Let go from the Shea campus in 2007, June. OK so what. After over 20 years of being a loyal and dependable employee. I had been in the medical field for 40 years and always treated fellow employies with equal respect. I was never afraid to give a hand shake, a high five, a pat on the back and a good hug. It was always total respect for that person and only to those I knew. My department was under and out side management company, {service masters}. They were over several departments. They always tried to be tough and hateful, and they did not like me from the begining. They are the ones that really run the hospital system. Under buget, bonuses and cheap products. They will do anything to get rid of an employee they do not like. After all my contribution to the hospital and my popularity they found a kink in my armor. I was charge with hugging, patting people on the back and giving someone a 15 second neck rub. Take in mind I worked in the Labor and Delivery Department and the Neonate Intensive Care and did so proudly. I was terminated with in a 10 minute meeting with HR. No chance because SM was incharge and pulling the strings. I left the hospital mortified that I may hurt someones feels and even a chance to make right. 20 years, well I should have earned the chance. In a hospital that huging another employee is a constant, I just did not understand. I do now. 3 years later I still can not find work. This is indeed the short version. Sorry for being windy.
Pros: It was my second home, I thought I had friends
Cons: some rules enforced unfairly and for revenge
