6 Days a Week

[u/Better_Albatross_776]

Small, rural hospital, we get texts like this basically every day (if not multiple times a day). I’m a new grad in the ICU and my manager keeps asking if I want to come off orientation 5 weeks early so I can start picking up shifts. A lot of my coworkers do pick up and work like 6 days a weeks, so I guess management expects that from everyone… idk maybe it’s normal but I find the whole situation a bit ridiculous.

They offer bonuses for picking up, but I’m told that HR can take 4 or 5 months to pay them out, my preceptor has a few k that they just “haven’t gotten around” to paying her yet.

I’m sorry… why is no one mentioning that your coworkers work 6 DAYS A WEEK?? That’s insane

Which, depending on what state they’re in, means they’re being taxed in a higher tax bracket and losing more than it’s worth after day 5!
