Border Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Not going in to the details but back onto the job market I go Why is it that corporations think we can be bullied into doing what the doc's don't want to do, and insist that we have to do it for free? Hoping the job market is good right now ...... maybe I will do Locums or just retire and be done with this crazy medicine field and just let it melt down....

Maybe instead of quitting, just perform the "free labor" at such a painfully slow rate, and with such incompetence, that they decide they need a "real doc" to do it. I can work really, really, really slow if I want to. And if it isn't important work, I can usually figure out a way to do JUUUUUUST enough to get the idjits off my back. I think the job market is getting a little better, but there is a huge glut of new grad NPs out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAAdmission Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) Who are all these corporate leeches and where did they come from? They don't generate any revenue. Yet somehow they get rich over the misfortunes of our patients and through our labor. It's very strange.

TWR Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Maybe it is time to unionize. If it can be done in a way that doesn't affect the patient but hit the corporation where they feel it the most, in their botttom line which we all know is all they care about.

TWR Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Rev, nothing ventured nothing gained. You read the post that EMED posted about working for KP in a 1199 union (I believe)? That position today is over $90 an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing, just noting the classic union tactics have been slowdowns, stoppages, and strikes... and those are hard to do without hurting patients. Can we accomplish the same things with litigation and binding arbitration? It would be nice. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kettle Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 There's no doubt there is significant corporate greed. There are ways around this...... Move to undeserved areas, rural areas, make yourself invaluable, be really good at something that many are not, go into a field many don't like or is overlooked. Look at what @rev ronin does. Myself for example as well, residency trained in emergency medicine working and living rural. Started my own staffing agency outside of my w2 gig, i could work everyday of the month. There are ways around corporate greed, it takes hard work and sacrifice but it's doable!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are ways around corporate greed, it takes hard work and sacrifice but it's doable!!! Agree. I do the same. The downside is a lot of driving, but it's worth it. I quit one of my per diem jobs in sept of last year. They just approached me about coming back and basically said "tell us what it would take to bring you back". The thing is, I work enough at other places and am happy with the work, so even at the $150/hr I would ask I don't think I want to work more. I could work every day of the month. I just don't want or need to. If anyone is looking for a rural, critical access solo coverage position in WA, let me know. They are staffed by FP docs at this point, so anyone with EM experience can write their own ticket. Middle of nowhere. High volume and acuity. Solo coverage. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a bunch of PAs in Unions, and its great for benefits, PTO etc. Nurses are well known to strike, including the thousands in NY, even with the repercussions to patients (like the recent NICU death during a strike: https://www.nbcnewyork.com/investigations/parents-seek-answers-after-baby-dies-at-mount-sinai-during-nyc-nurses-strike/4078982/) The current political climate is very pro-union! Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
