I had the most seniority on my Team, but was increasingly given last preference for scheduled time off, even with asking for summer or holiday time off months in advance. When I resigned I had finally just had enough of being given a greater distance to travel daily, then having to come home at night to complete documentation for another 3-4hrs. I went to work sick & finally left the company with 173hrs of sick time on the books which I was told I could not use or cash out so they were just forfeited. When calling out sick, we were interrogated about the reason for the sick call & asked to make up the sick day by working on the weekend, or next scheduled day off. I worked in the Home Care Division 9 yrs.

The situation at this company is quite possibly unsalvageable, unless they have the foresigh. Entire departments have been decimated and no-one wants to walk into that, or stick around for worsening torture. It's likely too late to reverse course on this implosion. Highly competent professionals are seeing the writing on the wall, they are tired of the abuse, have no more trust in leadership, and are leaving in droves to pursue other opportunities. When employees aren't voluntarily running for the exits, Steward is forcing them out with threats of demotion or termination and completely unreasonable performance expectations. Turnover is incredibly high, and for excellent reason. They don't have faith in decisions of upper leadership, let alone faith that leadership actually cares about patients. In department after department, state after state, the story is the same - Steward employees feel micromanaged, bullied, overworked, their experience disregarded. With management choices this poor, the only logical explanation can be that this is intentional corporate suicide.īut it's not just Health Choice. Some days, I seriously wonder if their goal is actually to self-destruct. This seems to be leading to the rapid demise of the Health Choice (the health plan they acquired). They are convinced that they know the best way to run a health plan despite that fact that they've never run a health plan.

Steward seems to be run by a bunch of intellectually arrogant bullies.
