I was told yesterday that I have to do a training program,which needs to be done by the middle of this month. I also have to do CEU,s for my RN license, make 10 contacts every day and welcome 6 or 7 new mbrs a day. Not impossible if you work 10 or 12 hours a day. Those nurses that say they do 12 -13 Mbps a day Are not making quality calls. A 2 minute call is not long enough. Documenting takes longer than that.
HUMANA, if your going to let us go please do it now, avoid lawsuits!
I had a coach once that said she could not approve or deny me leaving a little early as I'm salaried. It's really just professional courtesy for me tell her I'm leaving. Who knows? HR would, I guess. But who had time to call them?
If you are salaried, it is not legal to make you take full PTO for just one hour. If it were legal, there would be a mechanism to enter just one hour of PTO in the system. It is against the federal law. Very serious
This is an unfortunate part of the health care industry now. I have been a nurse for two decades and have seen downsizing and the same treatment in other companies. Yes, upper management will give directives to make conditions nearly impossible to live with and force staff to leave so they don't have to pay unemployment. Another technique I have seen is "forced vacations" where staff with excessive PTO built up are forced to take time off, only to be laid off a few months later. This is a tactic companies do when they are looking to eliminate staff so when employees do separate, the company doesn't have to pay out everything you have already earned. For the last 5 years here I had no problems flexing time for doctors appointments. Now I am being told I need to take the full day off even if I will still only be working a 7 hr day. The other days I work much longer than 8 hrs and well make up for the one hr I would be missing. This is a new directive and I believe it is because I have a substantial amount of PTO banked up. I asked for the "eight hr" during that day to count as my hr of "wellbeing time" and was still told I need the full day off. Anyone else being told this? Oh and, no wellbeing time for me either. I frequently work through all 15 min breaks and lunch.
I was told the process is to make the job unbearable, so that people will quit on their own. Then, make job expectations so high that everyone (or most anyway) don't meet standards so you can fire them and fight unemployment, then finally do layoffs with severance. If they can force us out, then they don't have to pay to get us out.
I Agree!!!! But They are not going to lay us off, they are going to try and fire us first
