• High work stress due to inconsistent teamwork and coworkers not pulling their weight
• Concerns brought to management often go unaddressed, leading to ongoing issues
• Schedule changes without notice – Fridays became mandatory despite originally not being required
• Weekend expectations increased from the agreed 3 to 4 to 5 more than anticipated if you can not work Fridays which is a Weekday
• Very limited opportunities for growth and raises are minimal, annual, and not guaranteed
• Benefits are extremely expensive, making them difficult to afford
• Heavy micromanagement, creating a stressful and restrictive work environment
• Strict tardiness policy – being even one minute late counts as late, with no grace period despite California traffic
• Starting pay is low-balled, and negotiating higher pay is nearly impossible
• Have to have another job due to low pay and high benefits Also hard to maintain a second job due to scheduling rules and expectations
• Feels like working for the name (CHOC/Rady’s) rather than being valued, leading to feeling like just a number
• Lack of appreciation for the work employees do daily
• Ensure PTO is earned fairly — employees working 12-hour shifts should accrue PTO equivalent to those working 8-hour schedules, reflecting the longer work hours and workload.
• Show more flexibility and understanding to help reduce burnout, improve morale, and retain employees who genuinely care about their work.
• CHOC merged with Rady’s, and Rady’s employees are unionized — given that the organizations are now merged and operating together, CHOC employees should also have the opportunity to be unionized for fairness and equal employee protection
