I have recently started working as a nurse at a day time clinic. Most of the other nurses are 20-35 years older than me, so maybe there is also some generational differences in how we view work. I do everything I am meant to when I am at work. Today I had done everything, I had cleaned and closed everything for the day, I asked if there was something more I could do and there wasn’t. One nurse had a call to make, but it was nothing I could help with. There was also no ‘risk’ of another patient coming in since we had closed the place for the day. So half an hour before I was off I asked to leave early because I had nothing to do. Got a long lecture about what kind of nurse I want to be, but in the end she let me go.…
Hello, I am 35/with treatment resistant adhd. I've been shuffled around from office job to office job. The only issue is that they require unobtainable levels of production and accuracy. I can't take adhd meds because I am bipolar and they make me crazy. I've tried non stimulant ones and I just don't sleep for days. Any job where I am busy with a shitload of tasks from start til finish is the bane of my existence. I am looking for any job, requiring a new degree of not, where there really isn't a huge amount of work to do. I worked retail and it was either crazy or absolutely dead. That suited me, but I was on my feet 8 hours a day and the customers literally assaulted me & my supervisors didn't care. I won't go back to retail. Note: security and graveyard dont work for me as…
Im literally 5,000 miles away from home right now so…no.
I planned a trip to South Carolina for 3 days told my manager a month in advanced and got the approval. Now the way they used to do pto they gave it to us all upfront every year, they just got bought out and now apparently we gotta accrue it. But I asked multiple times if l'd get paid for these 3 days and I was told yes and that'd l'd just be in the negative for pto which I already am. I literally asked 5 times before taking the days off because I couldn't afford to not get paid those 3 days. Well now it's pay day and they are telling me they can't pay me anymore pto and that I have to accrue it until I'm in the positives. Is there anything that I could do? They knew I was already negative a bit pto but continued to…
I put my two weeks in and my boss as done every possible to show he is bitter and salty. He is asking for more items to be completed by EOD and on urgent timelines on top of the already existing pile. On top of that he wants to me attend an event next week because he needs my help to record it. First, I agreed to this out of respect and wanting to leave on good terms but the past few days he has done everything possible to cut me off in conversations, not responding to me telling him that the deadlines are unrealistic and leaving me out of conversations and email threads regarding said event that later he could hold me accountable for. I don’t want to attend with the possibility of things going wrong and being blamed and feeling disrespected after being cut off so many times.…
Is anyone is this boat? It’s bleak.
