“The Haddits have left the building”

“The Haddits have left the building,” by John O’Connor, McKnight’s LTC News

Quote:

“We’re seeing some unusual developments as long-term care recovers. One is that many employees seem to be embracing a different general outlook. And not different in an all-is-well kind of way. More like different in an “I’ve had it” kind of way. And how, exactly, have they had it? Let us count just some of the ways: They’ve had it with a facility so consistently messed up. They’ve had it with crappy equipment and screwy work schedules. They’ve had it with me-first managers and practicing politicians masquerading as colleagues. They’ve had it with feeling like easily-replaced cogs in a dysfunctional machine. There are many more boxes that can be checked here, but I’m sure you get the general idea.”

 

LTC Comment, Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform:

If you think you’ve “had it” with the pandemic, just thank goodness you don’t work in the nursing home business. And if you do work there, thank you for hanging in so far.
