r/Maliciouscompliance I Got a Corrupt Doctor FIRED! 

OP neglected to get it in writing from the CEO that the dress code was rescinded. That should have come out to all departments/offices AND employees as a notice to all that the dress code, section ABC, subsection123, stating the dress code being rescinded, etc. Otherwise, it is merely a private conversation that could be denied in the future. Rescinded? Give that to me in writing to support the written warnings being permanently removed from her employee file. And, I hope Kelly's sudden change in attitude was the result of a dressing down by the CEO with a warning of the inappropriateness of being too involved in a subordinate employee's personal life.

If i'd been involved in that, the sales jackass would've been unconscious, physically pushing your colleagues like that is an absolute dick move, i'd also have words with the fucker's manager, cause physically pushing someone unprovoked is assault

No send the guy back for the insurance paperwork when he's gone ask the lady for the original ones and get the sale done before the guy gets back.

He wanted them for an F1 race. That's only 3 days. Unless he wanted to use them for something else going back later wasn't going to help.

I went back and listened and OP said they were radiology techs.

@@marylowther8495 r/slash was referring to them as doctors.

Techs do the imaging, then doctors look at the images and make the reports.

For the 1st story Smith is a radiology tech not a doctor. The only people who to imagin are radiology techs and you have radiology doctors who read and interpret the results for doctors as doctors don’t look at the actual images and read the report the radiologist interpretation

@@johnguzman5952 no, doctors absolutely read and interpret x-rays, MRIs, and the like. My friend Michael is a neurologist and he absolutely read the scans and images.

I was searching the comments for this. I’m just a humble artist but I was 99% sure he was wrong about that. He has his moments…

@@BeeWhistler Both during my education and at work it was emphasised how important it is to dispel misconceptions like this. Just doing my part ^^

Thanks for this, it saved me from making essentially the same comment. With modern, well-maintained x-ray equipment, even a thousand images are *highly* unlikely to cause any harm whatsoever. People do not need to be concerned in the slightest.

He doesn't mean one X-ray will give you cancer. Radiation damage is a cumulative thing. One X-ray absolutely does damage, it's just not enough to be a problem. Many multiple X-rays over a short period of time absolutely can be a problem. That's why you as a radiologist should be in a separate room or wearing lead aprons to protect yourself from repeated exposures. I would expect a radiologist to understand that. The problem with this guy screwing up the X-rays is that now the patient has to have yet more X-rays to get it right, doubling their exposure. If one X-ray was absolutely not harmful in any way, 1000 of them in a day would not be harmful either. Are you going to go to work tomorrow and take 1000 X-rays of your crotch tomorrow? If so, I have a Darwin award for you.

@@wingracer1614 I'm a radiographer, not a radiologist. Radiographers are the ones that take the images and scans, radiologists are the doctors that look through the finished product and write a response to the referal. Like I said: "The higher dose you receive, the higher the RISK that you suffer adverse effects in the future." One x-ray MIGHT cause damage. Not every photon launched from the x-ray tube will hit a piece of DNA and damage it. The more you are exposed to these photons, the greater the risk that a photon will hit and damage DNA. That is why, as you say, radiographers stand behind a shielded barrier or in a seperate room. As for your statement that if 1 x-ray is harmless, then 1000 x-rays are also harmless is obviously intentional hyperboli and ludicrous, but it's also decieving. One x-ray is harmless just like eating one pill of 500mg Paracetamol is harmless, or drinking a liter of water is harmless, or accidentally cutting my arm while wielding a knife is largely harmless. 1000 pills of 500mg Paracetamol will nuke my liver. 1000 liters of water will most likely kill me. Getting 1000 cuts with a knife, well, I believe we have a saying for that. 1000 x-rays of course mean a greater risk, but that's it. GREATER RISK, not definitive damage. What kind of examination you're doing also has a huge impact. A conventional lung x-ray with two projections doesn't compare to a 4-phase urography CT. And for the record, I know he probably didn't mean that one x-ray examination = cancer, but intent is irrelevent here. The way he said it made it come across as such and that is why I brought it up. Every week I must explain this to atleast one person who thinks going to the radiology department constitutes a tangible risk to themselves. If I and my colleagues allow this misinformation to persist, they will spread it to their friends and coworkers. One of those people might take it at face value and continue the spread. Fewer people will go get x-rays at risk of their health and will create a greater burden on the healthcare system when they have terminal cancer that has metastasized in the lungs, liver, colon and esophagus. If only they hadn't been too scared by the misinformation and done that CT-scan of their lungs 10 years ago when they had a very persistant case of pneumonia, a CT that would catch the top bit of the right kidney that had an anomolous change that would've turned out to be a very treatable tumour. PS Drop the sass at the end. It adds nothing to the conversation and nobody finds it charming.

It's entirely wage theft. I guarantee those withheld tips would have found their way into the boss's pocket

Great concise and important clarification 👍

The amount of xrays you'd have to get to be in danger of radiation poisoning is like 300 chest xrays, no? Genuinely curious based on my somewhat limited knowledge of radiation

@Maabuss indeed. don't get radiography confused with radiotherapy. One uses mostly harmless rays to take an image (x-ray) where the other uses harmful radiation to kill cancer and if done improperly can seriously hurt the patient.

@@JPOC226 I wouldn’t call the radiation we use for X-rays “harmless”, but yes they are a much much lower dose. Certainly not “dangerous” as rslash calls it anyway. A chest X-ray is around 0.14-0.22mSv which is comparable spending two days out in nature.

Chest X-ray is also comparable in effective radiation dose to a 4 hour airplane flight.

