Toxic workplace filled with nepotism and jealousy - Anonymous employee AltaMed Employee Review

Certain departments are very toxic to deal with and work for. Managers and supervisors practice bully culture by managing down, intimidate, discriminate, and harassing staff they dislike or find threatening because of good performance. Office gossip and inappropriate relationships between managers and staff must stop. Department leadership provides little to no guidance, leadership, staff development and consistently fail to remove barriers to get work done. Work life balance is preached but not practiced. Nepotism and favoritism runs rampant as promotion is based on who you know rather than education, work experience, and professional qualification. Long tenured employees often mistreat and do not welcome new blood as they view them as potential threats affecting job security. HR knows fully well of ongoing bully culture, deceit and mistrust yet refuses to address internal problems; thereby losing star employees and qualified candidates at an alarming rate.
