Work can be made better

No one wants to go to work, including me, but I accept that work needs to be done. Someone has to be a doctor, a nurse, a mechanic, etc. If you enjoy the internet and gaming, someone has to make and maintain these. However, work can be made or broken by a bad system or a bad manager. Case in point, I work for a ward for the NHS…. I get 3 breaks, a 20 minute, a 40 minute, and another 20 minute. I am allowed a coffee whenever I want. I am allowed to control the flow of my own work load and the hours are flexible. The previous ward where I worked: Two breaks, a five minute (where you had to stay in the kitchen and was not allowed to sit down), a 30 minute. I was not allowed a coffee outside these breaks.

Case in point, I work for a ward for the NHS….

I get 3 breaks, a 20 minute, a 40 minute, and another 20 minute. I am allowed a coffee whenever I want. I am allowed to control the flow of my own work load and the hours are flexible.

The previous ward where I worked:

Two breaks, a five minute (where you had to stay in the kitchen and was not allowed to sit down), a 30 minute. I was not allowed a coffee outside these breaks. Told what to do by a shouty manager and the hours where not flexible.

The previous ward has a very high turn over of staff and the ward I am on now, does not…..

Work does suck, but a decent manager tries to lesson the pain, a bad manager does not.