I agree, there is one particular restaurant here where I will never go back, because the owner was rude af when I complained about my food being cold and it took like 90mins, it was just insane. But in this story it is a case of bad management and they should be punished, not the waitresses.

Coming back to edit?

The second story is Kelly being a dumb cnt and borderline breaking anti discrimination laws...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023

For the fourth story, they salesman was trying to upsell and steal the commission of the saleslady. It just so happened that it wasn't successful and he screwed both of them over.

Just because it's illegal doesn't stop it from happening.

Yet wage theft is still the biggest form of theft x-x

@@carrollkuemper then sue

@@carrollkuemper illegal things mean that if they happen you can get justice. people do illegal things all the time and we can't stop it from happening, but we can get justice for it, if we report it.

Yes they can. They can't take them directly from you but they can pay you less so that tips essentially don't give any money. Being paid $2.10 plus a $5.10 tip is the same as being paid $7.25.

By definition, ultrasound is NOT radiology. Radiology is the study and/or use of high energy radiation. Ultrasound is not that.

@@wingracer1614 you are correct but because they are still performed by the radiology department, I didn't want people thinking that everything done by radiology (the department) is going to harm people (like radiation).

@@babelbrain Fair enough but anyone dumb enough to think ultrasound is going to kill them is probably also an ati-vaxxer and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a hospital.

Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s like 1 in every million gets cancer.

What?, rSlash talking about something he has no idea about, I'm shocked.........not He just hears radiation and immediately assumes really bad. He's a good narrator, he's just not too bright.

X-Rays can still do a bit of damage, even if not significant one. But the problem is that with the shoddy work Smith did, that meant the patient very likely had to unnecessarily get another round of X-Rays

@@someguythatblinks he didn't even say radiation, he referred to it as "any amount of radiology "

@@BeanManolo one x ray session amounts to the same amount of radiation as we usually get just living for 10 days, x rays wouldn't be done if they required you to intake a significant amount of radiation

IAM 50/50 .. I had someone take my cheese order and pulled out another..ooooh a taste? Nope she wanted to know how much I wanted without tasting it! Flustered I bought some..OMG wookie cave aged cheddar! Yum!! Same as certain 'erb stores..IAM ok being asked if I want accessories. Insurance is good for Some things.. I.e. my earpods.$10 a pair with $3 insurance means I can replace them 3 times!

I think if they ask it’s fine but pushing it is the problem. We all need to make money so I get it just don’t be rude about it.

Unfortunately things aren't always that straight forward especially the go to HR to report HR.

happy new years!!

One thing to note is that this person's actions can be harmful, just not how rslash thinks. Best case scenario, a bad scan wastes the patient's time and delays their care. Worst case scenario it could lead to a misdiagnosis. This is less likely however, since radiologists are usually very discerning when it comes to the quality of images they'll actually attempt to read.

Well not quite, the risk may be minimal for a limited number of x rays - Particularly with the new electronic plates. But the potential DNA damage occurs every x ray.

Stop.

But I was here first! Imposter! Sus!!

First

Second

It’s like being given the opportunity to plant your flag on an undiscovered land.

I would compare it to alcohol. Yes alcohol is dangerous in high doses but if you would drink one beer a year it wouldnt make any difference to your body the same thing goes with x-rays. So showing xrays as something super dangerous is just fearmongering.

Exactly. In my experience, when I have gotten X-rays, they give you a lead cover to protect the rest of your body from the X-ray.

Like most things the dosage is the poison.

I am so disappointed in how that phrase was twisted and abused. The original saying is "The customer is always right in matters of taste" which was meant to say that if the customer wants to buy something rather than what you suggest, DON'T PRESSURE THEM. Let them buy the ugly hat. Let them buy the cheaper version. Let them decide on what they want or need, and help them get that thing. And that version is absolutely correct. Working in a small local business, and being given the freedom to actually engage with customers like people and trying to get to know what exactly they want and being there to help them find it, it's rewarding. I never try to upsell my patrons or convince them to get the more expensive items. I just want to help them get the things that they want.

Also she said withhold tips, not take them, which is also legal in most States. You can't directly take someone's tips but you can lower their wage by $5/hour until the tips don't gain a net profit.

@@RRW359 That kind of thing 'should' be illegal. At that point there's no reason to work that job as they're no longer paying you enough to live.

@@MizuMing In my State it's actually illegal but I know 43 of them still allow it, although the amount they can withhold varies. I believe some States allow it and regulate it somewhat but federally they are allowed to pay $2.15/hour instead of $7.25 if the rest is compensated for by tips.

@@RRW359 I've seen this before yes, other videos on RU-vid here have made mention of this and it seems super super illegal! A place of business should not force its staff to rely so heavily on tips to survive, they should pay their staff well. If you pay people next to nothing then you're going to get crappy service and people aren't going to want to go to your business because of it. There's a reason why people over in Europe don't tip, their workers get paid enough to actually live on, but in the United States in some states it's the exact opposite and I don't understand why. Are they so greedy that they can't bother to float a couple extra dollars in the direction of their staff so that the quality of their work remains high, so their profit margins in the end also remain high?

@@MizuMing I don't understand it either, I think it's mostly lobbyists wanting restaurants to make as much profit as possible. Also everything I've mentioned up to this point is legal but if it isn't bad enough it makes it even easier to do illegal stuff. Since at-will firing is normal in the US it isn't uncommon and tips mean employers can pay employees less, I've heard employers often basing people's employment on making the most tips so employers can pay them less. And if their job depends on if they get tips they may lie saying they got them when they haven't, allowing the employer to pay them under minimum wage (which isn't easy to live off anyways) without them even earning it back by tips.

@rSlash_YT Damn it, spammer. You know you were only conceived because your mother has poor dental hygiene and gives overly toothy head, right?
