St Joseph’s Medical Center — Toxic and abusive environment - Cardiac Sonographer CommonSpirit Health Employee Review

Cutthroat, fear-based, backstabbing, quantity-over-quality of care culture, no support or onboarding or competency sign offs, just sink or swim. Management views you as a commodity to be squeezed for as much revenue as they can get out of you and not a human being. What you did for them yesterday doesn’t matter. The staff are overall very predatory and sense under-confidence like sharks with blood in the water and seize any opportunity to undermine eachother to management and rely on gossip in order to elevate themselves. This is only a reflection of the management from above them and the culture that is perpetuated hospital-wide. At least 1/4 of the department is violating HIPAA on a regular basis going into patient charts/images in which they played no role in their care whatsoever with management well aware for the purpose of ridiculing eachother’s work as if it is a sport. Bullying is a common practice here and plotting witch-hunts by management and their pets is a pastime here. Lots of gaslighting, power games, toxic positivity, narcissistic cult-like behavior. Classic symptoms of a toxic work culture. Union-busting captive audience meetings are forced on the department only to find out a month after the “mandatory meeting” the corporate HR guy giving us the lecture on why unions are bad and “working directly” with management is better got laid off with the major cuts in middle management was actually kind of funny and ironic. Who will hold our union-busting meetings now?
