Well I heard that at the Town Hall Meeting everything is sunshine and roses--so good in fact that Ducky & Co are going to pay out a bonus to employees. (Apparently they 'set aside' some funds from the 2008 budget for this--could it be the matching funds for 401K?) Bonuses are expected to be between $200 and $4000 dollars based on full or part-time status and number of quarters worked. They may have to 'break up' some payments. The first installment is to be doled out on Friday, March 13th (how auspicious!)
Most employees are skeptical. Will it really happen? 4K seems like a lot to dole out to that many full time employees....
And is this bonus because Essent finally cares about its employees or is it an effort to stem the flood of exiting staff?
There must have been some serious doubts in Essent's retention figures, possibly voiced by a comment a bit ago:
This makes sense when you put it in the context of what Christus tried, so many years back, but they labeled them retention bonuses. Now, that would be admitting to a problem. Hardly an Essent virtue.I don't know if it even matters anymore...... Several nurses that I have spoken with are just waiting for the temporary, transition-related hiring freeze at Greenville and the other new Baylor facilities to end, then adios!
