Hold on to your hats! - Anonymous employee Encompass Health Employee Review

There was a lot of politics in play. It was always about the numbers, and seldom about the patients. If Executive or upper level decided you weren't liked, it didn't matter how good you could be, it was a set up and then fired. I watched this happen more than once with co-workers. I watched Directors do things that were totally outside their scope - and not on their team. Seems that someone in the upper echelon was always sticking their nose where it didn't need to be on someone else's team. We were ALWAYS short staffed, no matter how many got hired, and that seemed strange to me. Maybe because the ones that got hired, weren't treated very well so they looked for work elsewhere. Over worked and stress is always so thick that even the patients and their families said they noticed it.
