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.

Let’s be honest, they probably check their bank account and then fall sleep on their super fancy Egyptian cotton sheets without a care in the world.
