But biden is saying the economy and jobs increased more under his watch than any pResident ever!

Bidens inflation hasn’t helped, but this snowball has been forming long before Biden

I don’t really agree with this outside of heavy technology positions.

Well, neither do I but it hasn’t stopped several companies that i know of outsourcing things like HR, day-to-day IT, administrative support, just from what i’ve seen over the past year or so. I needed to do something via HR at a local hospital system i used to work for, and i couldn’t get an answer. I tried to find out where the office was, and I was told that there wasn’t one. The person who called me back wasn’t in India, but they were in another state 1000 miles away. They do this shite.

Most income from insurance reimbursements, Medicare and Medicaid is relatively fixed. It’s harder to adjust to a big inflationary jump with the existing set up.

Well obviously Ochsner is just being greedy. The Biden admin CREATED 12.6 million jobs since he took office.

Statement from President Joe Biden on March Jobs Report; April 7, 2023

This is a good jobs report for hard-working Americans. Today’s report shows that we continue to face economic challenges from a position of strength, with the economy adding 236,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate at 3.5%. My economic agenda has powered an historic economic recovery. We’ve created 12.6 million jobs since I took office. The unemployment rate is close to the lowest it has been in more than 50 years and a record low for African Americans. Thanks to the policies we have put in place, the recovery is creating good jobs that you can raise a family on, which is pulling more Americans into the labor force. In fact, the share of working age Americans in the labor force is at a 15 year high.

30 yr mortgage interest rates in a Biden 2nd term will probably hit 15%. That combined with your impending layoff... wooo boy.

Thos nurses would be idiots to take the job

Go sign on at a different hospital and get a bonus instead of moving positions within Ochsner

---

That would really depend on the risk aversion for the particular nurse and how long Ochsner gives them to make that decision. If they are on the call w/ upper management and need to make the decision on the call without already having feelers out there, it would be better for them to take the transfer then start looking around. Depending on where they live, without uprooting their family, they may have difficulties landing a new gig over the next few months at a non-Ochsner owned/managed facility.

Especially since they will be competing with people already looking to move and the new crop of unemployed/laid-off people.

The hard question though is knowing who in admin is needed. Because the truth is doctors will absolutely gorilla frick a business if given the opportunity. They basically murdered their half of Ochsner before they sold it

HA. True.

Docs and attorneys. Two professional groups that are highly paid and have no idea how to run a business.

LCMC hiring?

Wife was just told to work from home tomorrow. I don’t know if anyone sent in a threat, but I think it’s more of a precaution in case anyone loses their mind for being fired. Crazy world we live in.

they just wait a couple of weeks all those employees will likely die anyway from the vax and save Ochsner severance money


Yeah, it's coming up on 3 years. I was told I would be dead in 3 years after vaccine.
