During the pandemic i abandoned my job at a hospital. I was a housekeeper and A few weeks into the pandemic getting bad and I show up to hear “we don’t have enough masks for EVERYONE, so you don’t get one”
“Then im going home!”
Two weeks later my shift supervisor died of COVID and the hospital insisted she didn’t catch it there.
They made no effort to protect the housekeeping staff and tried to downplay the pandemic. Never went back and im glad
I was a janitor during all of COVID at a hospital. I cleaned the ER, Med Surg, ICU, and the maternity ward. Our pay was cut by 25% for two months to help alleviate the hospital’s expenses. They excused it by saying even the CEO was taking a 25% cut. I literally could not afford food during those two months bc I was let go from my other job bc of the pandemic. I’m sure the CEO barely noticed having less
It wasn’t just housekeepers. They didn’t have PPEs for surgeons, doctors and nurses that were treating covid infected.
At the time, I created a print farm and was printing PPEs for hospitals all around the Seattle area. I like to believe my tiny effort saved someone’s life.
It really showed how unprepared hospitals are. My boss was saying “it’s not our job to make sure there are a million n95 masks in stock for everyone” like yeah it kinda is. We were trained to always use ppe and told how important it is, suddenly an actual crisis hits and they’re acting like masks aren’t necessary
It is their job to make sure you are safe. A global pandemic when millions of people are dying. Ya. I would also quit as well. Your decision might have saved your own life and maybe even more than just yourself. Good job!
You absolutely made the right decision. The clowns making those types of decisions kept themselves safe by working from home and pulling in absurd paychecks with zero regard for those in the hospital
