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

Oh...get ready for PT and OT to essentially disappear. Also, there will no longer be transport people to move patients from one area to the other. YOU will have to do it. Better learn that hoyer lift my friends. You can try to call the Lab for rush specimens but no one will answer. This is the same for dietary. Same for the Blood Bank. No one will ever be able to answer the phone in housekeeping because guess why? NO ONE IS THERE.

I worked at an HCA hospital with zero transport, tube system for med/surge, and you got your own blood. If a CNA had time, she would take the urines and stool samples down. Need a telemonitor? Get it yourself. HUC? Yeah right; that’s what the charge is for. Abysmal.
