staff nurse - Registered Nurse McLean Hospital Employee Review

Anti-union, actively seeking to thwart the direct care workers from organizing. The Human Resource Dept. is nothing more than an extension of Management in this institution. Staff nurses and mental health specialists are considered by many of the management to be expendable commodities. The pay continually claims to be "competitive", but is not, at least as it pertains to direct care staff. Some units are very top heavy with management. Upper management tends to support lower and middle management, despite overwhelming evidence to support extremely unjust and corrupt practices by many of the managers. Company places clinical people, who have no particular skills in management, and who they do not train in these areas, into management positions where they proceed to create chaos and ill will amongst the very people who are doing the bulk of direct care work. These managers are often oblivious to the detriment to the patients that this causes.
