Poor experience due to dysfunctional work environment, incompetent leadership, toxic culture - Anonymous employee Geisinger Employee Review

Observed and experienced the following: Favoritism; gaslighting; chronically low morale; vague objectives and undefined priorities; inconsistent expectations; poor or no accountability; insidious ambiguity; no strategic focus or goal integrity; fear-based leadership (bullying, defensiveness, inability to receive solicited and unsolicited constructive feedback, ideas, or solutions); manager triangulation and intentional siloing of individuals within teams. "Management/leadership is not a democracy" is common retort used to enforce arbitrary decisions/actions without explanation or reasoning, and to suppress questions and dissension. Improving employee engagement one of Geisinger's strategic priorities however in the 5+ years I was there, did not see Foundation leadership held accountable despite the obvious downward trajectory evidenced in annual/biannual engagement score data. Foundation leadership dismissed engagement survey as bogus behind closed doors and spent more time arguing the validity of results than looking at real problems. Suspect positions eliminated to manipulate employee retention data and budget.
