt slightly aside when she was taking about it, which OBVIOUSLY was sexual harassment. I had no idea about any of this and later had to ask this person to take comp time because we had run out of dictation to type and got a big ol all caps email back (most staff in transcription work from home) screaming about retaliation and when I asked my boss she said to take someone else off instead, so I did. However, this person decided to stay on the clock and NOT type, and I got a spicy call from a surgeon asking why his stats weren't done. She reported to HR horrid things about everyone else in the office but as much as she tried to elicit a response out of me the only thing she had was that I sat cross legged on my chair and that was unprofessional She finally hosed up bad enough to get fired when she wrote an email to the whole C-suite threatening to sue the hospital over a laundry list of dumb poo poo The real psycho part was while she was in house for training she was just as nice as could be, made me real gunshy around the replacement
