Cooperstown, New York-based Bassett Healthcare Network, a regional integrated healthcare provider, has announced a reduction in force to help mitigate multimillion-dollar losses in 2022 and 2023.
The personnel realignment will impact 100 administrative employees.
According to newly appointed President and CEO Staci Thompson, "We worked with people and tried to handle it in the kindest way possible, realizing that these were difficult decisions and people's lives were impacted. As a leadership team, we agonized over every position that was affected and made sure that what we were doing was really in the best interest of the future and the greater good for the organization."
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. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible 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. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
