I will post any job requirements or description if asked

If one of you assholes want to apply let me know I can give you the info needed for the referral… (no I dont make any money on it)

12.60/hour for something that requires a college degree? Doesnt lasertron pay 10 something? I am pretty sure after each week with tips and stuff it came to consistent 12 something an hour when I was there 2 years ago

well you pay $0.00 for health insurance

and you go up fast like within 6 months you can be at $15

How else would they make money on firing experienced workers and replacing them with entry level noobs? they have to pay them shit, 130ish people just got samir naga…naga…notgonnaworkhereanymoreanyway’ed.

Good opportunity for the right person though. But I LOLed at “Ability to demonstrate Independent Health’s core values which include being Passionate, Caring, Respectful, Collaborative and Accountable”. If those were actually an insurance company’s core values their competition would kill them faster than it kills its patients that require expensive treatments.

one of the few places that has a pension i have seen which would be nice.

Will they pay higher if you decline insurance?

I lol’d

They were getting shit from employer groups that were looking to take us as a company and it was the why is everyone laying off but you … soooo 3 weeks latter …boom …they let people go that they have been trying to let go for a while… they also “sold” a part of the IT dept and “sold” (rented the name ) to our nova line … its dumb …

its nice … to know that when I am 65 Im going to get a check from this fucking place … every month

$50 a month

Any opportunity for a 2nd shift type job for a current stay @ home mom?

god i hate our health insurance system. (obviously)

they have a 8-4, 10-6 12-8 shift … the 10-6 gets 10% shift diff and 12-8 gets 15%

I would love a 12 to 8 job. The only thing I do between 5 and 8 is go home and sleep because i’m tired from waking up early.

I’m reading through the “requirements”…
Is it like every other job posting where you try to get more of an employee than you lost?

She has no medical back round, but it can’t be that hard to learn.

I had no background when I came here ~6 years ago … the hardest thing it to learn the systems we use

LOL :bigclap:

shut up aaron, get this job and stop working at applebees so you can buy me those knives!!

lol idiot…

nobody works at applebees fggt

Aaron there are a lot of single gay guys here
