Hospital sues at will employess attempting to quit

[jsbhike]

Never heard of blocking someone with no contract from leaving, but appears it has happened. Details in the video are consistent with articles I have read on this incident

Yeah, let this never-ending COVID crap continue (and it will), and even perhaps the latest boogey-man China is covering up over there crosses the pond, and you will see more of this. Personally if I could retire right this minute I would, but unfortunately I've got just over 4 more years until I am eligible to do so (trust me, it'll be prior to age 62).

My wife works at the same facility as I do and they just got a mandatory 4 hours per pay period of OT; yeah, some of you work lots more than that but her and I don't financially have to and therefore only need to be at work for our 80 hours per check.

People are burned out, and there's no end in sight. Some even suggest that the shit-show of the last two years is the "new norm". Yipee. Hospitals are getting desperate.

People bitch all the time about the health care they receive. Think you have something to complain about now? LOL just wait a couple years.

The term health care is very Orwellian... its a system made of policies to milk insurance. The system doesn' t care about you. Only about the policy, procedures, and profits.

True, but when put in a bind (usually involving staffing issues) they will play the "...but the patient card". I always suggest that those in administration making the decisions---and the big bucks---get their asses in a set of scrubs and get on in there when faced with staffing issues. But we all know that'll never happen. They're too good to be privates out in the trenches but will certainly not hesitate to lecture YOU about "the patient ".

Yeah, a lot like the military.

Hospital B response. Not that any excuse from Hospital A could justify what they wanted, but this goes in to just how much BS they are spewing.

Hope a similar one comes out concerning the judge.

That response is awesome. Glad they have the balls to write it the way they did

How true.

Yeahhhhh..... let's see how that stands up in court. I'm sure legal scrubbed the language until squeaky clean, but I'm not sure about that.

So far a judge is going along with it. Seems like a mighty thin line between the allegedly off limit concept of being forced to go back to work for Employer A vs. Employer A being able to prevent people from working elsewhere.

1. Go to a higher court.

2. Start a new med care group that employs the people in question and then have that group contract with the new hospital.
