EMSL Analytical reviews

To meet the objectives above-mentioned sacrifices are made, often times this is done by lazing QA standards and being reactive to audits rather than proaxtive.

This advice is for all of the miserable employees: When your audits come around, save/ print all of your emails to give to the auditor when s/he asks if there are any problems. That means, if you've ever had to fix equipment you weren't qualified or comfortable fixing, if you know you were improperly trained to where it affects accuracy, if you've asked for additional workers because you're understaffed, if you frequently go over the recommended number of samples because you're overworked, etc... This is the ONLY way we will get things done- by involving the government when corporate gives us the runaround. Sing. Like. A. Canary. This will not only give us what we need, it will make work more bearable by putting all of the pressure back on corporate. Also, don't overwhelm yourself. Why crank out the work, if they're not willing to mirror that in your paycheck? Let your workload reflect your pay. In lay men's terms, get within the recommended range, but slow down :) Complaining to corporate obviously hasn't done much, so take the initiative by remembering that you have more influence than you believe.
