@@jazzyj6640 exactly. The CEOs and administration of hospitals get paid as much as the other corporate executives. The employees who are making the hospital operation possible get paid little. It is not because the hospitals pay employees well.
Always cut the staff that performs the actual work/ care. So doing the same amount of work if not more with less staff. Management says healthcare of patients won’t be affected ?? Advance learning modules on the computer will probably be implemented creating a new acronym so remaining staff can memorize !! Expanding their efficiency opening their minds . While the CEO will push a cookie cart through the hospital demonstrating heart felt solidarity with the staff in these tough times. Of course management salary or jobs won’t be cut. Question ? Would you rather have a health care staff of 1 nurse to 4 patients or a staff of 1 nurse to 8 patients taking care of your child ???? Any heath care facility nursing home, children’s hospital , anything. Ask - WHAT IS YOUR PATIENT CARE RATIO ? So given 1 to 4 or 1 to 8 choose the 1 to 4. You’re receiving better care. It’s common sense also showing how seriously the healthcare organization is to actually taking care of your actual performed healthcare. Always remember its cheaper to have good marketing ………we have the best of the best healthcare but in reality have the worst of the worst PATIENT CARE RATIO. Least amount of caregivers that administers the care that they can get away with will ensure the greatest revenue for the healthcare business. Basically do the most with the least maximizing profit business model. Of course not all are bad . Be informed ❤️

Explain me this, when the last time I tried to schedule appointment for my youngest one in Texas Children Hospital, they told me the next available date is after almost 2 month. Now, they’re laying off thousands of employees and saying this will not impact patient care?
Explain to me why you wait 2 months yet I walk in same-day but you tell us we have the wait times?!?!? lol....two months? Really??? We don't wait at all except for inside the clinic or hospital.
I'm an RN, I used to work Pediatric care (ER, Burn, Hospice) and I was difficult to get a job in a hospital working with adults. Working in speciality areas can limit your ability to move laterally or higher. I loved working with children and their parents but career wise it limits work options.
I'm a pediatric nurse as well, Peds ER, and now OB. You're right it's def less unless you do PICU or NICU. It's harder to find travel assignments, not sure if these layoffs included Healthcare workers

If similar to other declines in health industry funding, it is likely because money due to COVID relief has expired. Many people treated that money like it was regular funding that would last forever instead of spending it on only COVID related costs.
The media needs to post the pay of the hospital CEO's in Texas nonprofit hospitals. It's getting ridiculous. One CEO will make more than the entire nursing staff of the ICU with 1/10th of our intelligence or skill. I can bring children back from the dead, but you fail at your job, put us financial ruin, and you get more money and we get....
@thehonesttruth8808 You have never been at a code then. We are lucky that a doctor shows up. Mostly seasoned nurses, respiratory techs, and a few residents working off an established ACLS algorithm. The attending will treat the patient after the staff get them back in the ICU.
Patient volume fluctuates. I used to work at another big hospital in Houston, and when patient volume got below a certain level, they would cut back on employee hours to offset the decline in revenue.
Exactly. Be glad, they could have let you go with nothing. Sounds like the contracts) were over….perhaps reading the fine print, and asking pertinent questions questions ate very applicable in this day and age.🤷🏽
If only the two of you knew about the law when you have over 500 employees and you’re doing a mass layoff, they have to give you a severance package so they’re not doing them any favors. It’s the law.
Being a medical transcriptionist my entire life, starting on a regular typewriter to a MAG-card IBM electric typewriter, to a WANG computer typewriter, to TWS computer, to dictaphone, to finally PowerScribe, job outsourcing going on -- sending dictations out to INDIA for transcription, cutting back more and more transcriptionists, not needed, because finally PowerScribe -- AI was replacing transcribers left and right, and only because I had been transcribing now for 40 years, kept my job until I finally retired 2 years ago. My thought, if they can replace a medical transcriber, look out world, AI can replace more and more and more, seeing musicians being replaced, TV actors being replaced, News Anchors being replaced, why pay millions of dollar contracts when AI can do it.. that is what is going on now.
I bet no one in upper management or other "paper" pushing rolls are out a job. Do a deep dive into the salaries of the top 50 folks and you will see why the hospital is "broke". The number of people who have zero patient contact grows yearly. This is nation wide, if a hospital gets federal money they should be held accountable. It amazes me the number of people getting paid 40 hours a week that have zero impact in patient outcome.
This tells me the recession is creeping into depression status slowly, we just don't have the full experience just yet since you can technically speaking still pay for most things barely. We're right there though.
Layoff one or more upper level management or a few CEO's and surprise extra revenue frees up to continue employment for these ESSENTIAL medical workers...but even the medical business is about high salarys,outrageous bonuses,luxury vacations and golden parachutes for the upper echelon and the menial support staff takes the hit.
No shortage of patients, ever increasing costs to the consumer, but somehow they need to lay off 5% of their workforce. And just like with everything else in the medical field, they'll blame long waits for appt's, ER etc. on there being a shortage of licensed nurses and other healthcare professionals. Leading people to believe there's a shortage of people in the field, when in fact, it's their cutbacks due to Corp. greed, not a shortage of qualified individuals.
Higher ups should have taken pay cuts for themselves instead of laying off people or shuffled people around from areas or shifts to fill in the areas that needed help before laying off. At least the people could have had an option to stay or leave.

