In what we consider a classic really bad boss move, a manager at Dean Health in Madison, Wisconsin called a nurse out of surgery…to lay her off. A spokesperson for Dean Health said the manager violated medical protocol. You think? Dean Health says the surgery was minor and the patient wasn’t affected. I’ll ask the question for all of us. If the surgery was minor, couldn’t the layoff wait until after the surgery was done? Dean Health announced on Wednesday that they were planning on “immediately” laying off 90 employees. I guess this manager took the announcement literally. I’ve seen it in my own experiences, managers who lack the common sense to think through a management directive and act appropriately, or who blindly, and unquestionably do whatever upper management tells them to do. To these individuals, we’d like to suggest a novel approach to management. It involves Thinking. It really works. No, really. You should try it. Source
