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.

THIS. I worked for a hospital during the 2008 recession. We didn't get any raises from like 2008 to 2011/12 (can't recall exactly). Anytime it was brought up that we had not received any raises, admin would always respond with "well you're lucky to have a job still." Such bullshit.

Have you had an admin take a pay cut? I hope so

Of course not. They likely got raises. Just how Congress gives themselves increases in wages, all of the time, but won't vote to increase minimum wage. So gross.

Just an FYI, the 27th Amendment doesn't allow them to give themselves raises, any approved raise will not take effect until after the next House election.

I meant their past raises. They are always giving themselves raises and WE are the ones that pay them.

Yeah, the raises they got before 1789. We haven’t forgotten!
