Would You Bid for a Job?
Roland Piquepaille writes "Several U.S. hospitals have found an innovative way to deal with nursing shortage. They post shift openings and the highest hourly rate they're willing to pay on their internal networks. Then, the nurses bid online for these extra shifts. The lowest bidders get the shifts and are notified by e-mail. This bidding process is almost certainly a good thing for the hospitals, but is it good for the nurses? Or safe for you? And what will happen if other industries also adopt auction systems? Imagine a company telling you, "Hey, you want to make some extra dollars by building this car or writing this piece of software? Name your price, and you'll make some more cash." What do you think of this bidding process? Read more before posting your comments."
lol jews did wtc
Au contraire, good old Roland is a long-time story submitting cock-gobbling front-page-spamming whore.
The waiting in the emergency room isn't due to lack of funding... it's a random thing based on whether a higher-priority case is in your way at the moment.
You're a fucking idiot. Either that, or you're on a different planet. I've waited on 3 occasions at 3 different hospitals with a busted open arm/leg for a mexican with a cold to get done getting served before I was attended to. 'Is it still bleeding? No? We will be right with you - here's an icepack!'
Actually, the people who agree with Noam Chomsky probably had to READ his views... ...which automatically pegs thier abilities far beyond the capabilities of most of Bill O'Reilly's illiterate fans.
Aren't you a dumbfuck... Jumping to conclusions without due research. Most of such software allows nurses who have ALREADY WORKED their fulltime hours to bid on _extra_ hours, if they want more money, thereby earning extra cash and saving the company/hospital extra money they would pay out to temp staffing agencies in the case of a nurse shortage.
Nurses are mostly unionized and the union would go ballistic if such software is actually used to undercut their salaries. So you really should read into how they run such software before you go out blurting stupid shit like this.

You live in the best country in the world with the most opportunities anywhere, yet you still want to blame your failures on others.
HIS failures?
You unfeeling, smug, arrogant, self-righteous, cavalier, insolent, supercilious, complacent, sanctimonious, high and mighty, pontificating, brainwashed capitalist pig PRICK.
There is a difference. The odds that a starving nigger comes up with viable fusion are non-existant.
Unemployed Americans have way better odds.
Who cares about starving niggers? My sympathy goes to an unemployed american with an SUV and a dual opteron system ANY DAY.
However now with the minimum wage laws it doesn't work that way. The government now tells employers how much a job is worth.
You have to be kidding me or completely retarded. US minimum wage says no job is worth less than $5.15 an hour. That's piddily.
You absolue free market dorks believe that individuals should undercut each other without relizing the collecting ass fisting workers receive in the end. How we suppossed to buy stuff if we've priced ourselves to the point where we can't afford it?
