In this episode, I recount the harrowing experience of working under a toxic leader in a crumbling hospital where chaos reigned supreme. From a leader obsessed with micromanaging trivial details while ignoring glaring systemic failures—like literal brown water—to a workplace riddled with dysfunction, unethical management practices, and the erosion of basic human decency. This is a story about surviving toxicity, rediscovering freedom, and understanding that sometimes, the best decision you can make is to walk away.
Tune in for a raw and unfiltered look at the consequences of uninspired and destructive leadership.
