Generic Hospice

When hospice reverts to the lowest common denominator and leaders obsess about metrics, it's time to speak. Self-inflated leaders assume clinicians give until their backs break, given no raises for years. A clinical ladder is a rainbow’s pot of gold. Others have a sorrier job and must be motivated by money. Abysmal leaders dangle extrinsic rewards for admission, hiring and EDBITA targets. “Sign on” bonuses entice people into a poor work environment. Employees’ voice equals their raise, zero.

HBO's John Oliver Torches McKinsey

Strange Tony,

Comedian John Oliver blasted McKinsey and Co., a giant consulting firm in a darkly comedic piece. It's well worth the watch.

McKinsey featured Kindred Healthcare on a podcast two weeks before CEO Ben Breier sold us down the river to financial rapscallions TPG and Welsh, Carson, Anderson and Stowe.

In January 2022 McKinsey mentioned Kindred at Home again in a Medicare segment, when Humana briefly owned 100% of the company.

It's not clear how many podcasts McKinsey does for non-clients, but our hospice owner made two of them.

John Oliver summed up our experience under financial rapscallion and Humana ownership.

Job loss and wage theft at the hospice level, major financial gains at the top. Thanks McKinsey....
