Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
My depatment is at the lowest point it could be at. Treated like we're 'not that important', no real sppreciation. The customers appreciate us more than anyone in administration.
Loss of union rights. Have lost too many benefits for years
They decreased PTO. Raises have never kept pace with inflation.
Paying a living wage in a city that is increasingly expensive
Profit centered for administration only. No care for staff shortages and safety

Start respecting your employees and give them raises that are reflective of their work, not the standard .42 cents that you give to all.
Fairer wage increases. More staff. More appreciation from the organization. Bring back staff meals for holidays. Bring back appreciation-"hero's work here" signs dont cut it

Review from Admin Dept
I hate the people. They're all so fake.
See previous comments. Lack of focus and priotitization. Strategic plan has too many projects, and new things are added. Put the focus back on the patient and value our front line.

Rarely positive, constructive feedback. Usually hear only when something goes wrong--crisis mode.
