GETTING MID-EVIL ON YOUR ASS
Protesters brought a catapult to launch burning tires into the French city of Quimper after demands that the hospital, suffering a doctor shortage, should open 24 hours a day and that staff numbers be increased, were ignored.

The protest comes in the wake of the death of a six-month-old girl who was brought to the hospital, but due to greed causing a lack of staff, was left unattended and untreated.

Hospital management and city authorities deny wrong doing and refuse to comment.

Do not confuse short-staffed and understaffed.

Short-staffed is when two people call out sick unexpectedly, or someone is fired for cause. It is expected to a very short term interruption of smooth operations.

Understaffed is when someone decides that the work of ten people can be done by six people. There is no plan to hire anyone to alleviate the stress and increased workload.

Kelowna 911 dispatch services suffering from ‘worrisome’ low staffing

Kelowna 911 phone operators are stretched so thin that the union representing them says it's a public safety risk and they want people to be aware.

In a healthcare #wtf moments, when I asked my boss at #Urgentcare yesterday about orders to add on an #influenza screen to our standard Covid for new nausea and ongoing headache/fatigue, I was forced off because this meets #Covid sx. At UC, our positivity rates for flu are 30% right now, so I was much more concerned for flu. So, they were #shortstaffed yesterday because it took time for my PCR to come back negative. What's more fun? Job doesn't require negative flu to return.
I love it when work asks if you can help by doing extra work, like it’s an actual choice 🤷🏻 #work #unpaid #shortstaffed
