Corporate vultures have swooped into the ol' lab and made lives miserable for the employees, which is why some of the staff are leaving for a better place, or a new lab. New Lab, fresh start, better opportunities, faster growth (not management pocketing all the profits). It's easier to provide for the mass of private doctors offices when your a faster, smaller and more nimble company, not like sitting around in Ivory towers on a farm having meetings about aboslutely nothing, trying to pass the hours while whipping sales reps and couriers and phlebotomists into submission and threatening them with layoffs. Sure, they no longer value their employees, but try to replace them with temp or part time workers. Let them bleed their once loyal employees until the better of the employees get fed up and leave,.. this is the beginning of answering Doctors prayers of finding new competition and reinstilling a little pride into an enslaved and repressed employee.
