Antiwork

We are a unionized frontline care force that is going on strike starting on Monday. We are one of the the largest neurodiagnostic and prognostic care teams in the US. We staff your neuro ICUs, your cardiac ICUs, your pediatric and neonatal ICUs. We are there to figure out why the patient has altered mental status, is seizing, why they won’t wake up, or whether or not they are brain dead. We were there for every COVID patient that had a brain injury due to lack of oxygen/cardiac arrest. We are there 24/7/365 days a year. We have been told that our department is no longer profitable. That they can only afford a 0.75% annual raise increase despite our census nearly doubling since we negotiated three years ago.

Fuck that place. I plan on looking for another…

They ask if I live in the city I’m applying for, I say yes. They ask if I’m willing to do this or that, I always say yes. Then I get no reply. Sometimes it says they look at my application. But no reply. But I thought you were desperate. I thought you needed anything that walked to work for you. Guess not….p Now gas is 5.00 per gallon, and I have rent coming up. I said I needed a job. You said everyone was hiring, and no one wanted to work. I’m asking for work in return to pay my bills and gas. You don’t reach out. You don’t respond at all. It’s not…