How is it possible that TX Children’s Hospital is in financial trouble? It’s a major hospital and it’s almost impossible to lose money in the industry. It’s an extremely profitable industry. Make it make sense.
Insurance Reimbursement is not what it used to be for preventative care, nor for major care. Reimbursements are now considered Usual & Customary: fees commensurate with fees from 50 years ago most time. With today’s cost of operating, Regulation costs, salaries, there is often times a LOSS when the overhead expenses are met.
I bet TX has given millions in free healthcare to illegals, how do I know the system I work at has. It pisses me off to no end , if we're given free healthcare it should be for poor AMERICANS.

I heard that 1500 people were laid off. The remaining nurses must cover each other in the different specialty departments. The remaining nurses had to take a pay cut but the CEO made over 8 million dollars last year
In another article, a woman moved from California with her family to take a job there. After she spent twenty thousand to do this, then did her physical in the morning, they told the nurse in the afternoon that they had a hiring freeze. Rescinded job offer. Where were all those administrators then? They get paid to do a bad job?
Did the executives take a salary reduction before they laid staff off? That’s what we did at my former healthcare employer. We reduced the salary of every leader. That way we laid off fewer essential employees
Healthcare is for profit duuuuh. You gotta get rid of the loyal employees who have gotten raises and bring in new, untrained, employees who get paid less so the “admin” can feed on their bones.
Workers need to get use to being laid off. This is Corporate America and that’s the way they operate. Move on with your life. Always have enough money set aside for it. Always have a plan B. Change your career if need be. Move to another place if you must. Don’t be a victim. It only hurts the first time it happens. It’s not moral or right but it’s been this way since the 1970s.
Gee, thanks for the lecture. Not all of us have had the ability the last several years to build a nest egg/emergency fund due to Bidenomics. But I'm glad to hear you're set with your plan.
If they are going to financially take care of the unemployed employees till October I don’t see the problem. Lots of companies lay off people several times a year and do not even give a recommendation letter nor pay them for an extra 2 months.
Once again, try harder learn more any corporation or entity with over 500 employees doing a mass layoff they are required by law to give them a severance package karma is all I have to say to you
Moved out to the Hill Country 9 years ago, don't miss the city and carpentry work is easier than roofing in Houston, of course I get laid off regularly, just finish one project and start another
What you talking about there are jobs here. You just got to pick the right one with job security. Private Hospitals always layoff ppl. If you want to be set work in county, they will never lay off ppl. Like Ben Taub will never close or lay off, they're the Citys Hospital.
1:42 A job contract has never benefited the employee. It only benefits the employer. I feel sorry for this lady. She moved her entire life for this job and in a year, she gets laid off. The bad thing about this for-profit healthcare system is if no one gets sick or hurt then these hospitals do not make any money. These greedy hospital CEOs would run a school bus full of hemophiliacs off the road just to generate some business.
People need to understand and have a plan B, especially when working for someone. Dont become complacent and think that your job will need you. Sad and scary lesson people have to go through.
That's not the problem, bubbie---those are the people doing a lot of the work. It's the big corportations & non-profits (catholic church in my area) laying off workers so the admin (pope?) can have big salaries, fancy cars, mansions---admins are the ones making the decisions about their own salaries---how screwed up is that?
That's a huge problem actually. Our federal and state budgets can't sustain the huge giveaways our politicians are giving to illegals. And have you noticed how long it is now before you can get an appointment? That's what happens with 15 million new people in the country.

