If emotional salary is another word for higher nurse:patient ratio I’m actually all for it and would treasure being able to slow down and both conserve more energy for myself and have more time to actually feel like I’m taking care of people instead of shoving pills in people’s faces and running on to the next one. That’s also a functional raise in that I’d be doing less overall work for the same pay.
But realistically that is also an increased expenditure for my boss same as paying me more and they’re actually talking about more tea carts and pizza parties.
Was just talking to my coworker last night about how ppl be sayin’ dumb shit like “ratios aren’t the only thing that affect quality of care its more complex than that!” It’s 90% of the problem. Stop acting like that other shit matters even half as much and admit that 90% of the problem has a super simple fix that you just don’t want to pay for.
Same with housing and the mental health crisis. “Well it’s more complex than that people actually also need-” shut up. Just shut the fuck up. If any other problems in the world had super simple 90% fixes and then you only have to worry about the remaining 10% complex part we would be jumping on that shit.
But telling jeff bezos to pay his fair fucking share and putting it towards housing people is just straight heresy in the church of capitalism.
“It’s more complex than the obvious huge part of the problem” should be the start of saying that the problem should be addressed and then we should also work on those other things too.
Like how both pay AND working environment need to be improved instead of choosing one over the other!

They may be threatening to unionize over low pay but I bet a pizza party will clear that right up.
