All that money, job cuts, outsourcing, no raises, and $500 bonuses. I bet the execs got millions.
There’s a lot more than they are saying. 150 Ascension ERP associates were let go, Ascension Ministry Service Center let 30 employees go. Ascension Technologies has 500+ positions going to India. Will patient information be protected per HIPPA Requirements? Ascension received millions of dollars in Cares Act Funding, they let associates go, no pay out for PTO knowing the majority of associates were not able to take it due to COVID-19. Where are the mission values and standards that were set and lived by the Daughters and Sisters of Charity?

What group do you think will be next?
There are more that’s such a small number.
Funny how they wanted employees to keep quiet about the lay offs.
They have been strategic and this was seen in the works a year ago. To do that in the midst of a pandemic is cruel but a month behind on their schedule.
7 departments were affected and outsourced. I estimate 500-700 employees affected.
This comes from yet another semi annual lay offs with more to come by new year if not earlier.
Best to jump ship than be caught up with a failing system.
Liars!
Ascension is keeping the total number of impacted employees close to their chest but this article only covers the service desk folks. There are 205 additional people affected in the enterprise compute group so the true number is somewhere north of 500. Dirty birds!
Only a part of layoffs. Lots more affected.
