Business Outlook

Pros

None. The merger destroyed a competitive business options. The FTC has allowed a Monopoly to poorly serve our communities within 100mile range.

Cons

The forced "merger" is actually à hostile takeover by Mountains States. Forcing nursing staff to accept pay cuts , benefit losses by May 24th or be forced to leave. Many left. Also, the other method used by Managers is any excuse for writing warnings to "force a being terminated for cause" for higher paid workers near retirement " is also a tool to cut jobs and not worry about retirement pensions. They are providing hiring in fresh graduate nursing staff at lower pay and dumping the higher paid staff that have been their for 5 to 30years. Car Dealerships treat their well trained, long term staff much better. Your automobile is getting much better care than any patient at Ballad
