The position she started off at was a bed coordinator then she went to department manager, now she 's finally at Good Samaritan Hospital and is now is a site leader in management. We also found out that most of the higher up positions were handpicked. Two employees started off with a housekeeper position. From there they went to become bed coordinators. From there their next promotion was to site manager. When you go in the office to submit your resume for these positions, you were told that you could not apply because you did not have a degree. Finally they started telling everyone to finish out their degrees or have a degree. There was an incident where two people applied for the same position and the person who was hired had no educational background. But if you go by their rule or specifications for the job the person without the degree should not have even been able to submit the resume. So the person without education was picked for the specific job and was told that that must complete a degree. We were told that the whole department is going to restructure and everyone in management will be required to have a degree, which was how it was supposed to be anyway. But instead of coming to everyone the head person over everything is sneaking and talking to everyone he wants in management and telling them to make sure you get your degree because changes will happen.
We have housekeeper that are leaving the department

    I am a person that feels like the minimum wage should be raised and that people should be getting paid more than they are getting paid right now. There are a few reasons why I feel this way and strongly believe that something should be done about the situation. People are doing to much work for what they are getting paid so it makes the people feel overworked. One of the reasons that I feel this way is because with what I am getting paid right now it is hard for me to pay my bills. $7.35 is not enough to live off of when you have a lot to pay for.…

    Why minimum wage should be raised to 12 an hour I know from personal experience that $7.25 is barely enough for a single adult to get by on in Huntsville Alabama where the cost of living is one of the lowest in the country. I made $7.35 an hour and got about 27 hour a week which was about 198.45 a week after taxes I made about 160, now you times that by four it equal to $640 a month plus my army disability of $133 I had 773. I used this to pay my $380 rent, $60 light bill, $20 internet, $57 phone bill not to mention Netflix Hulu and gym fee which total to 30.98. So the sum of my bill were 547.98-733= 225 left of 56 each week to buy gas and food no to mention if an emergency came up I had to compensate for them.…

To fund these increases, the CEO dramatically reduced his salary from $1 Million USD to $70,000 USD and is projecting higher profits in the coming years (O’Brien, 2015).
