Healthcare workers are expected to help hospitals with their budget problems

snippet from letter posted in a break room Text from image, company information hidden to protect workers: “GROWTH AND FINANCE [Company] announced that budget season is almost over and are at the last stage in putting together. [Company] is 2 million over what is annualized for 2022. Even with the increase in revenue there will still be a gap between expenses and revenue. As an organization we must look at ways to close that gap. Agency usage and incentive pay are a huge part of that gap. Retention of employees is another area for managers to investigate for cost saving measures. As revenue grows try to keep expenditures flat.” Notes like this are becoming commonplace, I’ve seen it in two different places I’ve worked now. This was displayed in a break room. Corporate expects healthcare workers to give “suggestions” to fix their budget problems and are pressuring lower management to…

Same company, same positions, same cover letter? Please?

A place I want to work at is hiring for the same position (Adult page) 3 times but each one is a different location except for one which is the same location but it's a 6-month contract instead of permanent so still basically the same. Every website I look at says you need to tailor your cover letter to each different position at the same company but how do you do that if they are all the same position? I'm wondering if that's bullshit. Probably going to merge all 3 jobs into the same cover letter or just do the same cover letter for each one. The only thing I can think of that I could say is that one of the locations is really close to me lmao.

Being called out in front of everyone for being a second late

I admit that my track record with being late isn’t great. So I made huge improvements and I was clocking in 20 mins to often half an hour early some days. Yesterday morning I was early and had clocked in and had a cup of tea with everyone in the canteen. My colleague & I left the canteen and he zoomed ahead and I quickly put my bag and lunch box in my locker. I literally was a few steps away from the daily meeting but the manager had already started. ‘Good morning everyone’ he bellowed. I thought shit and hurried my pace up but I couldn’t help but smile.. when I’m nervous I react in the worst way possible and either smile or laugh. I hate it. Right from when I was a child my dad would always tell me off for crying. I was never allowed to show…

Workers Pay

Just wanted to make sure everyone saw the same thing I did when Joe said workers should be paid what they are worth? No republicans seemed to agree. They are in the corporations pockets (just to be clear, not all democrats are innocent either). Paid to pass legislation that benefits the corporations. We have to stop big businesses from buying our government and passing legislation that hurts regular working people that make billions in profits off of our backs. Stand up for our workers.
