Unpopular opinion: I dont like chief Ross at all and I dont think she is a good chief or person.
She showed clear favouritism towards Sullivan in s5 by promoting him immediately and then him being first choice for interim captain. When maya figured out they were together told beckett to punish maya and torture her from the inside to keep her quiet abt her secret affair and just sitting back and watching it happen while continuing this secret affair I'm not defending the blackmail obviously she should be punished but ross could easily have dealt with maya professionally? Like write her up, caution her or just talk to her? Its just cruel to make her life a living hell. Becketts bullying which she encouraged led to maya's injury which happened at the station and firefighters getting injured in their own station is concerning enough nevermind them almost dying and then being forced into a psych hold by their partner then mandated therepy by the department and ross didnt even bother to check in with her. As the chief surely she has a duty to and the team that claims to be a "family" did nothing either.
She ignored multiple members of the team when they came to her with their concerns abt beckett. She knew he had been drinking on the job and let him off as he knew her dirty secret and proceeded to do nothing after he still showed his incompetence. Her not holding beckett accountable for his past mistakes actually led to his breakdown aswell. If he had been stripped of captain before the explosion in training then he might not have spiralled the way he did. Then when she was found out she played the victim. Its understable she would want a relationship aswell as a successful career I'm sure most people want that but what she put others through in order to get that? I can just never respect that.
