The best hospital in the state (Northwestern Memorial) pulls similar games. I know someone that moved from there to another major Chicago hospital. The pay almost doubled and they no longer had to work on call. Better in every measurable way, but it just wasn't the same prestige and quality of work as Northwestern.

It's a shot job, never will be high pay, but shes good at it and enjoys it most of the time. Her supervisor recently sent an email out about how she ha worked hard advocating for the staff and had a suprise for them about compensation she would discuss with them individually. What it turned out was she had "advocated" to get them all up to 15 dollars and hour. What she didnt remember was that the healthcare system had publicly announced that they were moving to a 15 dollar minimum starting pay. This lady tried to take credit for that. Her "advocating" consisted of getting staff exactly the bare minimum. Needless to say, the wife was pissed, she had been training this new girl for a couple weeks, who was now making the same wage as her. I normally dont condone underporforming on purpose. But I told her if they're going to pay her the same with her 20 years experience as the girl with two weeks experience, then she should only give them two weeks experience performance. Shes a bigger person than me and opted to apply for a lateral position in a different department and negotiated herself another 1.50 on top. That is a prime example of how not to keep valued staff. In case you were looking for a what not to do. On Thu, Oct 29, 2020, 11:31 PM Seth Mattinen < [email protected] > wrote: A lot of the advice now is to always keep changing jobs. Take the bigger offer. Don't spend too much time in one place. Don't be loyal to a company. And I can't really fault any of that that; there's rarely a payoff these days to putting in a career at a single company. I'm the kind of worker where if I feel my work is unappreciated I'm going to perform just the minimum until I quit. I had a manager that was all about penalties and punishment. I was early in college with no life-level bills to pay, so the threat of losing a paycheck didn't hold any sway over me. I worked for the love of the craft, getting paid was not the payoff. When I did quit, I didn't get another job that was anywhere near the upper half of my skill level for years because I didn't feel like anyone deserved to benefit from my skills. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
