All these management types are trained to think of employees as cogs in a machine, and when a cog gets old and starts looking like it might break down some day, they rip it out and stick in a shiny new one. They have actual tables that tell them when an employee is likely to start costing them more money than hiring a brand new trainee would. They love new grads, oh, how they love them. They budget for the lawsuits...
I've quit more than one job when staffing cuts made me feel like my license was on the line every time I walked through the door.
If you kept an actual paper trail about the Medicare shenanigans, it might be wise to drop a dime on them. This is the kind of thing Medicare likes to look into, and understaffing that gross needs to be looked into by the state nursing home regulatory agency. An alert may result in an unscheduled visit, turning up the problems you specified.
I'm out of it now, and I can't think of anything that would induce me to go back, even if my spinal arthritis could be cured overnight. Turning healthcare into a for profit business and trying to run it like a Wal Mart has resulted in an inefficient, overburdened, hideously expensive patchwork system that works for no one save a few corporate CEOs living like sultans on the backs of the sick.
You're well out of it. Good luck on finding a more rational place to work.
