Too many administrators and managers, many of whom are not qualified for their jobs. They've just been pushed up over the years and advanced to levels far beyond their capabilities. Of course this dead weight stays around, who else would hire them and pay them that much money? I used to do business with UMC. Their contracts and accounts payable departments are a total disaster. We would always give them our highest pricing schedules because of the headache and extra time that it took to deal with them. Your tax dollars at work...<br /><br />I hate to see anybody lose their job, but salaries there are out of control. Kingfish, I encourage you to try to get a copy of UMC's full budget including detailed salary information and publish it. I say "try to" because, though it is public information, they will make it difficult for you to see it and inconvenient (if not impossible) to get an electronic copy of it.

How difficult is it to land on absolute zero in turns of the accounting ledger? I heard that Baptist Hospital was organized as a 'research hospital' at one time. They probably qualified under the laws to get a stream of funding from a drug company who needed experimental leeway. At least they were creative. UMMC is both a charity and a research hospital. But more important-a teaching hospital. Now they are driving into another area--health care collaborative!?!

While there is always "dead weight" at an organization this size, I'm sure the vast majority of UMMC employees are dedicated and devoted to their patients and the students they are training. Let's not forget UMMC is responsible for training your soon-to-be family doctor/internist/surgeon/nurse/dentist/physical therapist/medical technologist in your hometown. As Mississippians, we should treasure and support this place when we can. What's happening now may certainly be administration's fault so I hope they took a pay cut like all the faculty did. Did they? Was the person(s) responsible for this lack of planning laid off like so many others? I don't support badmouthing UMMC but the public deserves answers. 8:43 a.m. mentioned the branding campaign...what was that? How much did that cost? Is it still going on? I've seen those Archie Manning billboards. Who paid for that? Has it generated enough support to make sense? Gosh I hope those administrators who have to find ways to conserve resources take a hard look at these things. Best of luck to those who lost jobs and to the staff left who must pick up any slack.
