One of my RN friends messaged me, worrying about rumours of paycuts at her hospital. She said there are last minute meetings scheduled for next week, so she should have more info soon. She works in the same town as me but for a different hospital system. It has me worried, if one hospital makes a move, the others usually follow suit.
It got me really thinking about my job. I've always said the biggest thing keeping me here has been the fair pay. If we took a paycut, I'd have to re-evaluate. Even if the new rate was fair or above market rate, I think I would be hurt that today I was worth $x, and tomorrow I'm worth $x-y. Why would a person's value decrease so suddenly?
Anyhow, I knew there would be changes coming to healthcare compensation, and I have feared the worst but hoped for the best. If the worst happened, and your pay was cut but still at or above market rate, would you stay or look elsewhere?
