More than 150 Houston hospital workers resign or are fired for refusing to have Covid-19 vaccine
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | June 24, 2021 | Peter Belfiore

More than 150 employees at a Houston hospital resigned or were fired Tuesday after they refused to follow a hospital policy requiring they get vaccinated against Covid-19.

A spokesperson for the hospital, Houston Methodist Baytown, said that among 200 employees who were told they needed to be vaccinated by June 7 or face a two-week suspension, 153 either resigned or were terminated.

The departures came after a judge dismissed an employee lawsuit over the vaccine requirement.

Nice.

How are they going to staff the hospital to provide even basic medical care?

Funny how the media tries to make us think that the Healthcare worked all were vaccinated. The you see reality of 150 of them at one facility walking off the job. The vaccination numbers being reported are a lie.

Houston Methodist Baytown will now have to hire 150 temps who I assume will also have to be vaccinated. Good luck with that.

Likely most have had the disease and did not need vaccination.

They don’t care... I hope they get sued like crazy because of losses resulting from being under staffed. “Risk management” and their insurance company has got to be having fits over this policy. This policy is going to harm more than it will protect.

Somehow, the other 25,000 employees will find a way to do it.

Given that the Hospital system has over 26,000 employees and 153 of them refused the vaccine I would say they will do just fine staffing the hospital(s) in the system.

Nurses, orderlies, technicians are in short supply across the nation. If you are one of these people you can pretty much choose where you want to work, and how much you are going to get paid.
This place just took a tight market and reduced the potential employees available by 50%.
The fallout from overworked staff and lack of care to patients because of it will be very costly.

Once this facility is totally destroyed, the executives that made this decision will get a boatload of cash to leave and just move on to the next facility.

They are a magnet Hospital...they are going to lose that status due to employee dissatisfaction scores.

You will see more leave beside the first 150 especially if most of the 150 were nurses. Having been a nurse and seeing what happens when a group of unhappy nurses decides they’ve had enough crap sandwich thrown their way, the sense of doom and misery can cause nearly 75 percent staff turn overs in key units over 18 months. That hospital has really screwed the pooch with its employees.

As it is in “regular” times in regular hospitals we normally see a thirty five percent churn rate of new to 3 year experienced bedside nurses over 2-3 years and nearly 80 percent gone at the end of 5 years from the original new hires that started 5-6 years before. Most of the young want their 1-3 years before trying for other positions in other hospitals that will give them more money or they go onto Nurse Practitioners school, PA school, Nurse anesthetist school, or go into management.(anything to get away from bedside nursing) So the the pool of bedside nurses always stays on average at the 0 to 3 year level.

Houston Methodist Baytown will regret what they did!

Given that the way medical care is today, at least 25,550 of the employees are diversity consultants, administrators, and lawyers, they might have a little more problems with patient care than you might think.

The question is the patients. How will they do with a temporary staff? They are the ones who the hospital put in jeopardy because of their demand that staff take an experimental medical treatment as a condition of employment.

FWIW, I’d get independent verification of that number.

And the job titles of any personnel dismissed.

There’s already a massive nurse shortage in this country.

Ya...I mean, having worked in a hospital, they probably have 10,000 Auto Immunizations in their auto immune memory chip system they overcame ‘without science’ or a jab. YEP, need to keep them out as their auto immune system is compromised.(sarc)

It’s super easy to find new replacement employees for a hospital, right? Maybe not so much.
