Well, now we have a new name in the game or rather in the web of the mendacity of SRHS… Lena Crain. Hmmm.. Now sit back folks while I give you a tidbit of another side story in this tangled web of deception, greed, unethical practices and more of SRHS.
Lena Crain moved up very quickly through the ranks at SRHS too just like our favorite GoGo Dancer. She started out clerking, then worked her way into HR. Lena Crain developed a program called People Development. It was a nice idea on paper, and she was able to sell it to the Eskimo Ice Salesman himself, Chris Anderson.
Within months of People Development taking off, Lena Crain decided the Lord had called her and her husband to become missionaries in Alaska. So, Nebo Carter, being the most excellent Chief Human Resources Officer and Pretty-boy Chris Anderson, the ever so smart and conniving CEO, allowed Lena to go to Alaska. What is so wrong with this you ask?
Lena was in Alaska working as a missionary, BUT at the same time, was still on the SRHS payroll as a FULL TIME, yes, FULL-TIME employee!!!! They allowed her to “work remotely” and gave her a made-up job title and she was responsible for making sure all of the year-end evaluations were done correctly and on time and that career plans and goals were met, etc. Lena was paid as she and her husband drove from Mississippi to Alaska pulling their U-Haul. She was even paid to go to a workshop in Washington State while in Alaska working as a full-time employee. Lena was even promoted, yes folks, she was promoted while working in Alaska!!!!
She came back to Mississippi and took up right where she left off, and now folks drumroll, please………… Lena Crain is the Director of Human Resources! Talk about the luck of the draw.
Now, there are many employees who are made to take a leave of absence to go back to school when they need to do internships or nursing practicums. But not Lena Crain.
Makes you wonder?! Was it her close relationship with the Chief Compliance Officer? Was it her very close relationship with Nebo Carter, CHRO? or did she know something on the Eskimo Ice Salesman, Chris? Perhaps it was a combination of the 3.
Regardless, there were several borderline ethical issues with SRHS allowing an employee to work that far from home and still be considered a full-time employee! Not a contract employee, but a regular full-time employee. If she was going there to do missionary work, then how did she have time to do a 40 hour a week job for SRHS at the same time? It was not that much work to do 40 hours a week when year-end evals are only done in the months of November and December.
Things that make you go mmmmmmm
All of this happened under the watchful eye of Chris Anderson, then CEO. Baptist I sure hope you are watching this sneaky salesman 24/7.
