As the employer, NL Health knows that and chose to exploit that feeling anyway.\u201d<\/p><p>\nBurnout is not a new issue in health care settings however, it has reached new heights during the CorCare roll out, which workers have reported as stressful, full of issues, and causing increased workloads.<\/p><p>\n\u201cThe phishing email specifically targeted the workers who put countless hours into the CorCare rollout. Vacation and leave were denied, family time was lost due to the overtime required. While NL Health\u2019s apology was appreciated, I am still unsure how such a massive lapse in judgement occurred in the first place. How does anyone, in good conscience, design a cybersecurity test for their own employees while knowing how much they missed for this new system?\u201d finished Hillier.<\/p><p>\n:so\/cope491<\/p><br\/> <b>Contacts<\/b> <br\/><p>\n<b>For more information, please contact:<\/b><br\/>Sherry Hillier\n<br\/>CUPE Newfoundland and Labrador President\n<br\/>709-765-2996\n<br\/>\n<br\/>Taylor Johnston\n<br\/>CUPE Atlantic Communications Representative\n<br\/><a  href=\"mailto:tjohnston@cupe.ca\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">tjohnston@cupe.ca<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ST.