Sad!! This should be a wake up call to those of you who have NOT lost your job. You should have at LEAST 6 months living expenses in savings!! Too many people live paycheck to paycheck. The bills don’t stop just because you got laid off. Forget starbucks and put the $10 in savings!!!
You need a minimum of a year - 16 months savings. Many people have been out of work for well over a year now and more layoffs occur every day in various sectors.
People can’t save up when inflation is going up and wages are stagnating. Many of those people aren’t spending frivolously in this economy. They’re trying to stay housed and fed
AMEN. I agree !!! COVID scared me. I really think you should have 12-24 months of savings. Put it in a CD and add to it every year. I treat myself to nails once a month and Dunkin Donuts coffee payday Friday
Kinda true but not as rare as you think. Just 5 or so years ago there was another mass layoff at MD Anderson Cancer Center here in Houston where they laid off over 1,000 people. It was a very big deal since that's a lot of people at a top tier institution. Just in January Harris County Hospitals ( our county funded hospital system) laid off over 100 people which is a smaller number but still significant. It's been quietly happening for a while and ultimately I think it will cause a lowering of wages because workers will be more desperate and those who keep their jobs will be more willing to stay for lower pay.

As of 2022 the Senior Vice President's salary at Texas Children's Hospital was
$ 920, 577 that is insane for a non profit . Well above their leading Physician in Chief.
That’s disgusting
Replaced. Not laid off. End the foreign staffing firms operating in the US.
What?!
Exactly mr toykyo..get out of the country...see how that works.
@@JamilaJibril-e8h many hospitals are bringing in nurses from the Philippines, Haiti, etc and paying them less. If they can’t exploit the American workers they will definitely do it to the foreign ones.

Blame the state.
Probably cut reimbursement for patient care.
Corps dont GAF if you move your life to work for them. They will erase and replace you without a 2nd thought.
I bet no one in HR was let go.
No! NO! Don't fire the fat ugly old cat ladies who work in HR! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
They prolly make $250,000 a year to hire the worst people possible to ‘take care’ of the vulnerable children.
I worked as an HR assistant for years and had to lay off 100’s of people during a downsizing and after I did the dirty work they laid me off too. 🙃

Good ol HR, the most useless department in any company
Lay-offs are happening everywhere right now. No industry is immune.
I bet the CEO, stock holders, and investers didn't lose any money. I worked in healthcare for 30 years before I threw in the towel and changed careers.
THIS IS HEALTHCARE TODAY...it's not about patient care and employee loyalty...those days are gone. The "contract" should be void should an employee be laid off...I would look for work and ignore their "contract"...
Purpose driven has been replaced by Profit driven.
IANAL, but wouldn't the contract be void since the person no longer works there, and most states have eliminated non-compete clauses as being illegal
The federal government has the ability to correct this if we vote blue. Big corporations are terrified of our vote, because we can vote to protect patients, and employees. 💙💙💙💙💙Vote blue in November, our votes count. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

