 Quote From: kastka Has anyone dealt with a boss that is truly evil? My current boss went to the hospital a few weeks where my step-father had been admitted for heart failure - she lied to the ICU staff and said she was family. Her boss is now taking her side because she said she went as a friend so apparently it's okay if a friend goes into the hospital and lies about being your family member. I'm being made out to be the bad person in this because we went a few times I count the number of times on my hand in the past two years. She told her boss that she was best friend and close friends with my Mom and step-father because she met them at a Christmas Open House my husband and I had in 2005. She's not my friend never has been. My two years in this position she lets me know weekly that she's the boss, her way of getting things done by people is to yell at them and humilate them. She feels it's okay for her to make fun of the two of us in the office i.e. your face is broken out, you need to lose weight, you need a new wardrobe etc... I was also told on a regular basis that if I didn't end after work social functions I could get fired from my job. She also informed not just me but the other staff member that if we ever went to the Union or her boss about anything she would win and the department would hate us and we would be forced out the door. She is evil and twisted if you ask me and yes I went to the Union about the hospital issue and I'm told I have no choice but to go back to work with this person and I flat out refuse. How come people like this never ever get fired? Yes I know they cover their butts and everyone believes them like in my situation apparently she my best friend - with friends like her who needs enemies? 2007 has started off very badly not just for me but for my family as well. My former evil boss was a Director of the business office for a managed care medical group. She is 60 years old, and doesn't seem to remember something called Medical Confidentiality. In the healthcare industry, you can't seem to hear enough about HIPPA (medical privacy act), but this boss chose to ignore all rules and regulations about medical privacy.
During the three and a half years I was employed, each time I had a medical ailment come up, she breached my medical confidentiality by telling the entire department my medical business at department meetings. Last year, I was scheduled to have an outpatient surgery. The day before my surgery, my evil boss gathered the department around me and began singing "Happy Surgery to you" in the tune of "Happy Birthday". She then told everyone what type of surgery I was having.
Later on, I had to have a cyst removed from my upper, inner thigh. I was having the procedure done in the Surgery Department at the medical group. My evil boss walked in, like she owned the place, and stayed to observe the procedure without my permission. I was not dressed, and my private parts were exposed. I was humiliated.
I decided to have gastric bypass surgery to get my weight under control. My evil boss told everyone in the department and this ignited a huge debate. Some people in the department didn't feel I should have it, and people were approaching me to discuss my medical business. What happened to medical confidentiality? When you work in any healthcare facility, you are under an obligation to maintain medical confidentiality when you happen to hear or see something of someone that you know. You do not have the right to tell others. My evil boss has worked in the industry long enough to know this. Medical confidentiality laws have been around for a long, long time. I filed a complaint with the Director of Medical Records, who is in charge of enforcing HIPPA compliance. But my complaint has been shoved under the rug and ignored. It is like all the Directors are sleeping in the same bed and protecting each other. |
