Will healthcare providers remember how disrespectful they were treated by some administrative staff after corona is a memory???

Just wondering, will all of us who have been used like Kleenex and discarded remember how awful some of our administrative staff have treated us after this is all over???

Healthcare administrators always thought of the providers and staff as numbers for budgeting and spreadsheet purposes rather than human beings with needs. Long before Coronavirus. That is what they exist to do - manage you and the other staff as resources to meet budgetary needs from those higher than they in the hospital hierarchy.

Here is life's most important lesson in human relations.

People will always value you to the extent that you allow them to value you. If you and other staff show up to work regardless of their disrespect, they know they own you. You are willing to tolerate disrespect because their wages and conditions are worth more to you than whatever crap they throw at you.
