New York, New York-based New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, a public benefit corporation operating the largest municipal healthcare system in the United States, has announced a major reduction in force.
The reduction in force will impact 847 employees when the city's initiative for COVID-19 testing and contact tracing ends its universal contact tracing by the end of April 2022. Managerial employees affected by the layoffs will have their employment terminated between May 13, 2022, and May 27, 2022.
According to a company statement, "Due to the reduced need for COVID-19 contact tracing efforts within the City of New York and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendation to cease universal COVID-19 contact tracing programs, NYC Health + Hospitals will be permanently separating 874 employees of the Test and Trace Program."
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
