I still remember the day, it was Monday. It started out like any other day until there came the announcement the CEO was to hold a meeting at 8 for all available employees. We all figured it wouldn't be good news, we were right. About an hour after the meeting our boss came in to tell us what the meeting was about. The hospital was going to lay off about ten percent of its workforce. So 70 people were going to lose their job that day. I was a little nervous, we had just laid off a worker about a month before this.
We were told there were no foreseen cuts coming and then we get this. We were all worried it was going to be us. However, our boss told us the people being laid off were not at work. We all started to think about who it could be. It happened to be my friend that lost his job. His hours were going to be cut in half, there was no way it would be enough money to support his family. He decided to take the severance package and look for work elsewhere.
Not only did we lose that one extra person but another employee is quiting after Christmas and we are not re-filing the position. So those of us still at work are going to have to make up for it. We are all expected to do more work in the same amount of time. It's going to be stressful.
