I once worked at a hospital in the ER where the department director was a union-busting bastard, but the CEO was pretty reasonable. After I left, one of the other ER techs went to the CEO about our pay being messed up and got everyone $5-6/hour raises to actual market rate. Also, there were a few weeks when we were really understaffed that the hospital encouraged admin folks to volunteer as “candystripers” in the ER to do stuff like help clean/turn over rooms, and answer patient call lights for water, blankets, etc. And the CEO was down in the ER for a couple hours every evening helping out most of that time period. It was encouraging to see the CEO of the hospital putting on some gloves and helping us with basic stuff like cleaning and stocking.
to me, just the thought of having a CEO for a hospital is enough to put a bad taste in my mouth though.
It was a legitimately nonprofit hospital and he probably was overpaid, but at least he was a practicing physician at one point and did seem to give a damn about his staff.
Hospitals still need an executive for decision making. Could be a president or ceo. It’s “for profit” that’s going to reverse the incentives and run the whole thing.
Good point. He earns exponentially more than anyone else in the hospital yet he can do whatever he wants. If he feels like being a candy-striper today for a few minutes, great. Then he can do whatever he wants after that. He’s not stuck doing one repetitive job day in and day out. He can do whatever he wants and earn exponential amount of money. How did he even get in that position?
Family connections most commonly.
Is lemmy made up of 15 year olds? You think a hospital can run itself with no one in charge? The comments on this thread are amazing.
Ceo implies it’s a for profit institution. Director, director general, overseer, those are titles appropriately here. CEO is a title of a corporation.
Nope, nonprofits have CEOs too. Especially nonprofit hospitals.
Why do you think a company without a CEO would be without anyone in charge? Can you only imagine something running if a single person has executive control of an org?
Janitor ain’t gonna fire 1000s/10,000s of employees while getting a $20 million bonus or run the company into the ground and get rewarded with a generous golden parachute on his way out. If anything, the janitor usually toils in relative obscurity, only seen in passing or called upon when people need help cleaning their shit.
If the CEO stops going to work for a month nobody cares if the janitor doesn’t go to work for 2 days it’s mayhem. 5 days in and we will be in Lord of the Flies.
I’ll be far too full after eating the rich to also eat the janitor.
Share the platter w/ the janitor. Then you can eat twice the rich
That’s solidarity right there
Janitors put in an honest day’s work.
"I am the eyes and ears of this institution, my friends. By the way, that clock is twenty minutes fast. "
I didn’t know your dad worked here.
^This, but the best I’ll do is upvote and comment, I’m not reblogging shit for nobody!:-P
Always gonna respect the person with a real job
This can be interpreted in both ways
Did more than the principal back in hs, most of us did.
You treat the CEO with the same respect as Rodney Dangerfield.
What am I, his wife?
I respect folks that take the time to learn my. And part of that respect is learning their names as well.
Thanks for all your hard work, Peeta!
Tbf there are plenty CEOs who care for their company and their employees. It just so happens that investors don’t appreciate that
“We were just thinking of the shareholders.” You can’t just pass the blame to shareholders. Why do shareholders exist? To create the illusion that everyone can be an “owner” so that the owning class can continue to fuck us all.
I don’t understand the inherent hatred for all CEOs here and on Reddit. It’s just groupthink and ignorance really.
Lemmy tends to have inherent hatred for CEOs because Lemmy is a leftist platform, in structure and userbase. Leftists tend to hate Capitalists.
It’s like everyone on this platform is a 15 year old. Someone above just said a hospital shouldn’t have a CEO. They’re children that think CEO means “evil person”.
What with the display order on these screenshots anyway? Can we pick one chronological sort order and stick with it?
This one isn’t confusing, though. Top to bottom.
I don’t think that’s correct. It goes bottom > top > middle.
The bottom one is the person who is sharing a meme, I think? I don’t understand the idea of reading their commentary before looking at the image. I know what you are talking about, but I think that’s more when it is replies, isn’t it?
