United States of America#2UPDATE EX-employee responds
Wed, February 09, 2011
I was a recent employee of United Blood Service of Arizona Donor Recruitment Department. In December of 2009, the entire managment team of Donor Recruitment in Arizona filed a hostile work environment complaint to local Human Resources Director about the Director of Recruitment in Arizona. Since that date and too date, there continue to be issues in this department. The Director was given a "Behavior Coach" in April of 2010 and this Behavior Coach bragged about the "cost" the company was paying her to "mentor" our Director. She continues to work with this coach one year later on a weekly basis. This coach told our team that the Director was one of the worst 5 cases she had ever worked with. The Director flat out was and is a bully period. She used intimidation tatics, reviews and corrective action (unjustly) to seek her vengence. Human Resourses did little to nothing to help and the Director of Operations for Arizona only interviewed the complaining employees once in April of 2010. Corporate HR got involved when anonomous complaints started being filed. This Corporate HR member was forwarned about one employee specificially still being targeted yet local HR did nothing again. Corporate HR went away just as fast as they came to ask specific questions about one of the managers. The Local HR department then stated that "all is well", which was far from the truth. UBS needs to look into Bullying HRGs and take Bullying more seriously. Then entire Donor Recruitment Department knew all about the allegations and therefore the fear runs through most employees under this Directors umbrella. Recruitment is the department responsible for bringing in the donors and selling the idea of being a donor which is something an employee should be proud of. But this Director brings a very dark could over UBS Arizona's department and everyone has chosen to put their head in the sand and look away. 30% of that team has either left or moved on to other departments. I feel for the employees who have been left behind and work in such a low morale and hostile environment.
