San Diego, California-based UC San Diego Health, a nonprofit, fully integrated healthcare delivery system operating several regional hospitals and clinics, and affiliated with the University of California, San Diego, has announced a 1.5% reduction in force.
The reduction in force will impact 230 employees, including pharmacists, clinical social workers, and clinical laboratory scientists working in the blood bank
According to a company spokesperson, “The decision was made solely in response to mounting financial pressures caused by federal impacts to health care, regulatory uncertainty, and rising costs of providing care combined with reimbursement rates from Medicare, Medicaid, and insurers that fail to keep pace with the true cost of care.”
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life, nor promises of a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
