Cancer Center Corruption - Anonymous employee UCLA Health Employee Review

(This site won’t let me type names so I have to describe them only). While not everyone in the cancer center is devious, it must be said that I experienced favoritism and bias that created a setup to get rid of me. I observed and concluded that if I were ivory-complexioned or dishonst like the people who sabotaged me, I wouldn’t have been mistreated. Just because I found out that the guy JH who handled study approvals before me didn’t send one out for a whole year before my time, there were some events that started to transpire in retaliation of my discovery. When I had to create a new plan that the supervisor MB approved, all of the sudden shortly down the road the same supervisor started gaslighting me, listening to this lady she called her mentor making up lies about how when she joined the board and needed to ask me questions about to review and analyze something, I responded rudely. That’s a lie because I don’t pounce on people, especially when the woman never provoked me. It was a simple question. But because I was uncovering serious oversights from ivory-skinned counterparts, like the guy who sat on the year-old study approval, that’s where the lie came from. I was told that usually when the same guy made all kinds of errors, it’s like he could do no wrong and obviously it’s true he gets no consequence because evidently he was kept around like he’s as blameless as the driven snow. I also recall that during a teleconference with informatics where we were consulting them about building some tool for a purpose I can’t recall (which is fine since some things I’ll still respect confidentiality), I mentioned something relevant to the new plan I made and the supervisor MB at the time interrupted me saying, “no we’re not doing that anymore”. This was a facet that not only was already formally approved but i know for a fact that her “not doing that” is illegal. The circumstance was of such where since she refused to do “that”, it would be a negative trickle-down effect for an offsite team and then trickle up to us for serious negligence all because she didn’t want to “do that anymore”. I had to hold my tongue during this call and not give in to the culminating provocation, so I delicately asked what happened and found out that all of the sudden the night before this teleconference, she jumped out of bed in the middle of the night and rewrote everything I originally wrote so she could get the credit. When she sent me and a couple of other people the sporadic draft to edit, I discovered that she paraphrased what I wrote and then described the review process prior to that. Now she could have told me before the call that she did this and communicate what changes she made, but because she wanted me to look like a fool, she never said a word to me and I heard she’s notorious for springing stuff on people past the last minute. So is guy JH responsible for study approval/meeting coordination before I took on his duties. I would have understood if she contacted me and said “this plan you did is good, now let’s also add this part of the review process since I just added this new small review committee”. That would be no problem because that part is important too, now that the meat of new procedures was sorted out and done. But to gaslight me, she purposely said nothing. These actions gave rise to the worst and most disgusting instance of sabotage. Part of my responsibilities were organizing meeting submissions, which is what the aforementioned guy was previously responsible for. I didn’t tamper with any of the study team submissions, never altered what they sent me even if there was a blank page. Yet when the day of the meeting came and one of the committee members DE was on hand to present his item, 2 minutes into his monologue he says he was missing page 5 and with a wry smile looks from the chairman to me. I always distributed the items ahead of time and in completion, so he knew he had more than enough time to tell me if something was missing and once I resent the original file, I would have gotten to the bottom of what happened because I knew someone who had access to the universal drive defiled my files. Anyone who knows how pdf files work knows it takes a few steps to remove a page, so a “missing” page was no accident. The committee member was so tactless to blame me in front of everybody and again I had to control myself within because I was so indignant, and I politely asserted that I sent everything complete and I don’t miss things like that. Honestly, after that exchange I had to get up and leave the room briefly because I knew the culprit was someone within the immediate team I worked with and could have been sitting in that room shiftily staring around watching someone try to make me the scapegoat. After a couple of moments I got myself together and resolved to start fresh and be somewhat optimistic and after the meeting concluded, I quietly spoke to the member and told him I’d send him the other page after the meeting. Yet his indecency at the meeting led to some people treating me cold, including the chairman who was ignoring me when I sent him decision letters to approve before I sent them out. It wasn’t my idea for him to start looking at the correspondence; the female supervisor suddenly handed that task to him a few months prior, but he ignored my emails and my phone calls to remind him about them, since there’s a deadline to distribute them. When the guy who handled meetings before me made all types of errors from here to Kalamazoo, he SV never treated the guy bad, but when it came to me he kept pointing out small typos, sometimes there wasn’t even anything wrong. But he’d have a note of annoyance with me and shortly after that display of sabotage, he was palpably cold and finally gave the approval at the 11th hour. Sometime after these events the female supervisor and the guy who recently became my direct report called me into her office and claimed it’s not working out. Imagine their gaslighting and I’m the one with the load of “mistakes”, and being treated like a leprous pariah on account of other people’s treachery. Just because I’m not ivory-skinned yet accomplished a lot and had a lot of good ideas and innovations, it was easier to retaliate against me for seeing when things are wrong and standing up for myself. I recall one of immediate people I worked with told me during a group meeting called by the main sup., “some of us here at ucla smile in your (said generally) face but talk crap behind your back, that’s kind of how we do things”, then he laughed and the others nodded. He was right.