When Doctors were administrators hospitals were health beacons with the patient's care top and center. Then they were replaced with MBA's (highly paid bean counters) and patient care took a dump in favor of government funding and higher profits each and every quarter.
Then all the executives went to there nice plush homes, had a steak dinner and slept like it never happened.
👍👍
Ok ok but yall are forgetting the most important part. The board members will all get giant bonuses. Surely we can all sacrifice for the rich? Dont be selfish.
returdicans love that even poor returdicans
LOL!
Gen Z has it right. Do only what you have to do to survive and enjoy yourself as much as you can. If enough people did this about all of the unjust practices there would be a huge shift.
Explain me this, when the last time I tried to schedule appointment for my youngest one in Texas Children Hospital, they told me the next available date is after almost 2 month. Now, they’re laying off thousands of employees and saying this will not impact patient care?
Explain to me why you wait 2 months yet I walk in same-day but you tell us we have the wait times?!?!? lol....two months? Really??? We don't wait at all except for inside the clinic or hospital.
Apparently that is true---it was crappy to begin with!
16 million illegals will increase the wait times a little.
I'm an RN, I used to work Pediatric care (ER, Burn, Hospice) and I was difficult to get a job in a hospital working with adults. Working in speciality areas can limit your ability to move laterally or higher. I loved working with children and their parents but career wise it limits work options.
I'm a pediatric nurse as well, Peds ER, and now OB. You're right it's def less unless you do PICU or NICU. It's harder to find travel assignments, not sure if these layoffs included Healthcare workers
So you can’t move up .Why are you in the healthcare industry?
well how much do you think the CEO and other higher leaders make, like millions of dollars a year? welll there is your answer

Bingo.
@@danielax2350 you are correct. The CEOs and management get paid as much as big corporate executives.
Then what should they be making?
Typical corporation. Pays executive's ridiculous amounts of money while laying off nurses
So the hospital decided to cut its workers as a opposed to lowering the CEO’s salary. That would have been smarter and more efficient.
People are choosing to have less children 👉the need isn’t there
@@kimlarso Thats cleaver! However, children's needs are critical!
Corporations greed. Workers don’t matter, their money does.
This is Bidenomics bro, Democrat policy did this.
You can thank the WH for not paying their bills! That’s where the blame needs to go!
It because of a lawsuit. They were getting sued in 2022. I use to work there. The lawsuit was millions.
Well yeah😂😂😂
If similar to other declines in health industry funding, it is likely because money due to COVID relief has expired. Many people treated that money like it was regular funding that would last forever instead of spending it on only COVID related costs.
You talking about regular people or businesses......
@@dark12ain I'm talking primarily about political leaders
Schools did the same thing and now they're all crying about it.
The media needs to post the pay of the hospital CEO's in Texas nonprofit hospitals. It's getting ridiculous. One CEO will make more than the entire nursing staff of the ICU with 1/10th of our intelligence or skill. I can bring children back from the dead, but you fail at your job, put us financial ruin, and you get more money and we get....
Stop self-grandizing…doctors do the complex stuff just hoping nurses and ancillary staff properly follow their orders
@thehonesttruth8808 You have never been at a code then. We are lucky that a doctor shows up. Mostly seasoned nurses, respiratory techs, and a few residents working off an established ACLS algorithm. The attending will treat the patient after the staff get them back in the ICU.
"Lower patient volume"? Is Texas running out of sick children?
yes, that is correct, all the patients are dissapearing and most hospitals have been empty after the pandemicc
cus some people don’t get treated- watch the story about the guy who died from vibrio
Running out of insured children.
Patient volume fluctuates. I used to work at another big hospital in Houston, and when patient volume got below a certain level, they would cut back on employee hours to offset the decline in revenue.
it's because they don't accept alot of insurances people can't afford them high cost smh
They are going to financially support you until Oct 5th. That’s something to be thankful for
Exactly. Be glad, they could have let you go with nothing. Sounds like the contracts) were over….perhaps reading the fine print, and asking pertinent questions questions ate very applicable in this day and age.🤷🏽
If only the two of you knew about the law when you have over 500 employees and you’re doing a mass layoff, they have to give you a severance package so they’re not doing them any favors. It’s the law.
@@jeanieologist4456 negative, NOV nor Shell do such thing. They give you your last paycheck and it’s time to go

