Does It Make Sense to You?

So temps are supposed to be "safe" for 2 more years, and regular status will most likely all have jobs in the "new system". They're saying some temps may end up keeping jobs. No roll-out for another year and when they do, it will be a different area....Round Rock area?

Yeah, lets f*** with another part of Texas.

Makes you wonder - if temps are not receiving evaluations, how do you choose which temp to keep and which to let go? Tenure alone shouldn't be what the choice is based on because we all know that's what they basically based the selection at HHSC on - and some of the employees kept were not as good as some that got RIF notices. Of course, they've rescinded those now and we're spending more money hiring temporary staff to hold the offices together. Anyone with this type of work experience knows that not just anyone can come in off of the street and do this job. It takes a certain type of personality and not everyone has it. Besides, as a "temp" and knowing that you were employed "at will", wouldn't you still be looking for a permanent job? I would!

So - back to square one. Too much work, not enough workers.
Hmmm...sounds like too many chiefs and not enough Indians......

HHSC and Accenture are just hiring people left and right and without adequate training and monitoring, letting them determnine eligibility for our elderly, disabled and poor. It doesn't seem to matter whether they do it accurately or not. Just get it done. We used to get QC Reports and errors were a major deal! Now - QC? What's that?

With what Hawkins and Co. have done, we're just desperate to keep a "live body" in the job now.

No more Enhanded Funding Bonuses from the Feds. Loss of matched Medicaid dollars. QC Liabilities. Financial penalties from the Feds (Anyone wonder why there's no talk about that yet? Gee - who's in charge over there?)

Sorry, I know I have rambled. But I'm tired. I'm tired of working all the time. I'm tired of my kids saying they don't get to see me anymore. I'm tired of not having a home life - missing my TV shows, missing my normal personal interactions. I'm tired of Hawkins, Accenture - TAA - Rick Perry, Craddick, the crooked majority, (still hating Wohlgemuth too).....




Just vote, people. Please.
