- Witnessed multiple racist remarks and discrimination toward brown and Black caregivers by management. - Witnessed and intervened abuse by Project Search caregiver toward one of the young adults in the program. Not okay! - Personally experienced multiple incidents of ableism and disability discrimination. This ultimately was the cause of me leaving Community. - There is hostility between providers and nursing staff. Many medical providers refuse to support or respect nurse practitioners and refer to them as "midlevels." - There is no nursing clinical ladder to advance in position or pay as you grow in your expertise or complete formal education. Opportunities are given by association, not by merit. - Executive team lacks vision and consistency. Leadership style is chaotic and employs a new "leadership" fad seemingly every year (See me as a person, I2E2, A3 process planning, AEP, DiSC assessments, etc). Way too many resources sunk into these fads when leadership should be focused on the staffing crisis they've created. - HR sincerely does not understand or respect Millennial or Gen Z staff. This is reflected in their lower pay compared to the rest of the greater metro area and their lack of cultivating and retaining talent. - Zero retention efforts and no offboarding support. I carried insurance for my family and had to call or message HR for nearly two weeks to get the letter I needed for our insurance coverage to be transferred. I did not receive the letter until one week after my last day.
