The hospital chain I work for was hit with ransomware last month. Door locks, time clocks, and photocopy machines still worked, but all computers were down. We use paper records, but it was frustrating and inconvenient. We're not allowed to pay due to laws. Corporate started slowly building us a brand new, but terrible, network 5 weeks after the old one went down. Definitely caused a little staff burnout, but not more than corporate's relentless attempts to extract additional profit from us at the expense of our patients and our wellbeing.

If they treat you like an ATM machine, you treat them as such. 40 hr weeks, go home, and DGAF.

Patients dieing because people don't work 80hr weeks? Why are you working for such a shit management team? That's management's problem. Don't like it? Quit. Really don't like it? Name and shame.

It's unfortunate we live in a day and age that kind of thinking is necissary but it is. Burnout in the middle of a pandemic can get you killed.

We had our computers go down for ~12 hours one day. Paper charts came out, which was a massive undertaking. I could not imagine my system being down for 5 weeks.
