As a longtime employee of KD/KH and as an upper level RN I have personally witnessed racial profiling and harassment. The high levels of harassment and hostile work environment exist at every level. I have personally been affected by the Mafia, Gang mentality of management and directors. This is a widespread problem/issue at KH. Not all managers and directors at KH are like this, there are some good ones. But, the majority IMO are of the same mean, bullying, targeting variety. There are a lot of staff at KH who really care about their patients and strive to provide the best care they possibly give. Enough is enough.

Why dont the people of Visalia vote out the idoits on the board and clean sweep the C suite? I no longer live there but as a nurse am repulsed at what I have witnessed.

In reply to Concerned community.

You couldn’t be more accurate in your depiction of the toxic culture perpetuated by Senior Leadership (Directors, CEO, and Governing Board). Shameful salary of a CEO in one of the poorest per-capita-income counties in California.
The Board needs to clean house from the top down, including HR leadership.

Not surprising for a small conservative “Mayberry town” founded on local “Good ol’ Boy” culture. I’ve been a resident here for many years and have only heard countless horror stories from employees and ex-employees. I have not met one single person that will say anything positive about this hospital. They seem to function at a level that is 60 years behind and foster hostile work environments (managers, directors and administration). Raleen L. based on the countless lawsuits I’ve read, they should consider removing you from your position since you perpetuate this backwards culture that is a liability and financial loss for the hospital and the community. KH should strive for transparency, increase employee satisfaction and morale. The community is aware. Herbst you can change the name 100 times, use Facebook and Instagram to mask the deficiencies at KH but it doesn’t change the fact that everyone knows, especially your 2022 salary of $1,087,069.00 a year.

It takes great courage to speak up and thank you for Ms ROBINSON for creating this space for us to share our experience as former employees.
Chris and Frances: What you said about getting no support from management is pretty accurate. I feel like as an employee, there’s no place to complain b/c mgmt and HR never is supportive because they don’t want to deal with problem(s). the hospital is just a very toxic and unhealthy environment.

She drank the “cool aid” and wears rose colored glasses.

It is well known among long-term staff who know the “culture” at KD; that “underground” unlawful employment practices are prevalent there. Senior Leadership will target, and seek to find ways to cause separation (i.e. Fire or pressure someone to resign) those they consider are “problem” employees (i.e. anyone who complains. or brings legitimate concerns that leadership does not want to acknowledge).

I have no doubt that this lady has an admissible complaint/s based on what I have seen happen to others over the years. HR is also complicit in some of these situations; HR VP works hard to keep things underground.

They have also violated several labor laws that include WAGE THEFT. They use threat, bullying, and shunning to abuse, coerce, and “discipline” employees to hide their dirty deeds.
