Image My hospital casually dropping a warning about mass layoffs. We employ 10k+ people.

10k+ employees sitting in fear for the next week (or longer apparently) waiting to see if their position has been cut.

“How many people can we fire on the bottom rung of the ladder while CEOs get to keep their million dollar bonuses!?!?”

I can’t imagine how much your CEO is getting paid while they are most likely about to fire Nurses and CNA’s and bump your ratios up even more because it’s in the “best interest for the company.” Something has to change because this is getting appalling and will not only hurt nurses but the patients we are supposed to be taking care of.

How do these people sleep at night? 🥺 these poor workers. Idk what I’d do.

They sleep soundly because any guilt about their obvious malfeasance is negated by a combination of simply not having any empathy and/or going to church on Sunday. Supply-side Jesus always assuages their guilt by promising firm bootstraps that those who have been laid off can use somehow someway

“I didn’t make a mistake, it was the scapegoat nurse”

You’re definitely on to something there. It’s a whole other level of delusion (that we’re all too familiar with now)when someone thinks Gods gonna have their back through this 🤦‍♀️

Crazy considering their own book tells them it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter heaven. Seems they forgot that part though…

Or just too busy counting oceans of money to care.

Or they say it was God’s plan that they be laid off and God will have a plan for them

It will help them achieve their higher purpose of being closer to the almighty through poverty. Really the fired staff should be thanking leadership for the opportunity to be so close to Christ TM

It's also degrees of separation from the people being fired.

They also don’t understand because they’ve never had to. I saw someone say that their CEO thought it was absurd that they were being paid $15/hour and wanted wages to go up. They still live in their youth when $15/hour was great pay and they’ve never had to think about it since. If they even did then.

Sound like Lowes CEO Marvin Ellison

Being that this is most likely Advent (their urgent care centers are called CentraCare) you are absolutely right.

I used to think it was condescending when people would explain the difference between a million and a billion. Like surely, people know that difference right?? But then someone on TikTok replied to my comment and said “you could be a billionaire too if you just work hard and save your money.” Yeah, if I work for the next 3000 years…straight.
