Thanks for the history lesson lol. That sounds like EY though. For the longest time we weren’t allowed to have any Pepsi products at any of our events either

Used it in college. Didn’t realize how bad it was until I got into accounting and started using it on a PC. Some functions don’t even work on a Mac.

Oh dear god. Is there anything about your job that requires Mac specific software? If not steer clear. Macs can open Excel files created on Windows and your sanity will thank you

In light of all discussions on FB, it seems to me that individuals at our firm have been removed out of EY beyond PIP related issues.
To help the community brace itself, please provide facts on your Utilization, level, leads, YoE at EY, and network.
My experience seems that the ones let go, had weak network.

Have any respiratory therapists found jobs OTHER than being a clinical RT? I want to possibly change careers, but I am finding that a lot of jobs (clinical liason, utilization review, etc) want you to have a nursing degree, not a respiratory degree. I feel like as an RT we are limited to jobs.

Welcome everyone! I’m so happy this is being utilized. A little background on me, I got my Bachelor’s when I was 20 and immediately went into both Child & Adult Protection careers. I then worked as a crisis counselor and a behavioral health specialist, and now I’m 26 at Monroe Plan for Medical Care working on expanding our Health Home Program into a new county where I’m our only employee!! My goals are to grow financially so that I can give back to our underserved populations even more.
