I learned much and made a great many friends. I weathered the rocky times during the merger and rejoiced when it became apparent that the institution would survive. It gave a great feeling of pride to know I may have played a part in the financel turn around.<BR/><BR/>It was with more than a touch of regret that my position was eliminated. I was further saddened when it became apparent that there was virtually no assistence available to me to find another position at BIDMC. The HR staff were less than helpful and almost invisible. At times my HR contact was more concerned with relating her job experiences than helping me with my situation. After applying for several open positions and being told that it would take weeks to months before I would hear back, I finally took a position elsewhere. <BR/><BR/>I was puzzeled by the situation and BIDMC's lack of concern for retaining long term employees. I had always received excellent evaluations and praise for my work from the many departments I had contact with.<BR/><BR/>Although I enjoy my current job I miss being a part of the BIDMC family and the people that made it a pleasant place to work. It would have been wonderful it BIDMC were as vested in retaining employees as it is in providing quality health care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-49856350263786684992008-01-15T07:46:00.000-05:002008-01-15T07:46:00.000-05:00Great compliment to you and your leadership, Paul....Great compliment to you and your leadership, Paul. The only sad thing is that this person went from one extremely labor-short profession (medical technology; "lab worker" for laymen), to another labor-short profession, nursing. As a former medical laboratory director I feel obligated to put in a plug for the lab people - even though just as scarce, they are underpaid relative to nurses due to invisibility. And if you think they just run machines, not so. There is no one as attuned to strict quality control and proper process/procedure as a laboratorian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
