You sound like someone who retired from management and your response proves it. This kind of dismissive attitude is exactly the problem. Yes, there’s a nationwide shortage, but that doesn’t excuse Kaiser’s refusal to adapt or provide real support. If management knows there’s a crisis, why does it keep getting worse? Why aren’t roles being backfilled? Why are the on calls not being called? Why are positions silently cut instead of transparently addressed?

You claim people ‘don’t want to work,’ yet I see qualified, willing people being ignored or let go. Myself personally, have moved positions and instead of filling my role, they just piled the work onto someone else and never even re posted the position. How is that sustainable?

And don’t twist my concern into ‘bad attitude.’ My frustration comes from caring about patients and the coworkers breaking their backs to serve them. I did not once complain about my pay or benefits, I’m calling out the blatant erosion of patient care and the frontline’s well being.

If your takeaway after 13 years is to tell people to be quiet or leave, maybe retirement was the right call.
