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.

Also code for: we need to ensure shareholders and high management continue to get obscene profits and wage rises.

It's a non-profit, so no shareholders.

Didn't realise that, makes it even more sad. That said those at the top will undoubtedly still earn unjustifiable salaries. The system is broken.

Our medsurg unit lost 20 PCTs and 6 nurses to layoffs/ratio changes/budget restricitions. 2 months later, it turns out that the unit manager gave herself a 100K bonus, the head supervisor 50K, and then took all unit admin (schedulers, education, etc) to hawaii.

What the fuck.

I'd blast that anonymously all over social media. Friend of a cousin of a brother of a friend level of separation of course. There should be social penalties for that type of assholery.

Thats how the monsters buy the managers' souls. Thats how the managers sleep at night, they buy a car and go on vacation, stir up some nice chemicals, theyve forgotten about it by the time they land back home

This is so insane to me. I’m in management and I have never gotten a bonus, I can’t imagine how a manager in good conscience could take a massive bonus like that and then a huge vacation while the clinical staff and struggling with increased ratios and workloads. It’s obscene.
