If you ask me, that is the lowest a person can get to pull an act like that. I’m sure the manager doing it was only doing what she was told, but can you imagine how that former employee felt and everyone else around her??? What’s wrong with waiting another couple hours or even the end of the day to let someone go? Does it really make that much difference???

They also thought they were saving money by letting people go but this trick is going to cost Dean even more money by the time the unemployed nurse and patient file lawsuits… I can see it coming now! Thank goodness I don’t have Deancare!

Job termination is even more “cold and impersonal” for state workers. Typically, the Capital Police will be notified and standing by when a state worker is terminated or furloughed (usually first thing in the morning). The former worker will be escorted out of the building by a police officer, and told to leave state property, and his or her personal items will be packed up in cardboard boxes by a supervisor or manager. The former employee will be called and told when they can drive by the building and pick up their personal property (after hours).
Big entity’s (such as Dean) do not appear to be any more kinder or gentler than state government:(
I have Dean also and have been happy with them. The supervisor was an idiot for doing that, she has no common sense. She should be fired, there are other more capable people who could do her job.
The problem isn’t unique to Dean, it is throughout all providers.

I’m happy with my insurance, I pay a copay and have never seen a bill except for when I went to the ER a few years ago due to dehydration….cost me $75 out of pocket.
Nonetheless, still a terrible way to handle a layoff.

Termination is like that all over, I remember years ago when I worked for Kraft the security guards were at your desk with HR and your manager and escorted you out of the building in front of everyone, your personal belongings would find their way to your home a few days later. Earlier this year quite a few were let go where I work and it was similiar situations, with the exception of the security guard. You were still given a box to pack up your stuff in a matter of minutes and escorted out of the building by HR. I’ve always thought this is a very cold way to terminate employment anywhere, but understand employers can’t give you notice you;re going to be done on Friday at noon (or whatever), I’m sure there are many out there that would do damage before they left..
I wasn’t knocking Dean either, just joking! Lighten up Francis!
