Bostwick problems

























You people are ridiclous!!!!!!!!! Rant and rave about Bostwick like a bunch of middle schoolers. "Go to work, do your job and stop biting the hand that feeds you" If you don't like the channel you're watching then change it....and get the hell out. Take the nasty negative attitudes somewhere else. Pussies

Really because i work probadly harder then you.
 












I have worked many places, and Bostwick has been the best. Yes they have things that need to be fixed , but no place is perfect.
I love my job in histology, and I really don't want to lose it.
All you people that do not appreciate haveing a job with Bostwick go find one someplace else .
I think God everyday that I still have a job.
 


















So long everybody, it's been real! Bye bye! I'll miss you!... No I won't! I'm done, but then again, so are you. Peace out!

Seriously people, are we in middle school? Sorry if you hate BL, I do too, but if you can't contribute to the conversation in an adult manner...well maybe you should go back to the AOL chatrooms you came from. It's one thing to criticize the management (well, lack thereof) of BL, and the great DGB himself, but it's quite another to come on here and act like a 12 year old. Congratulations, you made yourself look like a imbecile.
 






I had the misfortune of working for BL a few years ago. From the day of my interview with DB I had an uneasy feeling but I decided to throw caution to the wind and take a chance. Big Mistake. My first day on the job I witnessed a few issues with a number of departments. People seemed to work in fear all of the time. I have to say that the people that I had the pleasure of working with were good people but the Company was mismanaged from the beginning. The day I decided to leave was better than Christmas.
 






























This is nothing...haven't you seen the LabCorp or Quest sites? Also, all ofthis could have been created by competitors. Why does anyone believe anoonymous posts? Emotions vs. facts...
 






As a current employee almost every thing that is being written on here is true. I doubt if this company will be around a year from now. I started sending out resumes this week.

I have to agree with above, had similar experience for the most part except leaving the good people there was hard. IMHO I agree the company is poorly managed.
 






The crumbling of David Paterson's accidental governorship comes as no surprise to former top aides, who say Paterson loves the trappings of power, but not the work. The governor -- who announced Friday he would suspend his election campaign amid calls from Democratic leaders that he resign -- shows little interest in policy. He resorts to grilling press handlers about what to do about big budget and policy issues and has told his budget director to "just decide what to do." He is often unreachable for up to three days at a time.
But Paterson cloaks his lightweight status in the garb of formality. Top staffers need an appointment to walk into his office, and even his most senior aides have to check in with his secretary to confirm that they can approach him.

He takes a daily lunch break from noon to 1 p.m., which no one is allowed to interrupt.
No one on staff -- not even his top aide, David "D.J." Johnson -- is permitted to call him "David." Everyone must refer to him as "Governor." A spike of activity occurs between 1 and 3 p.m., which is marked on his schedule as "suggested desk time," a phrase that has become something of a joke among staffers, as if real work is only optional. Paterson usually quits the office at 4 p.m.. Some evenings, he invites staffers over to the Governor's Mansion in Albany for dinner. In the past, he has been offended if they don't drop what they are doing at work to socialize with him. One former staffer described him as "very detached," with a "very light schedule," with an aversion to hard work.

Nonetheless, he carries an air of entitlement, and views himself as a smart and effective leader to the end, said one former staffer. The staffer described him as a "baby," turning on aides at the drop of a hat. While known in public for his affable demeanor, privately he is prone to temper tantrums. He can berate subordinates, telling them, "You shouldn't have this job -- I will fire you." A former staffer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said

Paterson is "insanely mercurial," even with his top aides. Charlotte Hitchcock, for instance, was one of the governor's closest advisers and served as chief of staff until he decided to marginalize her because, he said, she "didn't know what she was doing." He often relies on the last person to give him advice, the former staffers said.

Paterson's zaniness torpedoed a high-profile bill extending unemployment insurance last summer, sources said. After intense talks with labor and business leaders, the governor hammered out legislation both sides could live with.

"Then he sent out his own program bill without discussing it with anyone -- and of course it was acceptable to no one," said a lobbyist. "It just shows a complete lack of understanding of how the process works."
