Rotech Healthcare Inc. Layoffs

In response to the "Butch" comment. This is an IMPOSTER. A bitter SR who was fired for their lack of doing their job. PRETENDING to be the LCM on Yahoo Finance & Cafepharma multiple times. Being childish as ever in their post here too. Get out of the sandbox for once in your life and GROW UP

I am so sick of hearing these people whine. I am an LCM for a small town location and have enough crap in dealing with people around here who dislike lesbians. We Butch's know how to straighten shit out when it hits the fan.......and we DON'T take any shit from males. Just my 2 cents worth.

Still nothing?

Over worked, understaffed, low pay, cutting all the senior staff. Stock falling again. Closing locations. Closed all DVP's offices. Middle management is usless . Looks like the end is near.

What is ROTECH WAY - work for 10+ years and we'll let you go. Thanks. Bye...

After years of training, learning the "Rotech Way", they just cut us loose with no warning. I did all the ordering, paperwork, data input, and had to learn sales and RT techniques because we had to complete all the CPAP setups in our office with an RT 50 miles away. I even had to use my own vehicle and sit up at night in the emergency room with patients while on call. Even though I had a great relationship with the Doctors and staff of clinics in several communities...and an even better relationship with our customers, I am expendable? We see managers ansd sales people come and go while looking for better jobs, but the poor worker bees get low pay and no respect.

another round of layoffs is in progress. nothing has been announced, but we all see folks go. shame.

Any news on possible downsizing in California?

i was a per-diem respiratory technician at rotech and i enjoyed working there - work was flexible and pay was ok (i am not saying \'great\') - i\'d have hard time to believe these rumors that the company is in trouble. i left on my own as i decided to relocate to a region where rotech has no presence.

Yep, here we go again - another round has started. It\'s sad that we claim that we are a group of \"compassionate hometown healthcare companies\" when we treat our employees in such a way.

Hey, did you guys hire any \"Air Products\" folks as they dissolved in the US? I know that Walgreen took some folks and I am just courious to see if some went to Rotech as parts of Air Products\' US ops were goobled up by Rotech.

Rotech has a LOT of vent patients in some area's!!! They will take anything a Dr wants them to take in fear of loosing the referal.. Whatever the crazy sales rep whines for they will get regardless of the liability!!!!! Heck I saw them take a vent patient once without seeing the patient, without evaluating the home for safety or meeting the patients family to see if they could learn to care for it. OF course this was after 4 other companies refused the patient... LOL These patients are more or less on their own now. Thanks to the good education they got from those laid off RT's they are able to manage. Most of the locations can't get the monthly supplies in order for delivery without the RT. Our vent patients are calling in continuously for things not delivered. AND they try to hide the fact of not having an RT on staff from the referral sources. I don't know about the rest of you but I sure do miss our RT, I knew I could always count on that person to answer clinical questions, and basically the RT would decide what the best plan for the patient was in the home. Our Dr's appreciated the clinical input and it helped our business greatly. Now we just "wing it", not sure thats the best thing for the patient. YEP, "IT'S THE BLOTECH WAY" "WE CARE ABOUT PATIENT CARE" where's my barf bag
