Madison - A Dean Health System nurse was called out of surgery so a manager could tell her she was being laid off.

Dean Health says the surgery was minor and the patient wasn't affected, but the manager who summoned the nurse from surgery violated medical protocol.

Dean Health spokesman Paul Pitas says the incident happened at Dean's West Clinic in Madison last Wednesday or Thursday.

The Madison-based health care provider announced last week that it planned to "immediately" lay off 90 employees.

Pitas declined to name the employees involved or what type of surgery the nurse was attending when she was called away.

They weren't bullshitting when they said "immediately".

There's a bonus for the manager!

Wow that's insane. I understand the need to timely let somebody go; but that does sound all sorts of bizarre.

LOL, wow.

In other news: "A manager at Dean's West Clinic in Madison was fired after demonstrating poor decision making skills last Wednesday or Thursday. The clinic's administration hopes that the savings from the manager's salary may save two or three other qualified employees' jobs."

If there was any justice, this jackass would be laid off too

 

[racolvin]

Man that blows. I agree with Gooberlx2, lay off the manager as well, for poor skills

What's worse is the doctor they laid off that was in the middle of taking a shit when they pulled him out of the bathroom.
