So I work for one of the largest healthcare organizations in Central Ohio. We found out today that retention bonuses upwards of $10,000 was paid to select nursing, pulmonary, and imaging staff in the free standing facilities, but not to the staff who are working in the hospitals, COVID units, hospital ERs, etc. I'm a member of imaging for a hospital that's a part of the same organization. We were told today that those bonuses were only for the freestanding ER facilities and since they're a team they all get it. HELLO! Aren't we ALL a team? Don't we ALL work together towards the same common goal? The health of our patients? Not to mention that many feel the hospital staff were the ones who were dealt more crap through the pandemic. Put up with more trauma and BS. People are pissed. I can't wrap my head around it. Sorry for the vent, but I've got two years of trauma and now psych issues because of this crap.
Edit: No, the bonus hasn't caused my psych issues, the past 2 years of being a part of a team helping to treat covid patients has. PTSD related to it is quite real.
