I recently came across some alarming statistics regarding HCA's staffing situation. As of November 4, 2026, they have 18,041 open positions, including 31 chief executive roles. It's concerning to think that these numbers only reflect posted vacancies and do not include roles filled by interim staff. With an average salary of $80,000, this translates to a staggering potential annual savings of over $1.4 billion, and nearly $2 billion when factoring in benefits. This raises questions about whether HCA is intentionally keeping these positions vacant to save costs. Additionally, I learned that there have been recent layoffs affecting AP staff, but the numbers were reportedly below the threshold that requires notification to the labor department. It feels like there's a trend of outsourcing services offshore that isn't being questioned enough. I'm curious to hear others' thoughts on this situation and if anyone has more information about potential upcoming layoffs.
