Outside of the hospital hallways lies something the hospital industry should truly be terrified of. Administration is so toxic and so corrupt that it is impossible to believe the hospital is still running. The CEO Chris Durovich is truly despised among all employees. It is well-known he does not like children, young people and is extremely threatened by women. Among his senior leadership team there is constant gossip, fear mongering and lies that have infiltrated the hospital.
I worked in the marketing department at Children's. The Chief Marketing Officer has proven her worth by firing whoever the CEO doesn't like, by instilling fear throughout the department and by doing whatever she needs to do to get ahead with executive leadership. Her staff is full of incredible workers who do everything for her despite the horrendously toxic work environment. As for her, I did not see any actual work or valuable input in the two years since she's been there. She is rarely present among her staff and held a total of two staff meetings a year. In those two years she has fired or lost over 30 employees. Mind you - it's a department of 40.
She is also clearly threatened by millennials. Here is the thing - she and other senior leaders have taken the position of being puppets and yes men for the CEO and 90% of her office is millennials, who see no need to sit in that humiliating position to succeed in their career. She heavily resents that and creates malicious office gossip to assert her "power" over these millennials rather than working with and managing her team. There is always someone in line to be fired next. The department has lost some of the most incredible talent among her team. The entire department lives in constant fear of the next malicious move.
HR has been warned over three dozen times - especially of her inappropriate, highly unethical behavior - and nothing is done.
