Doos Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) I’m not reading the article but I would imagine it’s policy not to allow employees to give interviews, unless authorized.

Screw those pesky doctor snitches. Doctors and nurses will probably be the last people that would voluntarily walk out, but they won't have a choice if they start getting infected due to a lack of PPE. The virus will do it for them.

AKIQPilot Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 If I were a doctor and told that I would not show up for work there again. Time to pack up and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, if I were threatened like that I would walk. No need to fire me. There aren't many employers that allow employees to speak to the media with immunity. I get it in this situation with workers not having the supplies they need to do their jobs safely. I just wonder how widespread it actually is. Would be nice if the hospitals, governments, and politicians would be honest with what is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what the topic. Pretty standard not to cause harm to your organization. However, these are bizarre times. I see both sides here. Let’s not keep spreading panic but, we should shine some light on the inept ability to handle this. 4 minutes ago, AKIQPilot said: Yet they will be fired if they speak out about the lack of supplies.

Dumping this all on them isn’t fair....and for any of us to think they are obligated to endanger themselves and family beyond resasoable expectations is absurd. When hey start walking....gonna get interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I said that anybody that blindly believes everything the media says or can’t see the fear pedaling is a stooge. I’d take more time learning how to comprehend things if I were you instead of prematurely jumping to conclusions and biting ankles.

Of course, but I think especially during these times you don’t want just anyone spreading doom and gloom to the media. Nurse Judy could very well be a misinformed dolt, or maybe she is a terrific nurse that is exhausted, emotional, and at her wits end. Either way leave the press releases to the folks responsible for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
