Anyone disputed 2 rating and CAP successfully? Any tips?

Thoughts on the HCC town hall?

Who actually completes Internal Dispute Review??? How long does it usually take? What if the direct manager files one against a higher/senior manager? Senior manager adamantly pushed direct manger to change rating to 2. Direct manager DID NOT AGREE... — read more

Hi, If I file for it and it is not successful, would they terminate me right away? Would it sour the relationship? How does that work?

Manager is being catty and pushing for high quality work. Like I have to do 10 hours of work. Is it worth it? Or applying outside is the right decision? Anyone successfully exited CAP? How did you do that?

Looking for guidance as to whether or not you can be terminated without pay after turning in notice.

Anyone with experience successfully filing Internal Dispute Review (IDR) ?

That means you are over hiring. Outsourcing is not okay. If a company does these things they should be responsible and pay their employees they mislead a severance. How can management live with themselves. Shame on the people management who say quit!... — read more 

Does anyone else think the company is going away from acute therapy? Are further branch closures for infusion likely?

Yes, I’m grateful to still have a job, but that’s about the only thing I’m grateful for. The reality is, I’m overworked, underpaid, and surrounded by toxic people every single day. It’s exhausting. The more I think about it, the more it feels like... — read more 

I’m confused how leaders who are being told to use stack ranking (meaning some people will be assigned a 2 that aren’t actually a 2) for their year end review. I just feel like if that’s the case, everyone who has had that happen should go to HR and... — read more
