Empathy is a recurring theme throughout the orientation but you will be hard-pressed to find very much it in the actual work environment. What you will find (at least where I work) is a very short-staffed environment with extremely high turnover lacking in integrity and professionalism. Staff is burned out and more than a few are walking on eggshells. Management and some staff thrive on gossip and toxicity. Bragging took place about the letting go of a ton of staff in an already stretched-thin work-setting (with many remaining staff at their breaking point). "Leadership" is fear-based (You'll never get genuine buy-in that way.). Regardless of what they sold and continue to sell, worklife balance and collaboration do not exist here. There are a few kind and wonderful people (not coincidentally, they too, stated they are unhappy.). For a caring profession, there are some markedly uncaring people (Their behavior would be called narcissistic by more than a few objective people.).
