This defines Labcorp to a Tee

Quote
















































The most disappointing thing about LC,besides the worst commission plan design, is the lack of caring about the patients. This company is all about pointing fingers and not about fixing the problem and taking care of the patients. This place is run like a start up lab with the same problems occuring every day and never getting fixed. The patients are the ones affected most by the lack of caring. It makes me sick to my stomach knowing what i know about this company. We use a DOS based billing system created in the 80s? No wonder we have an unbeleivable amount of billing issues every day.

It's not just the lab side - it extends to the covance side too. Shame, shame, shame.

Who gives a rats ass about the patient?... It's all about me. They don't pay me for what I'm worth therefore I give them no more then 4 hours a day. Wake up Dave King! Start paying your reps for what they directly bring you. This ridiculous plan is a joke. If you had a plan that related to what we sell then maybe I'd put in an honest days work.
 






Whether you understand this or not, you do not matter to the big picture. You are a replaceable unit in a system that works. If the system produces a profit it has served it's purpose. What you describe is capitalism to a tee and you are a perfect fit. The system becomes increasingly corrupt in its effort to survive withe an objective to dominate the competition. Likewise, internal controls like QA, become corrupt in order meet the only real goal of the system, enhance profits. As a consequence, secrecy, under the guise of "security", becomes paramount. Correcting the reasons for errors, which would resolve issues, would you put the finger on who is actually responsible for tne problem. Causes of errors like not following critically necessary and universally accepted protocols, and overworking understaffed and underpaid employees are ignored because fixing would increase costs.

As the previous poster most accurately observed, without proper controls, these error ridden managers' jobs morph into scape goating, by manufacturing tidy finger pointing reports and documents by finding scandoulos ways to place the blame on someone else, usually blind siding some well meaning overworked sucker. Weaseling out of responsibility is their only perceived means of survival. They dare not make a suggestion to do anything that might increase expenses. However, any idea that will exploit workers is well received. After all, the more expenses fall below lab budget, the greater his/ year end bonus.

I heard the west is constantly losing business/contracts. It sounds like new management will be arriving soon. The cat is out of the bag.

Do you really think it would make a difference? You would think that all of the corporate micromanagement would allow the site manager the time and opportunity to correct some problems like mislabeled specimens, lost body parts, data entry errors, inaccurate and/or incomplete test orders, stretching the truth and spinning lies while seeking ways to transfer blame from themselves....." Well it's in the S.O.P.'s.".....WTF. Creeps me out that anyone would accept this crap as leadership.

I don't agree. I think most employees care about patients. It all starts with Phelbotomy. In CA they suck. They make so many errors and are rude to patients. It starts there. I do agree on the DOS system. It's horrible.
