I do my own stunts
One of the perks of working for a big employer is you always get paid on time... right?
I work in quite a specialised role for Oxford University Hospitals. All clinical staff were meant to get a nationally agreed 1% pay rise this month (don't spend it all at once).
Last month we got an email saying that they had "forgotten" to email the payroll company to implement the pay rise. Bearing in mind the payroll company is contracted for most NHS Trusts this isn't a particularly believable story.
Then we have a meeting saying that there is no point complaining about short staffing because we will have even less in a years time and less still in two years time.
Then it turns out all the enhancements for night/weekend work that many staff rely on because their pay is below the living wage have been underpaid by over half with no explanation.
This week we got an email saying that the Trust have overspent by £25m and we should watch the intranet because they will be publishing details of staff cuts over the coming month.
Total utter sh*t. No wonder so many people are leaving and we are so short staffed. A patient on my ward had a stroke today and no-one noticed until their visitor pointed it out hours later because we were chronically short of staff. A couple of months before we had an elderly lady die of totally avoidable sepsis because we didn't have enough staff to stay with her when she needed one-to-one care. No-one cares about it.
And this could be you, your family, your friends having this level of care.
