Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25672410 Where I work the CEO makes about $1 million a year, and yet I can't get a raise any higher than 15 cents. So now there is a move to bring in unions. The slavepital I worked at several years ago.. we first started out caring for 4-5 patients a night. I worked night shift. 12 hours. Then, the slavepital decided profit margin was not high enough. We had our night shift differential taken away and had to care for 8 patients to 9 a night; and cut an RN. The CEOs drove new cars that next year.... I quit and never went back to slavepital |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20566260 United States 12/13/2012 04:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This hospital is non profit, which means the ceos salaries are publicly posted. If i was an employee i would find those salries and exploit them. I have never seen anything so offensive in hospital industry before... Most do huge christmas dinners, give bonuses etc..... Really sad. The hospital may be hurting with all of the expenses trying to meet electronic deadlines that have to be met by 2014 and the upcoming icd 10 codeset conversions....but It is still no excuse though. I feel awful for the employees. Might i also add judging by their documentation, it doesnt look like the invest much in their corporate communications team either. |

We lost the revolution. This country is still a mindset of: those at the top (the kings and queens) who make a lot of $$$$ regardless if they really do anything but sit around all day in their glass houses and dress up nice WHile the "poor orphan Olivers" of the world (the working slaves) work their fingers to the bone and take up up the rear with a non lubricated stick all their lives until they die This country is filled with it in hollywood in commerce it is everywhere The slaves just blindly accept those kings and queens who can be: Ceos, presidents, actors, you name it.... |

They have food drives/school supply drives/angel trees etc..but when I was single with 2 kids and worked for them I never got any help..I had no extra to donate, my kids did not get clothes for school. They used the left over supplies they had from the previous yr for school. So I personally see this as a good idea. YEA they should pay a living wage but since they arent I guess this will help. |
