Need some advice pls
work in the NHS, work culture is toxic, we have lost 2 people in two weeks due to supervisor and management not doing anything about bullying, it’s total chaos with everything, we’re in housekeeping, supervisor has no clue, and it has come to light this supervisor has been writing in a handover book to another supervisor about staff, slagging people off, when these people have been bending over backwards to cover shifts! It’s like a kick in the teeth! I think this said supervisor is not fit for the roll and has no idea to manage her staff.
its a whole A4 page of bitching, do you think we should go to HR about it?
Or tackle her straight about it, one staff member has also gave in her resignation today and called in sick due to mental health.

I had similar issues with an NHS job recently. It was truly awful and for the first time in my life I actually dreaded going to work.
I took the first opportunity I could to get out which was a temp agency job,because nothing was worth the grief on that level, and I haven't looked back. Some toxic work cultures are so embedded that sadly they can't be changed.

If you're supposed to be on annual leave this week why do you even know who called in sick today or what workplace drama has happened today?

There will also be a bullying and harassment policy about somewhere you can have a look at which will likely include steps that should be taken to support.
You might also want to get some general support from occupational health if it's causing stress or from an external support service (your ICB might provide wellbeing support, usually tells you on their website).

That's your takeaway from this?!
Have you heard of WhatsApp? Or the internet? People use them to communicate with each other. HTH.
