A manager disclosed confidential medical information in an email to our entire team about me. I reached out and notified her of the wrong doing & backed my statements with legal information. The only thing that was said as a result was , “oh my God, I’m sorry - I don’t know what I was thinking.” She often does things without thinking and is ridiculously unprofessional. She has been turned into HR several times in the past as well.
What would you do?

I’d probably report her to HR, honestly.

It sounds like this is a pattern and you cannot trust her to keep personal information private. As a manager, she should know how to do so.

You have proof of admittance of wrong doing. Get in touch with a lawyer and get that bag 😈

She shouldn't be a manager, period.

Our team often agrees with this statement.

1) Going forward, don’t tell her things you wouldn’t want the entire team to know since you know she will overshare.

2) Send the email chain to HR to let them know that she has done this.

3) Start looking for a new group within your company or if that isn’t possible a new job.

Check the handbook for the country/division you are working in. It should have the specific information on whistleblower helpline.

Just to check — the information wasn’t “Bob has COVID/FLU/cold/tummy ache,” right? Seen some people very offended by that and I don’t think that fight is going to go far…

No, but I appreciate you checking. (:

Forward the chain to HR

Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore? For us being in charge is having full assignment 3p-7p & being responsible for assigning pts , communicating w/ supervisor about various issues, making the assignment for next shift, and a mini report about each pt for the next charge. On the weekends, same responsibilities but 7a-7p. We don't get any additional pay for being in charge and I'm sick of the added responsibility and stress of it.
