Lincare is in total disarray right now. In my 5+ years with the company I haven't seen morale so low.
So hourly employees will see wage freezes effective June 1st. Yearly "merit" increases have always been laughable. These increases for all employees have typically been 3% across the board no matter how well or how poorly the employee has performed in the prior year. So my question is what incentives does an employee have if they will receive this wage increase no matter what? Make it a true annual review with wage increases bases on performance!!!
Overtime must now be approved by management. Our CSRs and service reps are so understaffed and overworked as it is. I guess they will just have to prioritize what gets done and what doesn't from now on...
Profit sharing is all but eliminated with thresholds being set so high. Our center has the highest EBITA % in our area and employees still don't receive profit.
All of this has resulted in horrible morale, decreased productivity, and decreased patient care/service. Good luck getting return calls and/or emails from other centers, RBCO, o2 conversion, etc.
It is very disheartening to see the lack of progress by the Kristin. Sure technology has taken a step forward & have definitely made progress to creating a safer work environment. But besides acquisitions, management has taken no steps towards growing our business. Keeping the same ineffective managers/executives in place will NOT ensure growth!
Ineffective current management only knows how to manage by intimidation and threats. Leaders lead by example. We have far too many bosses and two few effective leaders at Lincare. Good employees continue to flee Lincare at a staggering rate. What will be left??
The ship is sinking....
