I got 1.5% pay raise this year. HCA's net income for 2011 was 2.5 billion. Boycott HCA!

Business Outlook

Pros

There are no advantages to working at a company that doesn't provide fair and adequate raises while they make unprecidented profits. Patient care suffers when caregivers are poorly compensated. Patients should steer clear of HCA hospitals. How can caregivers care for their patients correctly while they are unfairly compensated.

Cons

HCA shouldn't give employees with good evaluations 1.5% raises while their net income for 2011 is 2.5 billion. Customers need to boycott HCA until they compensate their employees at least up to the rate of inflation. Patient care will suffer if the company undercompensates the caregivers.
