I’m sure this will fall on deaf ears, but saying it felt pretty damn good.
Background: I work in IT for a healthcare org. Clawed my way out of the hell scape of revenue cycle (where the lowest paid and least valued employees work) to get here.
Them:
Please provide one suggestion for how to make [company] a better place to work.
Me:
Hourly employees are treated as
if they're replaceable; if they
don't want to take mistreatment
and below industry standard pay/
benefits, they can leave (and the
good ones always do). It's clear
[company] doesn't care about the
earners at the bottom. Change
this.
Also, imagine running a
healthcare org and completely
gutting your staff's healthcare
coverage over the years. Then,
pretend like you're giving them some kind of gift by waving
copays/coinsurance/deductibles
at [company] facilities during a deadly
pandemic as a cash grab so you can pay yourself for our services. Gaslighting is
emotional abuse.
Finally, stop having managers tell
staff that they should be grateful that [company] gave us a job. This is also gaslighting. [Company] should be grateful to have us as caregivers. Without us, the C suite couldn't earn more in one pay period than a lot of caregivers do in an entire year.
