So I work as a social worker at a nursing home specifically long term residents. Today I had essentially a medicaid application/ legal document pushed on me to complete with a resident by the business office woman who doesn’t want to do her own job today because she’s “sick and isn’t even supposed to be here”. I literally couldn’t complete this if I tried and was told “well it’s your job”. I have never done this before so this is news to me. Plus, we need a notary to complete this. Business office woman is one, won’t do it because of above reasoning. Two other notaries in the building read the paperwork and said no not signing it.

We had the same exact symptoms, at the same time. She tested…

I decided (along with my entire team that quit too) that the next job I went into would be something I relatively enjoy, with nice coworkers who wouldn't expect me to give them my soul in exchange for barely minimum wage.. I'm quickly coming to the realization that a place like that simply doesn't exist. I've had multiple awful interviews, walked out of jobs a day in, had trial shifts that turned out to be horrendous, I had one interview that seemed incredible and was everything I wanted, it went well (or so I thought) but then I never heard back from them. I just feel deflated. I'm getting sick of putting myself out there and getting nothing in return. I know I'm a good worker. I know what…
