LTC retention

Published

After second interview, still couldn't tell me what my pay rate would be (some big secret that only one person knows) still want me to jump through hoops dragging on for more than a week. Said they are focused on retention because there is such a high turnover rate. Hey , here's a thought, pay more, in accordance with inflation, and just maybe you won't have to spend so much on new orientation q 2 weeks!! Stop the cheap labor and go for offering a decent rate of pay....just maybe..you wouldn't have to spend to much on turnover. Don't tell me you dont have that information! And, have a facility run more successfully!!Yeah you want to hear "this is my dream job" ..but we got mouths to feed too! Just lay it out on the line before wasting anymore of my time!! Seems simple and obvious to me.........:mad:(we can't all go for the job we LOVE, and still pay the bills!) Look at the BIG picture.

"I don't know why but what you say about 'hiding the pay scale' is becoming the new thing at some places. You'd think it was a matter of national security.

I hope to find out why its being done, because I can't figure why."

BECAUSE.....

they want to get you wanting the job right now, thinking you're going to get hired and you have to have money, right?

Then at the last minute, whoever it is in charge of that little fact throws out less than you anticipated, but you take it because you need it!!!

That may not ALWAYS be the scenario, but I've sure seen it often enough. And its related to that lovely corporate rule "Don't discuss your salary." Why, because you may find out that Nancy Nurse who has half your experience and no common sense knows how to bargain and makes $10K more than you.

Maybe I'm just cynical........
