13. PPE means Personal Protective Equipment

FYI of those who may not know. And THAT is damned alarming.

Thanks for your info. I just went to lunch and election panel training yesterday with a a neighbor. I was telling her about what I'd heard about UPMC and layoffs and she said, "Oh, that's already happening." Her cousin and 2 others were very recently laid off by UPMC from the dept. they worked in. My neighbor said, "And guess what - they were the three oldest in the dept. (all women, of course). We know that's another corporate strategy - lay people off based on how much they make, not on how good they are on at their jobs. I didn't ask her what dept. they worked in, but will do so.

I used to live in Monroeville (Saunders Station Road area), and was friends with the then borough solicitor and his wife. He told me that Monroeville was known for having the most corrupt and bribe-able borough (town) council in Allegheny County. Wonder what role they played in removing that hospital from the tax roles.


Stay safe in your nursing job. I know you all are overworked re patient loads and back-to-back shift demands.
