TMH employee: remote workers forced to use PTO during cybersecurity incident

www.wctv.tv

On Wednesday, an employee who works for TMH remotely full-time reached out to WCTV about their situation. The employee, who asked to remain anonymous, said their team works in the IT department, but outside the scope of those working to address the current issue.

The worker said the team was directed not to log in to work last Friday. They have not been allowed to log in since.

According to a visual record provided to WCTV, TMH administration offered the remote team three choices: take paid time off, accept unpaid leave for Monday and Tuesday, or show up to the hospital to be assigned a task. The employee, who works out of the area, told WCTV that was an unfair choice.

“Every day, it’s like, ‘We don’t have an ETA yet. We don’t have an ETA yet,’ It’s just very... we’re in the dark we don’t know what’s going on,” they said. “We don’t know if it’s going on for a week, a month- we don’t really know. So it’s super frustrating from that perspective.”

It also means that a job can't be relied on. We are going to see people with 10 different jobs in their work careers now. It is vital to have multiple streams of income.

Certain jobs it’s mandated that you have to let the company know if you work an additional job, remote or not, due to conflicts of interest. It’s not as easy to say “have multiple streams of income” .

If you end up working for two competitors or adversarial companies, you get flagged and fired from both.. then what?

I'm not saying get a job in the same industry. It may not even be a job. You just need multiple streams of income. Whether through jobs, investment, etc. Look at what's happening. Employees discarded like used tissue.

Foul beyond belief

All these “Day in the life” vloggers were annoying. I hope this puts a stop to it going forward.

Nope. Now they are doing “day in the life after being laid off” vlogs

The mental illness and partisanship in this country is on full display in those comments. This is the first time I've seen people giddy at people losing jobs strictly over politics.

This thread is getting depressing and I still don’t think it’s fully started yet.

Question for those in the IT industry. Do you think the layoffs is a big restructuring strategy so companies will not be paying IT professionals these large salaries we hear about in the long run.
