Tue, 11 Sep 2007 23:19:00 GMT http://greasy.com/cpapbipapdressups/response_barbara47.html Their deal is this: When someone gets hurt with the government, they go on pay retention, which means I get the same pay that I made (in this case) as an X-ray tech. So, if they just have me answer phones, I still get paid as a tech. That''s ok in itself except they don''t want to pay all that money to someone who can''t do much more than answer a phone. I was hurt permanently and they want me to retire with a disability because it would save them money. It''s all about money and I won''t ...