no they all were paid over $125,000 or more
Isn't that ALWAYS the case...? Because it actually is always the case, for real.
Illegals going to hospitals and not paying.
Dont feel bad. This is about to hit a lot of employees with false sense of security. Healthcare is going to do this all across the country.

Being a medical transcriptionist my entire life, starting on a regular typewriter to a MAG-card IBM electric typewriter, to a WANG computer typewriter, to TWS computer, to dictaphone, to finally PowerScribe, job outsourcing going on -- sending dictations out to INDIA for transcription, cutting back more and more transcriptionists, not needed, because finally PowerScribe -- AI was replacing transcribers left and right, and only because I had been transcribing now for 40 years, kept my job until I finally retired 2 years ago. My thought, if they can replace a medical transcriber, look out world, AI can replace more and more and more, seeing musicians being replaced, TV actors being replaced, News Anchors being replaced, why pay millions of dollar contracts when AI can do it.. that is what is going on now.
I bet no one in upper management or other "paper" pushing rolls are out a job. Do a deep dive into the salaries of the top 50 folks and you will see why the hospital is "broke". The number of people who have zero patient contact grows yearly. This is nation wide, if a hospital gets federal money they should be held accountable. It amazes me the number of people getting paid 40 hours a week that have zero impact in patient outcome.
Oh no COVID money gone dry
That's as good a GUESS as any, given that the corporate suits saw no reason to give an explanation.
COVID was 4 Years ago.
Correct and that's how long some of the Covid money (our tax money) has been disbursed. Same with schools.
This tells me the recession is creeping into depression status slowly, we just don't have the full experience just yet since you can technically speaking still pay for most things barely. We're right there though.

