I can only speak about one who is no longer there. I couldn't stand her because the only time she spoke to us was when we were in trouble for something. There was NEVER any positive feedback from her. Having her as a manager has made me a better manager. I just think, "How would XXX do it?" and then do the total opposite. Examples: 1) When I decided to go back to school, I told her so that I could work out my schedule. She said, "It's going to take 2 years? Are you kidding? You'll never finish." I made a point to send her a graduation announcement when I graduated and I wrote, "Thanks for all of your encouragement!" on it. I thought it was funny. 2) She told the managers that they couldn't be friends with the non-managers because we were "peeons". 3) We had a dresscode that stated you couldn't wear sleeveless shirts. One lady worked in Transcription wore a sleeveless shirt under a jacket. She took her jacket off because it was always 85 degrees in the basement where we worked. This manager walked in and told her that she needed to put her jacket back on because of the code. When the transcriptionist went down the hall to use the bathroom, she saw this manager in her office with her jacket off with a sleeveless shirt. She went in her office and basically told her the same thing, and this manager said, "Well, I bought this shirt at Nordstroms." WTF??? What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? After I left, I heard that it got much worse. Several years later, she was fired. There was much rejoicing and singing, I've been told. I had to deal with managers in other departments, and they were always courteous and nice to everyone. I guess I just got the bad one.  Everyone has one terrible boss in their careers, and she was mine.

I am pretty sure most of you may know my position on this, if you recall my prior "Firemedic" posts. Before I make my statement, I should make it clear that there are some very good managers within the FMC family. With that said, there are also some very poor mangers within the hospital. My personal feelings are they are mostly on the administrative side, with a few exceptions. I think it is very "reflective" of the CEO's management style. I still believe they purposely pressure senior employees to get them to leave to make room for lower salaried new-hires. I believe the CEO does not monitor his managers as he should. That is why the entire EMS debacle occurred. The CEO finally did the right thing with EMS after the public pressure became enormous. Is he now paying attention to some of the major problems in other departments? I hope so. In many ways the CEO has done an outstanding job running the hospital, however his languid stance on policing his managers may leave him a negative legacy. When your career is over, it doesn't really matter how many pretty buildings you built. It is all about your interactions with your employees and the community. That will be your legacy. Whats the score now, Kurt? But then again what does my opinion matter, I am just a disgruntled ex-employee.

Myself, being an manager at Floyd think some managers are great and some need to find another job. There is one manager that comes to mind when I say this. It is ********* the manager of Material Management. I was walking behind her one day in the hall and overheard a conversation that she and a co-worker were having about another employee. Do you really think it is appropriate for a manager to discuss with other employees what their employees flaws are? The more I heard the more it got intense. They were talking very inappropriate and unprofessional. The thing that really starlted me was I never seen this gentleman before and he was very young so I knew was not a manger but he would say things and she would laugh so hard. I wish I would have been Kurt Stuenkel that day because she would have been out the door quick. I also noticed they have a high turn over rate for employees in that department. Everytime I go down there for diapers, forms, and etc. their is someone new working. Has this not raised a flag to Kurt or the Director of the department to find out why? Maybe they just don't care. I always stay in close relations with my employees to get their feedback on how they think things are going and take their advise. I think I have said enough but someone should really look into things down there and maybe give ******** some management tips.

When I worked at FMC several years back, the dept. manager was new too. She had been there only a couple of weeks after I was hired in. Me and the coworkers were amazed what little she knew. Being new, she was very cocky also. You know the type! Give them a desk and a title and it goes to their head.  She was caught several times (by us walking in her office) on the computer with IM on, talking to her b/f. She's no longer there. I can see why.

You name your worst & I'll name mine(JD). They were all pretty bad though.

