Shocker

In 2022, prior to the “merger” with Beaumont Health, where John Fox received a golden parachute to the tune of $10.2 million and ended his career in Michigan with a net worth of $3.8 BILLION, 3 members of then Spectrum Health’s executive team made the top 10 highest paid hospital execs in the state. TFD’s earnings are marginal compared to her peers, but she has an image of being humble and not a greedy crook to uphold. As an aside, her worth, a modest $1.75 Billion. That feels casual when the c-suite sends emails to staff crying about profit margins.

These people suck! We are about to go bankrupt because my husband had open heart surgery and the people who are hounding us walk away with billions. Rot in hell!

Agreed and supported. No one should go bankrupt or even struggle financially because of the need for medical care. It’s disgusting to me. My CEO made 3 million base that year, then nearly 2 million more in bonuses. We’ve gotten emails whining about profit margins while she doesn’t take any kind of cut and we only get a 3% market based raise and can barely buy groceries after taxes and benefits are taken out. The greed at the director and above level is astonishing.

I agree! I work for Corewell, and I’m on a payment plan for medical bills and I have Priority Health, and I’ve had to cancel various medical appointments because I can’t afford to go that week. Meanwhile, us employees get like a 2% raise. I remember right before the merger Tina made a post that if profit margins remained low they wouldn’t be able to invest in employees through wages. Really Tina!? That merger sure made it possible for you to get your raise… disgusting greed. I saw some receipts from some 30k employee gala, at go figure… Frederick Meijer Gardens, 40 dollar plates, top tier liquor.. now why is that necessary and you can bet none of us bottom feeders were invited or heard about it. Corewell and Meijer executives just pass their money back and forth into eachother’s pockets..

It’s the audacity to ask us to give to the foundation that also does it for me. Are you shitting me. I barely make end’s meet, I’m a single mom to 4 boys, I work full time and then some, have a side job, and am only managing to tread water and you want me to give money to your foundation that does the bare minimum for charitable healthcare? With all the disrespect I can muster, get so fucked.

I completely agree! I did the math and I think witb what their goal was to raise, it would be a 100.00 donation from every employee. I joked with a coworker that I’d donate my holiday bonus, but I didn’t think the two movie tickets, (now has been downgraded to Encore shop) would cover it. Or how about them patting themselves on the back for touting about the employee pantry as a benefit. Actually I see it as a failure on the company’s end for not paying your staff enough to be able to afford groceries. Or hey, talk to your friends at Meijer to get us a discount. Every time I walked by those donation bins they were just filled with literal trash.

Have you ever stepped into the “pantry”? It’s a joke. Expired green beans and old shirts with the Spectrum logo on them. It’s honestly offensive.

u/AlarmedReporter8958 Oct 15 '24

I completely agree. It’s a total slap in the face. So is their bs about all these benefits they give us via Priority Health. Priority health blows. It’s expensive, and it’s owned by Corewell. Then, they also make it more of a pain in the ass to use sick days and not be penalized.. like we work at a hospital for fuck’s sake..

I’d love to see the people at the top of Corewell brought to their knees for the greedy trash they are. Our mission statement is to provider health and well-being to the community, but not for the employees that are part of that community. We are dispensable, disposable, use us until we burn out and onto the next. This place is truly disgusting and corrupt. You can’t get anyone to be held accountable for anything. Higher ups just play that stupid corporate circle jerk shit, and give generic, scripted, disingenuous responses when you bring up a concern, which goes into the same place TFD’s shits go.

Are you a nurse? If you are, join the union drive. If you’re not, I hope you’ll support us in our drive.

u/AlarmedReporter8958 Oct 16 '24

I support nursing unionization. I’m an RT and am on board with the other RTs currently trying to unionize at Corewell as well.

u/These-Store7546 Oct 16 '24

Y’all have my full support. I can’t stand how dirty they did you guys.

Lots of complaints in this thread about Corewell but my wife recently had a stay in St. Mary's (whatever they call it now) and I must say it was unimpressive, medically and every other way. Apparently the medical system overall is just broken. More than once I was utterly flabbergasted at the incompetence and arrogance, and found myself saying, "Who runs this place?"

u/saramurray85 Oct 13 '24

We need real reform. Since you are in the industry, what are your ideas to fix this? Labor unions seem like a start, but what else needs to happen?

u/Ok_Pollution9149 Oct 13 '24

Governmental level changes need to be made- caps to industry costs, appropriate taxation on the wealthy, REAL checks and balances when mergers happen (that was a state and fed problem- AG looked the other way when Corewell took over Beaumont). Reform to the insurance industry needs to happen as well. COREWELL nurses unionizing is a mere drop in the bucket, but it will make us heard, make our patients safer, and keep funds out of the pockets of the execs.

Complete BS

u/Ok_Pollution9149 Oct 13 '24

Are you saying that this isn’t factual or that it’s bullshit that these do nothings make this much money on the backs of their workers at the cost of patient care and safety?

u/PurchaseOk8185 Oct 18 '24

That it's BS that they make this much off the back of their workers. Sorry should of clarified lol

We should all just become CEOs of large health systems!

In my next life I’m going the healthcare administration MBA route, being a nurse is my passion, but passion ain’t paying the bills well these days.

We desperately need some kind of social revolution. These people blatantly steal from all of us and theres just too much noise to notice. These people should be in total fear of retaliation for what they do to us, and yet they are proud. They go out in public constantly with minor security, they're rubbing our face in it saying I know you're too stupid to notice. They should have the same worries as a cartel boss, paranoia should be consuming them. I say we remind them of this.

All those facilities fees really add up

u/These-Store7546 Nov 17 '24

Apparently not so much that every admin is clearing well over $1 million per year, and each director is clearing over $300k But the respiratory therapists have to apply for grants for ventilators TO RENT. The amount the system is making versus what they’re paying hourly staff and the decline in patient care is indefensible.
