Thread regarding John Muir Medical Center - Walnut Creek Campus layoffs

Laying off experienced and knowledgeable stuff for cheaper replacements

These layoffs are not for the community. These layoff are to reduce expense by laying off tenured and older staff typically at higher salaries and benefits. This is about "profits to invest back in to services" but really incentives and bonuses for leadership at JMH. Since the affiliation with UCSF, they are now taking a play from UCSF's playbook and outsourcing IT jobs to India. This is also not community focused. As UCSF is finding out outsourcing is ineffective, unproductive, and expensive. JMH will experience the same outcome. Those that will be negatively impacted will be the remaining staff, nurses, physicians, and patients...and our community.

John Muir Health continues to lay off more staff, now in their IT department. They are outsourcing positions through Deloitte India. Hard working tenured IT staff are being kicked to the curb "for the benefit to the community", but these workers are members of the community, with families to support and mortgages to pay.

They say it's because they cannot compete with Kaiser, but they have a different business model (premium experience and care) and will NEVER be able to compete with Kaiser. The JMH decision to outsource is doing a huge disservice to the community.
