I think it's even more glaring that upper management is trying to push Robby out.
By implementing someone for three months but oking massive changes? They didn't call him for a meeting to discuss it, but rather they sent him a package saying "this is what we are doing."
Baran herself might wish to discuss with Robby, but upper absolutely does not. And i suspect by going over him they're actively hoping he doesn't come back after the three months. Or if he does, he will be so angry over changes he will quit.
But the thing is Robby is NOT incompetent at his job. There is a reason he was hired to be chief attending.
But he's also vocal, which presents a problem. It's easier to hire someone outside, who isn't as familiar with the system, who won't push back as much because they haven't realized upper won't bat for them yet either.
It is not uncommon for minorities (specifically women and POC) to be hired after white men and are championed as "the big fix" to an already failing company, because then if they also can't fix the broken system then they ALSO get blamed. Rinse repeat.
Robby has also been in the position for 5 years, and has tenure. 20 years roughly of ED attending experience. Which mean's he's the highest paid staff on the floor. By removing Robby they actually save costs because they will pay Baran extremely less.
