The longer I've been gone the more I realize what a toxic environment it was - Anonymous employee Lee Health Employee Review

Management is atrocious. My supervisor and director were too pre-occupied with decorating the huddle board, like a Kindergarten teacher, with "process improvements," in order to make it SEEM like things were "improving." Their time would have been much better spent LISTENING to employees and VALUING employees. The clincher here is, every month, directors of other hospital areas would "round" in our department to give their opinions on how we should operate but they only went to the "huddle board" instead of actually walking around speaking to employees. The problem here though wasn't just my immediate supervisor and director but rather the culture that is being fostered at Lee Health from the top, down. The company has forgotten that employees also have lives outside of work, they have families, and life situations that occur outside of their control. They have forgotten their employees are HUMAN. No matter how short staffed my department was, or how hard we worked, there were always subtle hints that we were replaceable. The Lee Health/ employee relationship was one sided. In my time working there, I felt like I had signed a deal with a devil. They took anything they could from me; and in return I got a paycheck. No matter how much overtime I worked or shifts switched ; I RARELY got PTO approval because we were always understaffed.
