There were over 150 layoffs throughout the system this year, but no pay cut for him. He now has an armored SUV and a bodyguard.

Hospital CEOs can actually make money over there? We've just got managers over here, and they make even less money than the doctors do. Who says socialist medicine doesn't have a good side? :P Goodness. Hospital CEOs can actually make money over there?

I haven't actually had a work ethic since then.

Nurses are (I believe) the MOST important part of our healthcare system, and to neglect them is to neglect the patients they care for!

The other CEOs in our area only make $250,000 - $300,000 per year. Believe me, Mr. Grinch aint worth it.

I'm guessing if they paid a lesser salary, you'd have ended up with an incompetent CEO that could have caused a lot more damage. If you want the workers and the bosses to make the same amount of money, go to a communist country. Both will make barely enough to live on.

So he is not confirming or denying that he is a jerk? LOL I used to work at a massive hospital were the CEO received a multi-million dollar salary, plus they bought him a mansion close to the hospital. I kid you not. That was the actual email?

My GHW gave the nurses a fifteen dollar Target card for Christmas. The way I look at it, they probably negotiated the price at 12 dollars. I ended up spending sixty at Target, merely because it took a third of the card in gas to drive to a store I don't frequent. Lovely, just lovely. Tammy Not quite sure why you are so bitter.
