CUT THROAT CULT CULTURE-EMPLOYEES WORKED TO DEATH & TREATED LIKE LIFELESS MACHINES CORE VALUES ARE USED AGAINST EMPLOYEE - Staff Nurse (RN), Renal Dialysis DaVita Employee Review

HYPOCRITICAL CORE VALUES, MISSION STATEMENT IT IS ALL A FACADE Hypocrisy: behaving in a way that suggests one has higher standards or more noble beliefs than is the case. Hypocrites believe one thing, but do another. For being a healthcare business you are not considered a person you are a machine which must constantly produce with unrealistic workloads. Employees are overwhelmed with stress. Patient safety is compromised, your professional license is compromised. There is no pay scale, but there are title levels and if you increase your title level it does not increase your pay. They treat their patients and employees like CONVEYOR BELT WORK IN A FACTORY and are more concerned about productivity for maximum profits than patient care or their employees (aka Teammates). It's all about the numbers. Sad, but true, it really isn't about what's best for the patient...it's about doing anything that makes the "numbers" (lab values, access rates, catheter rates, selling patients to sign up for Davita Rx the pharmacy of Davita) look good. We are hounding and harassing patients every day instead of steadily teaching, exploring reasons for non-compliance and encouraging them. Point-of-care staff are constantly criticized. Can't do enough. High staff turnover. Too many responsibilities and not enough time to complete work and treat patients safely and accurately. Very cut throat culture, although they preach much different. The clinics are micromanaged, managers calls us all shift long asking how busy we are so someone can be sent home. Even when our workloads are unbearable, all management cares about is numbers. You would think patient satisfaction and safety should be a priority but it's not. Patient care is threatened in hundreds of ways on a daily basis because of staffing ratios and management decisions. Patients are dying, become mentally ill and are screaming for hours and nobody does anything to alleviate these poor people who are at the end of their life and are in need of pain relief and human interactions which the workload does not allow. Those who perform well are often rewarded with more work without any monetary increase and if you refuse they use the core values of the company against you. The typical raise is 2% per year if you have a good review and managers are instructed to give a mediocre review where almost if not all never see the 2% raises which is literally pennies. FUN means doing something on your day off with teammates if you don't it affects your review. You are essentially blackmailed. You have to follow their cult like Village culture or you are not a team player. You have to be a puppet and your manager pulls your strings till they break. IF YOU LIKE BEING EXPLOITED TILL YOU ARE PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY ILL BECOME ONE OF THE NURSES, TECHNICIANS, SOCIAL WORKERS OR DIETICIANS FOR DAVITA. Wait a minute, I forgot you are not allowed to become ill. You are a machine and not allowed to break down. If you do not come into work your work becomes every ones work this way the clinic saves money and because your ill you will get that taken out of PTO (paid time off) which should be time to get away from work. Instead they take half your PTO time(if you have it accrue, if not you just don't get paid) and then your sick days will pay which essentially means you are in a hospital probably having a body part removed in order to get your sick pay.
