I work in a skilled nursing facility. Last week all the department heads were missing for a day because they had “meetings.” Turns out they all went to topgolf and while they were there they had a discussion about how to communicate better with the employees.

This outing came one week after a mandatory all staff meeting about “employee morale being so low” and “how can the administration show appreciation” …. The chasm between administration and employees that work the floor, employees that make the money for the company is just ridiculous.

I told my boss today that I thought that was bullshit that I get bitched at if my productivity goes below 85%, ( just got an ass chewing for 78%) but they can take the entire administration team and go play top golf for a day (literally gone 8 hours for golf a meal and a discussion). He said well it was a meeting about communicating with eachother and showing appreciation.

Well ya want to know what they came up with, at this golfing event, to show appreciation? Everybody's getting a pumpkin pie for thanksgiving. Fucking amazing, I feel so appreciated.

I asked my boss if, when he goes on vacation do they have to find a replacement for him? He said no. I then asked what happens if I go on vacation? You have to bring in another worker to cover for me. What happens if a nurse goes on vacation? You have to replace them. But not a single one of these department heads needs a replacement when they leave town so who really should be treated and appreciated here? I said “you can keep your pumpkin pie. I'd rather not think anything about this place while I'm with my family for the holiday and walked off.

Fuck them !!
