Dude alright?

Peak capitalism e-mailing HR while concussed.

I see A LOT of people come in for imaging studies stemming from on the job injuries that get real cagey when you try to ask them basic history questions about the injury or straight up beg me that they 'don't want their job to find out'.

bonus capitalism edit: This weekend I was conversing with coworkers at my per diem hospital job about how they are changing the annual cost of living raise to merit based on your performance eval (weird that this change is coming right after the hospital posted $9,000,000 in the black, the first profit in over a decade). I just sat there and said yeah raises suck, my full time job hasn't given out a raise since the buyout in 2008. They rely on the capitalist stigma against discussing your pay with your coworkers in order to prevent the old guard from realizing the new hires are being paid more than them.

A younger coworker was railing about her other job no longer giving raises to per diems. She's a delusional capitalist that doesn't understand that corporations are more than eager to dismantle the rights of labor. She honestly does not seem to comprehend the notion that a company is not required to provide raises.

what's a per diem job? you get paid per day? or you don't have a long-term contract but get hired day-by-day?

Yeah, I�ve never heard that term used that way. Usually my experience is it describes how much per day you can expense on various meals while on a business trip (or just a lump daily sum added to your pay for the dates of the trip and you expense any overage)

It depends. You can get paid per day worked, or per day even if you don't work. I get per diem every day of the week as long as I'm "on the road" for a project.

It is supposed to cover living arrangements for someone traveling away from their home base.

Edit: Reading the context of that post... I'm with you. That's not the typical application of the term and I don't loving get it.

Per diem health care contracts are a thing in hospitals for nurses and OTs, PTs, etc. I think that term means the shift is allocated/shifted around based on need - like you need another x # ot nurses because you had extra patients in that wing. I'm not sure of the details and how it works between departments.

This is right although most hospitals call it PRN, not per diem.

Same as mine. It also allows for travel days when you're not working, per se, but you are doing things that monopolise your time that are essential to your job.

The Real Amethyst: Apr 20, 2018; When no one was looking, Serval took forty Japari buns. She took 40 buns. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.

I was standing up in the back of the ambulance when the driver took a hard turn and I got slammed to one side of the vehicle and sprained 2 of my fingers. I nearly fell on top of my patient too.
We're not allowed to stand while the vehicle is moving so I can't say poo poo. But it's nearly impossible to work in most ambulances without at least having to remove your seatbelt to grab things.
What was I reaching for? A loving tissue so my patient could blow their nose.

My #1 fear is being in the back and being involved in an actual crash. It's literally just a fibreglass box body with almost zero crash protection. That and having seats and odd angles and often not wearing seatbelts, ensures that most ambulance crashes are fatal. Scares me a bit.

I guess I could make a big deal about it and go to occupational health about my screwed up fingers but I think management will just discipline me or something.

Oh sorry here's a video.

I've been involved in a roll over after my rescue got t-boned, while I was standing up. It's uh, not good. Nothing broken, thankfully, just lots of aches and pains for a week or so.

Where did you end up coming to rest, any issues getting out of it? I'm always afraid all the equipment and the stretcher could come loose and cause a lot of harm or pin me down.

Good question. I don't know but I imagine it's a more comprehensive insurance type, not like typical vehicle insurance and they probably don't care.

Not sure but makes me think of BC's insurance which is provincially run. Every single accident is them against themselves.

I hate this.

If you don't want people to unbuckle in the back of the ambulance, you need to set up your box so that people don't have to loving unbuckle. A no-standing policy doesn't loving work when you put needed staples six feet away from the bench.

This would likely vary wildly between jurisdictions but let's say you have a fleet and have collision coverage on all your vehicles. Then you're covered for damage done to the insured property, regardless of fault. You'd get a check cut and a large rate hike next renewal, if they don't drop you after the term. If you had only liability and maybe comprehensive you'd probably get a check for the vehicle deemed not at fault (or some pro rated percentage thereof unless there's some variation in state/province law) up to the policy limit and nada for the at-fault vehicle. And a rate hike if not complete disavow at term's end.

Either way you're getting a huge rate increase with your current carrier or whichever future carrier you'll be doing business with.

I literally just did some safety training for stuff like chemical labels and I can say that that label is for a variety of slow acting dangers, including things like carcinogens. Sort of like a catchall for everything that won't kill you right away (which still has the good ole skull and crossbones).

Also thread related, I just did a few hours of safety training and I'm finally up to date on everything after a few months of letting poo poo lapse :toot:
