I'd have told them to retain all communications and documents related to this matter, my contract, the firms contracts, and any other info because I'm retaining a lawyer who will be in contact. At a minimum, I'd be suing their as--ses for slander when they told the other company I was holding them hostage. At a minimum.

That is amazing.

There's no exception for legal action? Not doubting, just surprised. I figured it would be one of those "greater good" carve outs.

You mean like discipline? Nope, because I don't even have to answer the phone if they call.

1. More money.
2. Better benefits.
3. See 1.
4. Stop patronizing them with business bullsh-t everyone except MBAs can see through
5. See 3.

Money and benefits are pretty low hanging fruit, but despite what the derps keep saying, hospital systems have been pounded financially by Covid and the money simply isn't there.

Then get used to low retention.

You can fool yourselves, but you can't fool your employees.

Fire some middle level management, or better still cut the CEO's compensation by 90%.

Certainly agree and I know administrators are having significant issues with this and trying their best to help. I can tell you what frustrates most of us clinicians is the conversation often goes like this. (Don't take this the wrong way, I know we are all on the same team and drowning)

Clinicians: We are burning out
Admin: What can we do to help?
Clinicians: We need more people in support roles, less administrative tasks, fewer patients
Admin: We cannot do any of these. Do you want head a project looking into solutions for burnout?
Clinicians: So you want us to take on more administrative responsibilities?
Admin: Yes
Clinicians: ...........
Admin: Have you tried yoga?

Every time I hire someone from a hospital system their salary is way, way higher than anyone who works in payer/insurance. Maybe I’m just seeing a really skewed piece of data but it’s been really consistent the last few years to the point we all joke we should have worked in a health system

I'm middle management! I can't speak for everyone, but our problem is that I'm responsible for too much.

Yeah, as an EHR person I feel bad any time CMS or someone else requires more documentation. It means I need to build the tools, and then I get the fun job of explaining to overworked clinical staff "hey it's just a few extra clicks"...


And yes, I've tried yoga.

I have found this to be the opposite. I know a bunch of case managers, for example, that jumped from clinical to payer and got enormous salary bumps.

Today is my first day back at work since December 16th. I....don't know where to start.

I've forgotten how to work

One advantage of no PTO. I had just a 4-day weekend with the snow day.

1200 emails in your in box say hi.

I worked 9 pm - 5 am one summer. Here's my advice:

1) Force yourself to sleep exactly the same time period during the day. Your body is going to want to wander around. Don't listen to it. After about 4 weeks you acclimate.

2) Don't nap, that will mess you up worse than a drinking binge.

3) Interact with people at work as much as you can; the alienation of the overnight shift is isolation and introversion.

4) Be 20.

I am not 20.

[MissThundercat]

Found out Shift Lead Everyone Hates is also not cleaning things like blood and poo off the floor, leaving that for everyone else to clean up.
