Metal the last thing I want is to piss you off or argue. But like Irish said Obamacare and the Feds is only making this all worse. A union will only further drive up the cost of what ever medical service you provide all the while the Union steals from your paycheck every week so it can donate money to more Democrats that will vote for Legislation like Obamacare. Its a complete paradox to be in a union and be for a free market. Its not going to happen...
I feel for you and honestly I would not work ANYwhere near the medical field. I'd rather wait tables or cut grass than put up with the Govts bullshit. I'd run if I were you.
You are missing the underlying point I am making which is we are being told we don't have the numbers (which the employees can look up on a shared drive but 99% are too lazy to) to support the staff. I want an advocating body to stand up for us and say, well yes we sure do have the numbers, so stop cutting the hours of someone who is literally doing 2 jobs according to last years census.
It's great to say run from it when you are not 100% invested into it, and there is nothing to run to.
If it were as easy as you put it, it would have been done and be a non-issue at this point, but it is an issue, a huge one. We work for a non profit organization that is in fact very corrupt, fr various reasons that I know of, and I am not a psychic so imagine all the things I don't know. There as many supervisors as there are employees in my department now, it's like a very sad joke. I really wish I just stayed an EMT instead of investing 40k into education on a loan that has doubled, which I have mentioned before, another issue you can do zero about. They phased out my old job though only keeping the pay grade of the EMT's that stayed and any new person was less qualified with lesser pay, so going a step backwards is not an option, and wouldn't erase the student loan debt anyways.
Well I have a rare interview tomorrow, perhaps things will look up, but I wouldn't blame you for not holding your breath.
In any job in this state it is pretty ridiculous especially when I compared it to Australia which is said to be the up in coming nation over the next 10 years.
Here I work a 10 1/2 hour day with 1 timed 30 minute unpaid break
the research I have done there in my field showed a typical 10 hour day, 4 days a week with 1 hour break that was unpaid and two 30 minute paid breaks.
The difference is somewhere around 7% less obesity, which I think correlates as well.
I have done a lot of comparisons like that, that was 1 fresh in my mind.
Leaving to a place like that is like a fantasy though seeing as all my family is here, and we built a house 5 years ago here, so pretty deep rooted.
I truly wish there was an apparent solution, because now a days telling your situation from a realistic point of view is considered being a complainer, bitching, being a grumpy fuck etc.
My analogy to that is I never heard of someone that was raped and said, well it was actually not that bad.
