>That day, they provided the details of their offers to ThedaCare management and requested a counteroffer. They received no response until December 28, when they were told by Interim Director of Cardiovascular Service Line Ron Schumaker that ThedaCare would not be making any counteroffer. As he put it, the short term expense of retaining the radiology technologists was not worth the long term expense, because if ThedaCare paid to keep these employees, it would have to offer raises to everyone.
So they literally made the decision to not try to keep their staff because of $. Then made the decision to spend money in the lawsuit. But they also spent money going to the media which backfired on them. Afterall, everyone can see they were lying.
Management clearly not performing to satisfactory levels.
Now the cat is out of the bag, they will have spent a fortune on litigation, PR, and recruitment only to have to offer raises to anyone anyway. Whether they like it or not, they're on the record for not paying their staff enough and they'll surely be faced with more counter-offer situations.
'Penny-wise and pound-foolish' doesn't really carry the gravitas required to express the true enormity of leadership's stupidity on this one.

Very true. Mind you, this is the metric for Executive performance.
A nurse's metrics on performance would be treating and helping patients right. This is how the executives are measured. They are 100% certainly going to flamingly fail here.
Does it matter though? I imagine nobody knows the name of the CXO or the board members. They could simply rename thedacare to Meta or something, right?
I don't see how there is any justice here unless the CEO and the board go to prison.