@@jameshurley224 this wasn't...how did that even come about in my internet opinion?
Yup
We've been in a recession for awhile now but it's not talked about by either party let alone the MSM.
No one having kids. No need for children's services.
What's with comments!?
Layoff one or more upper level management or a few CEO's and surprise extra revenue frees up to continue employment for these ESSENTIAL medical workers...but even the medical business is about high salarys,outrageous bonuses,luxury vacations and golden parachutes for the upper echelon and the menial support staff takes the hit.
It's one of the most corrupt " businesses" out there.
No shortage of patients, ever increasing costs to the consumer, but somehow they need to lay off 5% of their workforce. And just like with everything else in the medical field, they'll blame long waits for appt's, ER etc. on there being a shortage of licensed nurses and other healthcare professionals. Leading people to believe there's a shortage of people in the field, when in fact, it's their cutbacks due to Corp. greed, not a shortage of qualified individuals.
Higher ups should have taken pay cuts for themselves instead of laying off people or shuffled people around from areas or shifts to fill in the areas that needed help before laying off. At least the people could have had an option to stay or leave.
Why would they?? That's never gonna happen..
@@robertruge2916 but this business hold lives in their hands. They’re not making widgets. Additionally, it’s poor business to make things unsafe in a medically litigious culture.
That’s not how it works.
The CEO of the last company I worked for, told us during a Zoom call, that times were tough and that sacrifices needed to be made. The Zoom call was made from his multimillion dollar home, where he had a housekeeper cleaning his home ( we could see her in the background).🤔🤔
I never thought teachers would be laid off, but back in 2009ish, teachers were laid off in my district and my school.
How is it possible that TX Children’s Hospital is in financial trouble? It’s a major hospital and it’s almost impossible to lose money in the industry. It’s an extremely profitable industry. Make it make sense.
Private equity. They aren't laying off because they are losing money. They are laying off to benefit the shareholders.
Almost half of hospitals are losing money. It’s not nearly as profitable as you claim
Insurance Reimbursement is not what it used to be for preventative care, nor for major care.
Reimbursements are now considered Usual & Customary: fees commensurate with fees from 50 years ago most time.
With today’s cost of operating,
Regulation costs, salaries, there is often times a LOSS when the overhead expenses are met.
@@writerconsideredTCH is a nonprofit hospital. It's not owned by stock holders.
I bet TX has given millions in free healthcare to illegals, how do I know the system I work at has. It pisses me off to no end , if we're given free healthcare it should be for poor AMERICANS.
Why can’t we lay off the useless expensive people?
Because they are the ones making the rules...silly Wabbit.
To all you folks laid off in TX, consider Pittsburgh
Several major hospitals and the housing is affordable
Not if you keep sending out these messages
Better still, consider voting out that bought and sold by the oil industry rat, greg abbot. We don't have to live like this. Our votes count. Vote blue in November. 💙💙💙💙💙
Medical care should not be for profit.
Become a CEO. You will never get "laid off". And you will always have a "golden parachute" if you run the business into the ground.
Starbucks ceo was laid off
I heard that 1500 people were laid off. The remaining nurses must cover each other in the different specialty departments. The remaining nurses had to take a pay cut but the CEO made over 8 million dollars last year
And an additional $800k in bonuses
Wow. Not even Healthcare Jobs are safe.😢😢
In another article, a woman moved from California with her family to take a job there. After she spent twenty thousand to do this, then did her physical in the morning, they told the nurse in the afternoon that they had a hiring freeze. Rescinded job offer. Where were all those administrators then? They get paid to do a bad job?
They can also decrease the ceo's salaries to save their nurses.
Did the executives take a salary reduction before they laid staff off? That’s what we did at my former healthcare employer. We reduced the salary of every leader. That way we laid off fewer essential employees
Healthcare is for profit duuuuh. You gotta get rid of the loyal employees who have gotten raises and bring in new, untrained, employees who get paid less so the “admin” can feed on their bones.
Many hospitals are trying to bring in foreign nurses from places like the Philippines and not pay them well
🎯🎯
Who takes the money ? USA healthcare is the most expensive in the world. Where the money goes?
Workers need to get use to being laid off. This is Corporate America and that’s the way they operate. Move on with your life. Always have enough money set aside for it. Always have a plan B. Change your career if need be. Move to another place if you must. Don’t be a victim. It only hurts the first time it happens. It’s not moral or right but it’s been this way since the 1970s.
Gee, thanks for the lecture. Not all of us have had the ability the last several years to build a nest egg/emergency fund due to Bidenomics. But I'm glad to hear you're set with your plan.
If they are going to financially take care of the unemployed employees till October I don’t see the problem. Lots of companies lay off people several times a year and do not even give a recommendation letter nor pay them for an extra 2 months.
Once again, try harder learn more any corporation or entity with over 500 employees doing a mass layoff they are required by law to give them a severance package karma is all I have to say to you
Because that’s the law
That should tell you what they are doing is a scam.
So glad i left Houston, and Texas. Houston is falling into 1986 again. No jobs and low paying jobs.
Moved out to the Hill Country 9 years ago, don't miss the city and carpentry work is easier than roofing in Houston, of course I get laid off regularly, just finish one project and start another
@@gumecindogarcia1070yea came here thinking I would be able to find work easily as a nurse practitioner…and I’m leaving as soon as possible

