That's My Girl

I don't understand Minnick either, she's the one that said she works alone...if she had worked with Webber from day 1, it would have solved a lot of problems

And Bailey just agreed to that. She should have said something. Minnick's solo action is bad for the work climate. Bailey should have asked her to stop that.

^but i think she couldn't, she probably thought she would not accept it and decided to let it go.

I know it's a storyline. And Bailey hadn't had one in awhile. But it's annoying one because you would think Bailey would be Team Richard over anyone except Meredith. I know she has to think about the hospital. But I don't think Minnick's theory helps it all that much. Sure it pushes the interns to get more experience earlier... But so far, the ones who have had the experience are the ones who have been around the OR and in surgeries the most. Stephanie who was practically second in command to Amelia. And Ben, who had that bad patient go wrong last year. But then he delivered baby Harriet...

To help the hospital. She should have said no to Minnick's order of going it alone. She should know the hospital is a like a family. And so close. And if Richard is pushed aside, then members will be upset...

Bailey shouldn't have been the one to go against Richard.

^maybe or Richard should have been more understanding! it goes both ways. I think she didn't handle it good but they both have been standing in their initial position and have been both stubborn lol!

Well Richard was basically pushed out. So he has a right to be upset, and especially how it was done. Bailey didn't come to him and tell him and cite why it needed to be done. She was afraid to go to him. He was pushed out of his job by his wife, and protege - the one who he backed for the job she has now...

He was told to buck up and that someone else was taking over his department, someone younger. And that his way of teaching was out with the dinosaurs...

The way it was done is something I totally disagree with Bailey on. He found out from someone else, and he had to go and ask if he still had a job. She was afraid to tell him.

So I don't see how Richard should have been more understanding. Yes we can debate whether it was good for the hospital or not, but he was basically pushed aside behind his back.

I agree. Maybe a change was good but the way it happened was bad. They should have told him first instead of pushing him away and putting Minnick on his place.

Jasper1975

All she had to do was go to him, get his input. Or at least cite why it had to be done. How it was done, was bad. Especially since it took awhile for him to even find out his wife was responsible. Bailey was clearly was afraid to tell him. Yes I know she didn't welcome the change, and it was basically pushed on her. But she took it, and ran with it. And didn't consult the board, or anyone else. And she expects the staff to take it without any issues...

Especially given how beloved Richard is. Especially with Meredith, and now with Maggie being his daughter. Most of the staff has been trained by Richard...

Yes the interns love this new plan, but the older tier of doctors were trained by Richard personally...

I think it was handled badly.. But then when dealing in with several maternity leaves or reduced work loads, they didn't do what should have been done with the storyline...

And Bailey was a part of it. She was more than a co-worker for him. They were like friends. When Minnick told her that she wanted to work alone without Webber, Bailey should have sided with Richard not with Minnick. Now she has him against her.

Jasper1975

I think it's possible Bailey was worried about her job, and whether it was in danger if she went against Catherine wishes. So Bailey went with it, but was afraid of to tell Richard. And then went about it too hard, in how she dealt with Meredith or others...

In some level she is thinking about the hospital and that is her job above any friendships she might have felt with others. Richard was forced to do that when he had the job. But how it was done was wrong...

That's My Girl

part of it was wrong, part of it was needed but in the end, it needs to get back to normal and people needs to get back in places and Minnick can learn with Richard and so does Richard

Jasper1975

It is a oddity. I do feel like Bailey felt pushed into by Catherine, for maybe fear if she fought it, her job might be at risk. Or at least she felt like she needed to prove that her friendship with Richard didn't get in the middle. Like she faught to prove that she could put the job and the hospital in front of her marriage to Ben last year when Ben's screwed up, and the marriage went into rough waters.

But this time she is on much tougher lines with me because of how she handled it. It can be debated whether it's good for the hospital. As Jackson argued, there is wisdom in the original mission. Richard and others like Mark created talented doctors.

I can see that it puts Bailey in a corner. But she started it by not going to Richard and explaining it to him. He had to find out about it in the worst way.
