Swedish reviews

The pay is NOT competitive and the annual increases do NOT reflect that your work is valued despite being told in your performance review that you do wonderful work and that management is happy to have you on the team. There is no opportunity in the therapy department for professional advancement. You are either a therapist or in management. Without a path to grow professionally, the long-term path looks uninspiring punctuated by a flat salary. This may explain the high turnover in our department not to mention the high turnover in the nursing departments. There is a sense of favoritism in our department between management and certain therapists. Also there is no way other than the satisfaction survey to really give input about manager performance. There was one opportunity to give a peer review of my supervisor, but it was not anonymous. The management team seems to be a clique of sorts and I feel any professional critique would be shared with the writer attributed. Morale is low especially after recent performance reviews. Many therapists are now keeping their eyes open for employment opportunities elsewhere. Low salary is the key driver for this.

The strategy of belittling employees and intimidating us with our attendance record when we are sick as a way to make us not go home? That should be illegal. The amount of people I infected and then later treated (and lied to explaining I had no idea why they were sick!) makes me sick to my stomach.