I agree with you 100%. I worked in that department a couple years ago and she picked and chose her favorites. Once I transfered I found out that she talked badly about me to other employees the whole time I was there and if she likes you she likes you if not your screwed. This is the reason why she can't keep help. Kurt really needs to get involved and start asking questions around there and find out what really goes on. I know from experince how she is and had to get out quick. I frequently talk to employees in the department and they say when they try to talk to David about the situation he runs back and tells her or sends them to Christina to talk before giving them a chance to explain whats going on. All I can say is that I feel sorry for anybody that works for her. Last edited on Sun Jun 29th, 2008 11:25 pm by i understand |

Hey Cap'n, Yes JD was bad, but then again so was RR and TC was pretty bad too. The sad thing about all of that was there were some very qualified, experienced people that wanted the jobs and they refused them. The fact is, they kept people in those positions that they knew were not smart enough to figure out all the corruption that was going on. At least that's my humble opinion. There all gone now, they eventually got what they had coming to them. It's just really sad they destroyed the service in the process. A lot of really good people left on account of them. They have got Bud Owens at the helm now. I worked for Bud in Gordon County in the early and mid 90's. He is a pretty even-keeled guy and is a pretty effective manager. He was a good communicator and seems to be able to keep morale in check. From who I understand that they promoted, things should be improving there. But I am out of the loop again, so I really don't know. Big Don is a EMS Captain now, he has got to be near retirement age. I think they also made, Courtney Hice and Dan Trimble, Captains. I don't know if you know Dan, he was at Gordon when you were still around. His brother you probably know. He was a Supe at the Grady for several years. But Dan, he's salt of the earth people, there is no finer around than him and Court is a no-nonsense get er done kinda guy. Yep, they should be getting squared away now. Well, don't be such a stranger Cap'n. Were gonna have to get back on the FD again, I believe there have been some changes around there too, but those guys are pretty tight lipped. It's all about "Culture". Take Care

I had to join this discussion because I have strong feelings about the materials management department at Floyd. I too have heard the unfair things that the purchasing manager has had to say about her employees. I believe if a manager has a problem with an employee then he/she should only voice their opinions to that particular employee. I know that this manger in mm is not fair,polite,or understanding to her employees. I have walked into different conversations that employees were having about how unhappy they feel and have seen one person cry after getting a "lecture" from mm manager. These employees should not take this and forward their stories through the proper channels. I do feel for them.

There is one nurse manager on the forth floor who is to say the least hard to work for, she is so unfair to her employees, and they have a hard time keeping staff, kurt loves that type though as long as they are yes men. I know that there has been numerous complaints on her that seem to fall on deaf ears, go figure, same old same old at FMC things will not change until they start at the top and work their way down.

I once dated a girl that worked for that manager in the MM department. From everything that I have heard from people that work for her is that she very good at discriminating against employees that she is not "buddies" with. I graduated with a BS degree in management. My question is does she have any formal management training because everything that I have heard of this person is the total opposite of what was taught to me. Another question is the person that is over the MM manager not concerned with the problems within this department and the repercussions that could occur if this lady is allowed to continue to treat the employees in this manner. I have even heard of times when instances of sexual harassment have been brushed under the table by her because it was one of her golden boys. I hope this forum will raise the eye brows of the CEO.

I understand where your coming from. I know several people that have been the department for years and she will not give them a chance to advance in their career. She hires new people into that department and they advance in no time while the others are just stuck in their current job with no chance of advancement. I don't really understand why because the people that have been there for a while knows the supplies and the new ones are clueless. About a year ago they hired someone new with no medical background and ******* demoted an employee that had been there for 20 years doing that job so the new one could take over. That was really unfair. She needs to find herself a new job because she has no clue on how to be a good manager.

Yes, that new guy has been known to call her mama in front of a crowd of people. Do they have a secret fling going on or something? He has also been known to talk openly about his sexuality in front of everybody which makes everybody feel uncomfortable within the department but nobody seems to care. Please help the employees in mm. Last edited on Mon Jun 30th, 2008 03:28 am by i understand |
