Nothing

[Anonymous]

Nice to see that people are finally speaking out about the chain to the top..Every location that I know of is working so short staffed that there is no way they can keep up. Everyone is gettin burnt out, yet the RM and above do not care. The demands for the the locations without enough staff is horrendous. It is totally impossible to do what is asked of them..There used to be smooth running locations that delivered quality care until the upper levels had to get involved. If they would only get their feet dirty for two weeks in a location and work side by side with the understaffed locations they would see. You can not drop in for an hour an take a look around and throw out their scenerios of how they would handle something. Their blinders need to come off, the grids and reports and demands need to be lessened. What happened to the huge banners that were sent out to all locations."We care about patient care". There were hand outs by the hundreds with that statement given out.
What happened to this company? All it is now is a numbers company and if you dont meet those numbers you had better plan on the dreaded threats and write ups. Oh yes Renee, you can pretend how you care, but the people who really know you, can see through that goody two shoes smile and annoying voice.

Yes the fear factor is great because of the constant write up threats...If you dont do this you have 3-4 write ups then you are out the door..HOWEVER it only applies to certain indivuals. Renee has her chosen few that if the goals werent acheived, the write ups never came or if they did they were swept under that nasty carpet where other threats with this company lay.

And how funny some only get enough to bring them back in line....and then the "year" starts over with new threats and etc with new write up's happening and the circle of life aka write up's start all over again.

I hope someone that she goes after calls their bluff up the line one of these days. But i am sure then that AM would be out the door so fast, for sure

THIS IS ALL ABOUT A PISS POOR COMPANY WITH BAD MANAGEMENT THAT IS JUST BARELY SURVIVING, AND DOING SO ONLY BECAUSE OF IT'S SIZE. ANY MOM @ POP OR REGIONAL COMPANY RUN LIKE THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD OFF OR BANKRUPTED LONG AGO.
I DONT CARE WHAT THE STOCK PRICE IS AT THE MOMENT. IT IS ALL BEING MANIPULATED.

You are right this is a poorly managed company with very low morale, however most employees have no where else to go, so they will continue to earn their meager salary, while those at upper level gets richer.

To the other poster, I never thought about how many do overs some get to do, or how often the calendar year can change to the convience of eveyone..Nothing ceases to amaze me.

It is true on why most stay and try to make sense of everything in their mind so they can hope to go in and put in a good day for the patient's. It just does not get done that often due to the unreasonable demands from up the ladder that come on down and even some of the LCM's think they are above it all.

Plus, in some areas it is difficult because some in the location's even get better treatment than others. PST's (not all) are running so many personal errands during the day while the office staff have to tell the patient's over and over....they are out doing their run and etc. It is really poor management. Breaks down morale even further too.

One employee in a location was the designated bathroom cleaner...for both sexes. No one else had to do it. Why did they do it ??? b/c they were told they either do it or get written up and knowing that they couldn't go without a job...they kept doing it and after a year ...said enough....and the next time it was time to clean them...they stood up for themselves and said no! No write up happened...a bunch of ugly words were said to them and the silent treatment and other nasty stuff happened. all of a sudden the LCM was tearing apart everything this person did and was vocal to others about it.

The threat of being written up for something so little is nuts and shows another sign of a bad manager and what hurts this company

Sort of like the contest and the changing stuff midstream. how can they be a contest with the threat of being written up if you dont get an entry? how is that a contest? contest are voluntary.

You are so right...the contest rules change to fit the situation...have you ever seen a person that voluntarily enters a contest be written up.... look at the runner that can only make 3 miles out of the 10 mile run.....Picture some one on the sideline standing there with a clipboard, pointing a finger with pen in hand, filling out a form, then while you are struggling to breath you have to sign a paper saying I cant make the 10 miles.....however you can not say whether you want to play this silly game, you didn't fill out an entry form..BUT you will be written up for no entry..Who filled out the paper to be entered? Not I..But refuse to sign that paper, what an uproar that causes..Then you are written up, turned into HR because you refused to sign..It doesnt stop. Now it starts the process to get rid of you (only if you are the one that the rules arent changed for)..

Just another in another high paying position starts these silly games.. I think we have an entertainment committee. At 3:00 Bingo will start in the North hall..In June we will have a nebulizer contest........

Do away with the CLUB winners, spread that money around, half a million dollars every quarter, given away, not to mention all the free trips, motels, food etc.. STOP the insanity, pay the people that do the work, build the morale, treat the people as you would want to be treated, then and only then will you start to see some RESPECT.

Here ! Here! Good points.....They should also have a "tiered" system for paying the LCM's. The one's that rule by threats & write up's clearly have no clue on how to run a location. THEY should be written up for not being able to meet the demands of their basic job description. With the bulk of the stores being low in staff, there is no reason why an LCM can not pick up the phone if the other lone employee is already on with a customer or whomever. Instead they yell out that there goes the 4th ring and why didn't the person get it. I can write you up for that!

I wonder if some areas of Rotech CAN stop the insanity? It will take more than one person to start making a stand. With the low morale and fear factor going on, it's going to be hard for others to come stand beside the lone person and "fight" for fear of losing their job. A job that most likely is the only one available in their area. Or they would be gone. No one wants to continue going into such a place daily willingly.

Seems like the only thing they do understand is..... wash, rinse and repeat.

Which equals... threaten, write up and harass the one who stands up

I know of someone who is in the middle of what you talk about. They too will be gone shortly.

Not because they are not doing their job, it's because they are speaking up. Let's face it, like you, they enjoy the job itself. It's the other stuff that get's in the way.

We are not talking little issues that most jobs have. We are talking about the way people are shunned by their co-workers for speaking up for patient's let alone themselves. And if the co-workers do not fall in line ..they are the next target. It's an evil circle but fear really rules.

It's the low morale and lack of proper managers that are bad. We all don't mind working, it's the work place conditions that make it difficult to work at Rotech.

I was told that I wasnt targeted by HR but...they mistakenly put a list of targeted employees in my"packet". Very interesting hmmmm.....A few other interesting factors came into play..So yes if they want you gone, and you are a thorn in their side, they pull the trigger.

Without stating TMI - to keep it anonymous for you.... what packet (release from job?) and what interesting facts are you talking about?

 

[Anonymous]

I'm lovin it! As an lcm that is always being insulted on this board for destroying my location due to my hatred of men, it's refreshing to hear other managers taking some heat. As you can see.....the crap overfloweth from the top down in this organization. No one in management is immune.

Bite on the list ???? You are the one who brought it up....we all were just wondering what type of basic info it was or wasn't.

Say...this is the type of actions they are looking for to get you on the list and stuff like that. NOT so much TMI that you would be found out.

Most are just curious...not that they want every little detail.

I heard it was very attainable to make 35 points , even a average sales rep makes that.?

Anyone who can advice a bit I would greatly appreciate it
