It makes me want to yell obscenities when people don't perform at their respective jobs. Bottom line? You and your employer entered into a contract with a basic agreement. You work, they pay you. Pretty simple!
Recently, my wife took a position as an RN at a nursing home. She has several nurse aides that work for/with her to take care of the patients. Pretty easy work, just make sure the patients have what they need, take their vital signs, administer their medication, etc. She was working the night shift, so even easier. Most patients are asleep during these hours. Ok, now we get to my frustration.... Most of the nurse aides are asleep during these hours as well! These aides accepted the job to work, not sleep. You need to be awake to answer calls from patients, take vital signs at certain times, etc. Do your job!!!!! My wife has had to wake up the aides over and over just to get them to assist her in doing THEIR job. See, my wife is not one of these nurses that will just sit while the aides do everything. She works with the aides and expects them to work with her.
Well, she really made an aide mad the other night. "I'll get up and do that when I feel like it" was the response she got when she simply asked if the aide had the vital sign sheet for her to sign. This particular aide made a huge scene over it and over the course of the next day or so did end up being fired. Well, through the course of all these events, my wife got her convertible top on her car slashed. There is no proof that is was that aide that did it, but it is awful coincidental! That brings up the next blog post, but you'll just have to wait for that.
