Comment on NHS management is a bullying, incompetent cult
HeartyBeast@kbin.social 1 year agoBut in this situation, it wasn't the managers who were challenged, in particular. From what I can see A group of doctors put in a complaint about Letby. Letby then played the system by putting in a bullying complaint that the system then had to investigate.
I have no doubt that these managers were incompetent and defensive - I suspect heads should roll. But the headline charge of 'bullying' seems a bit off. It's a weird story and I'm looking forward to the results of the enquiry

Absolutely, for me I think the link is the line "many bully to hide their incompetence ". The best managers accept that sometimes problems arise and mistakes happen (or in the worst case someone acts maliciously), and they take the short term aggro or reputational damage to improve the long term outcome. The bad managers are the exact opposite, they don’t want to deal with the short term problem and will actively bury it regardless of the long term risk to patients. I think that is what has happened here, and sadly often the next step (in my experience) is bullying those subversive elements.