What you talking about there are jobs here. You just got to pick the right one with job security. Private Hospitals always layoff ppl. If you want to be set work in county, they will never lay off ppl.
Like Ben Taub will never close or lay off, they're the Citys Hospital.
@@bns434 Rhode Island
unfortunately, massive layoff has been going on in other industries for long time, only this time happens in a health care system.
Not enough children are sick enough to fill up the hospital... Is that supposed to be a bad thing???
Typical of Texas Children's Hospital.
or TEXAS! They drown in Houston over a Tropical Storm! And that State wants to become Independent of the US?
Maybe if you brought down medical cost, people would actually want to go to the hospital.
This is happening in the aftermath of the market crash on Monday and the horrible jobs report from July, we are on the brink of a recession
No severance package? 🤦🏾♀️
1:42 A job contract has never benefited the employee. It only benefits the employer. I feel sorry for this lady. She moved her entire life for this job and in a year, she gets laid off. The bad thing about this for-profit healthcare system is if no one gets sick or hurt then these hospitals do not make any money. These greedy hospital CEOs would run a school bus full of hemophiliacs off the road just to generate some business.
hard to believe any hospital would be laying people off
So sad. Get unemployment while you can. Biden is looking to eliminate it shortly
That's horse crap--listen to something besides Faux News & remember, if it comes out of trump's mouth it's a lie.
People need to understand and have a plan B, especially when working for someone. Dont become complacent and think that your job will need you. Sad and scary lesson people have to go through.
Keep giving free healthcare to all non citizens too. That seems to help the problem. NOt
That's not the problem, bubbie---those are the people doing a lot of the work. It's the big corportations & non-profits (catholic church in my area) laying off workers so the admin (pope?) can have big salaries, fancy cars, mansions---admins are the ones making the decisions about their own salaries---how screwed up is that?
That's a huge problem actually. Our federal and state budgets can't sustain the huge giveaways our politicians are giving to illegals. And have you noticed how long it is now before you can get an appointment? That's what happens with 15 million new people in the country.
And they keep voting blue.
@@vintagelady1 no matter what Illegal aliens should not be entitled to free anything. Especially when the rest of us have to pay so much money WE can’t afford to live.
The need for health care workers is through the roof.
Contracts only hold employees accountable, not the business or organization.
The Medical industry like most major manufacturers are too TOP HEAVY.
To many CEO's , board members, admins, management's which whom are receiving more pay and yet unable to perform properly.
Hospitals in the US are private companies, not public service institutions.
It shows in their physiques. :)

TRUST NO ONE !!
Sad!! This should be a wake up call to those of you who have NOT lost your job. You should have at LEAST 6 months living expenses in savings!! Too many people live paycheck to paycheck. The bills don’t stop just because you got laid off. Forget starbucks and put the $10 in savings!!!
in the Biden economy its better to have at least 1 year.
You need a minimum of a year - 16 months savings. Many people have been out of work for well over a year now and more layoffs occur every day in various sectors.
People can’t save up when inflation is going up and wages are stagnating. Many of those people aren’t spending frivolously in this economy. They’re trying to stay housed and fed
Dude I'm f homeless... I wish I had 10 dollars... For cigarettes, not starbucks.
AMEN. I agree !!! COVID scared me. I really think you should have 12-24 months of savings. Put it in a CD and add to it every year. I treat myself to nails once a month and Dunkin Donuts coffee payday Friday
Good. The medical system is corrupt corrupt corrupt!
The people being laid off weren’t the ones making any of those decisions
Yeah until you need them.
This is upsetting to hear .
Very unusual for hospitals to layoff essential workers.
I don’t mean this rudely but maybe their positions weren’t very essential in the end.
not essential. $125k secretaries
Kinda true but not as rare as you think. Just 5 or so years ago there was another mass layoff at MD Anderson Cancer Center here in Houston where they laid off over 1,000 people. It was a very big deal since that's a lot of people at a top tier institution.
Just in January Harris County Hospitals ( our county funded hospital system) laid off over 100 people which is a smaller number but still significant. It's been quietly happening for a while and ultimately I think it will cause a lowering of wages because workers will be more desperate and those who keep their jobs will be more willing to stay for lower pay.

Hopefully the employees can now find a job at a place with moral standards.
