As someone who is not a healthcare worker, I am extremely concerned about healthcare workers ability to provide healthcare when they’re being stretched so thin. I know how hard it is in my role to be short staffed so I can’t even imagine how hard it must be for the people in ERs and hospitals. I would really prefer that people are able to get adequate rest and benefits for themselves but also so fatal mistakes don’t happen to patients as well. I hope they give the employees what they need because this is ridiculous. At what point is enough enough? People, in general, can’t keep “sprinting” throughout their entire employment - we don’t even know if we’ll ever be able to retire - so people really need to be given the opportunity to also rest. I don’t get it.

I’m going to look into this, thanks. I need to make some life changes to limit my stress a bit but damn is it hard when jobs don’t give raises and prices keep going up and just.. people. I’m willing to try anything at this point though.

Throw an absurd number out there like $400,000/yr. I bet they’ll suddenly remember what the range is.
