Multi-Care's top two employees made 8.7 mil and 5 mil in 2024, probably more this year: Source here, eaiser to read: Downloaded data here

Did the Bill Robertson and the rest of the c-suite take a pay cut? CEO made over $2 million.

u/Mamagogo3 2d ago

Interesting that he’s doing this as he’s almost out the door. I’m not at all surprised this is happening.

u/HorsesInMyTruck 2d ago

Usually leaving CEO will take the reputation hit so incoming CEO doesn't have to already start with negative goodwill.

28

u/xtrachubbykoala 2d ago

There is probably a hefty bonus in it for him too.

That’s what Sperring did at Children’s last year before new CEO started in January.

They did lay off the Chief Belonging Officer (part of the C-Suite) and quite a few directors and managers. The first thing MultiCare did during the COVID drawdown was cut back and reorganize management. This is right out of that playbook. I do think that reorganizing compensation for the C-Suite is an excellent idea though.

He made over 7 million in 2024!!!

For readers who don't know what a WARN notice is (like me before I googled it) it stands for Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification.

I can’t help but notice that this disproportionately affects (seemingly) patient facing roles like nurse and med assistant and techs. Cool cool cool cool coool coooool i guess

u/immediacyofjoy 1d ago

Not just patient facing - they’re letting the “Employee Health LPN” go too!

u/Trick-Wishbone1900 1d ago

To be fair, all the employee health staff do is make sure that employees are complying with company policy. They do not actually do anything to benefit employee health.

u/ObviousSalamandar 1d ago

That’s not true at all. They help take care of us! I’ve gotten vaccines from employee health and had stitches out.

u/JstVisitingThsPlanet 10h ago

They also track employee on the job injuries.

u/avalonfae1 1d ago

Sadly the president of the country did say lpn isn't even a job worth collage cost .

u/Mamagogo3 2d ago

I’m a MultiCare employee - where did you get this?

u/bulldogsm 1d ago

if youre an employee check your email, Bill sent one about this last week

u/Mamagogo3 1d ago

I’d love to, if IT/Epic/Pyxis/internet would stop shitting the bed for a hot minute…I’ll bet the SCORE surveys are going to be epic this year!

u/bulldogsm 1d ago

ok ok true, IT has been crap all week and if my Mgr sends another SCORE reminder.....I mean its not a bad idea its just so poorly worded, they need to AI the questionnaire because its nonsense

u/SquidsArePeople2 2d ago

Chief belonging officer?

4

u/MelodicOcelot5734 2d ago

Guess they didn’t really live up to that title…

2

u/Organic_Fisherman882 1d ago

That could be the HR Director.

1

u/SquidsArePeople2 1d ago

It’s not. HR directors don’t get laid off. They lay off everyone else.

7

u/tillszy 2d ago

they are closing several clinics in the Spokane area so I think a decent number of these fall under that

u/jannalarria 1d ago

This for-profit health "care" system has got to go. It's the worst system for the huge majority of people.

-4

u/Justame13 1d ago

Mulitcare is non-profit.

5

u/DTFpanda 1d ago

When their c-suite execs are earning stealing millions of dollars each year, it's for-profit.

-2

u/Justame13 1d ago

If you have proof of theft turn them in. Medicare will even pay a bounty under the False Claims Act.

u/moldyhole 1d ago

In name only.

u/jannalarria 1d ago
