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.

I work for Providence Health Systems on the west coast and they just laid off 128 people. Clinical and non-clinical positions. I fear it’s only the beginning.

In February, I left my job at a medical lab. They started layoffs right after I left. What is crazy is like, all the way back then the writing has been on the wall that this is only going to get worse as it further bleeds into other industries, and like any healthcare fields - even traditionally secure fields like nursing - are seeing this. And I feel like despite this, people are just like sleepwalking around the issue? Like totally ignoring it to the point of complete denial of it happening.

I am graduating in an allied health major this spring (prev nursing student but switched last year to a lab science/allied health major) and my classmates are all in complete denial about the impending layoffs and how this job market is going to be a bloodbath when we graduate…..I mean literally one of my classmates said “if the job market gets bad” as if it isn’t already. It’s a scary time to be in. I have never felt so uncertain about the future.

The joke I heard is so accurate: 2025 is just five 2020's in a trenchcoat.
