You have no idea about what Jody has done and the actual reasons for her termination. ALL will come out soon enough...

I do not know where you got your information but termination wasn't for cause. Did you see the termination paper work! No cause listed! None. Where is your anger coming from, how does this threaten you. Caution to you for committing slander and defamation of character . And whoever you got this information from is also at risk for slander and jeopardizes employee privacy. Jody shared her termination write up as well as her change in relationship form . Your anger surprises me and makes me wonder why.

Patric, get the facts straight. An organization depends on individuals. An organization takes care of its individuals. A CEO who fired the best employee and keep firing employees who don't agree with him eventually there will be no one left to work for him. You still don't know the facts but you believed him. Why?

Yes there are two sides to every story, but you have not presented your side. Why do have to attack her husband? You have not stated your point of view about Jody. I don't know what it is, so how can I agree or disagree until you state the facts. It must bother you, that so many people have good things to say about Jody. So present your case and if you have nothing to fear sign your name.

Helen, I just did... it is at 151. SOOOOOO sad that the "heart of hospice" only has 151 signatures. Mostly from her FB friends.

Yes organization can be more important than a single member, but the key word is team work. You can not have team work when you have mistrust of the team members. The team has been broken Once again I thank you and appreciate your willingness to seek information.

You are sooooooooo wrong, Helen. You are a train wreck. Here's an idea... get a new job and get a life instead of harassing your FORMER employer!!!!!!!!

Can you handle the truth? I actually have all the data and pathetic reason for firing Jody! Bottom line " I just can't work with you"! Really? How threatened are you? 19 years of perfect evaluations and now 14 weeks of someone who didnt even try! Sounds like someone so insecure and desperate for attention!

We all support the many excellent employees that brought the success story of YH. What I do not support is the new CEO who now terrorized employees who do not agree with him. Yes, I do want a review of the process of Jody termination. Yes, I can handle the truth and so is Jody. She wants the truth to be told. Do you, anonymous, can handle the truth? Or you already decided that the truth is what the CEO wants you to know? You want this petition to go away because it does not fit your belief? The petition will not tarnish the name of YH, the way employees are treated will. I am ashamed that it happened at YH, which I quit working 3 days ago after a shameful, humiliating board meeting. YH was the best place I had ever worked in my 27 years as a nurse. I love this organization because of its employees.

I and my family have been in this area for 75 years and Jody was our nurse and cared both for my mother and then years later my sister! In our eyes she became a trusted and beloved family member. She was able to get my mom out of pain within a day after she had sucf

i have made an annual donation to this organization for 11years solely on the experience we had with our nurse Jody Norton! Never again! You can not tell me that this woman ever did anything that deserved such poor treatment. Shame on Yolo Hospice. No contact please!

Willful blindness rules the day. I don't think the Board understands that this is not 'just' a personnel issue. It is an existential crisis. The Yolo Hospice that we all know and love is being destroyed. It is happening on their watch, and they don't seem to know or care.

My experience working with Jody for 10 years as a nurse at Yolo Hospice was extremely positive. She was always a bright spot in the day, so competent, caring, compassionate and forever advocating for patients, fellow staff and Yolo Hospice. Love you, Jody!

Jody has a loving heart and beautiful soul that represented YH of the mission statement and the core values. To receive an e- mail of her last day, felt like the heart and soul was ripped out of YH... you are truly missed xoxo

I don't know the story here, but I find it hard to imagine that losing Jody could be beneficial to Yolo Hospice. She is a gem and a bearer of much of the organization's history. I sincerely hope this decision will be carefully reconsidered.

I am a long time employee of Yolo Hospice, and have been a nurse for> 25 years. This type of nursing requires a very specialized form of nursing. It is a mix between expert symptom management, and extraordinary empathy and education. Craig just fired the one person who had both of those gifts. I have never been afraid to sign my name to anything at Yolo Hospice but after what happened to Jody it could happen to any one of us. Jody was happy to share her write up from Craig, which said she was a bully, that she yelled, slammed doors and swore" I have worked with her for over 10 years I have never ever seen that behavior. How can it be that we would treat a person within our agency like this. We are all terrified of this new so called leader. He just changed the nature of this agency in 5 minutes. I dare all of you who were a part of this decision to think what this must have felt like. You walk into room and within 5 minutes your career of 19 years of work and passion is gone. We do not treat our worst enemies like this. I have no respect for our leadership team, and hope we can correct this horrible decision.
