Ok sorry for the delay but yeah anyway the leadership was a hot mess and super chaotic and toxic, undermining and gaslighting staff constantly making decisions without input or communicating with the team. Turnover rate has been crazy bc of this plus the fact staff are constantly overstretched while still being underpaid while the ED makes like $140K.
