If emotional salary is another word for higher nurse:patient ratio I’m actually all for it and would treasure being able to slow down and both conserve more energy for myself and have more time to actually feel like I’m taking care of people instead of shoving pills in people’s faces and running on to the next one. That’s also a functional raise in that I’d be doing less overall work for the same pay.
But realistically that is also an increased expenditure for my boss same as paying me more and they’re actually talking about more tea carts and pizza parties.
“It’s more complex than the obvious huge part of the problem” should be the start of saying that the problem should be addressed and then we should also work on those other things too.
Like how both pay AND working environment need to be improved instead of choosing one over the other!

They may be threatening to unionize over low pay but I bet a pizza party will clear that right up.
