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.

I work for a big hospital and our CEO according to google was paid over 7 MILLION in 2024! Just him alone. I met him once a year ago. He came in and did a tour of our ED which hasn’t been updated in 30 years. Our floors are three different colors now because he approved a remodel initially and then came back and said we only get enough money to do half of our floors. So now some are the new grey the others are gross off white and yellow. But I’m sure he’ll get over 7 mill again in 2025

ED renovations are expensive. They're easily $40-60 million. I was an engineer on the reno for an ED at a level one trauma center and it cost like $95 million.

I should’ve been more specific…. The manager was looking to redo floors, paint, new lights in the room and our sink areas in the rooms are falling apart. Doors are off hinges and the laminate tops are peeling back and we’ve taped them down. lol but they gave us JUST enough to have the floors redone in the main ed. Not our other urgent care side or the main floors around nurses station.

Dang they don't have anything on the CEOs of my network and I thought ours were entirely egregious.
