Beacon Community Services is reported to be a Non Profit organization, which would be nice, if it was true. Sure, under today’s bullshit regulations, they can claim to be that, but how does a tiny outfit suddenly rise to become the dominant force in the Community Health for Vancouver Island, if there isn’t money being made?
Then too, what business can exist without making some profit? How else can they expand, if they aren’t tuned to the bottom line and having a surplus left over after expenses?
There is an old adage, of FOLLOW THE MONEY.
By doing that, one can usually find the culprits who are in charge, but it also helps figure out some other issues. Such as why do Beacon Schedulers mess around with the schedules so much?
They claim it is due to illness, workers booking off sick, etc. but FOLLOW THE MONEY, and you can get a different perspective.
For example, if you have a small group of SENIOR workers, who are paid the maximum (or near it) on the wage scale, and they are UNION, your ability to fire them, replace them, is difficult. HOWEVER if you mess with their schedules, making it hard for them to do their job, some might get fed up enough, to simply QUIT.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
IF you have Seniority, you can easily work anywhere, or are comfortable enough to just simply retire, why would you put up with the uncertainty of the job? Why would you continue to be shunted all over the place, instead of maintaining a regular client base? Then too, if you do decide leave, have a regular client base, you could go out on your own, freelance, so to speak.
By messing with your schedule, your clients are put off, making it harder to secure freelance work, should you decide to quit the corporate roller coaster. It isn’t like they (Beacon Community Services) are telling the clients the truth about why you suddenly didn’t show up. IT would also explain the switches in times, the lack of notice to Patients, among other things.
Business is about making money. The less SENIOR STAFF it has to deal with, the more PROFITS it can make. That is simply economics. Whether you are NON PROFIT or NOT, the more income you can generate, the more you can pocket. It really is that simple, and we all know the excesses that so called NON PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS are known to excel at.
