I've been at my job for two years , it's a nursing home and I absolutely love the patients thats the only reason I continue to work there, the pays shitty and I work in dietary and the food is shit and everything is just fucked up!! My big problem is I am a very hard worker and the bosses all say so but they rely on me to do everything. The big issue is I made a good a friend in one of the patients julian and we have made a habit of going out front to smoke a cig like everyone does like nurses and other people do but for some reason the kitchen has given me a rule that I can't go out with him while he smokes so I haven't but I feel that i'm treated very unfair because there are so many big issues that they need to focus on such as : one of the chefs Drinks hard Alchol while he's cooking and serving and leaves to go smoke before we are done serving the patients, one of my bosses has a catering business on the side so he uses our food for our kitchen and makes his food there only on weekends when the big bosses aren't around because he knows he's STEALING, he also sexually talks to girls in our kitchen who have all warned him to stay away, it;s just very overwhelming and very stressful and I can't say anything because all the bosses are doing something wrong. I love the patients but is it worth for me to be this stressed?? What should I do ??
i don't really have enough info to offer advice on such a complicated situation... maybe you could find a better job and still come to visit the patients as a friend?
Hmmm isnt there anyone you could talk to? Or if its really bad then you amy want to talk to the relatives of the patients and tell them. After all, those people must care and you'll have more support then. Hope it works out. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
talk to someone who works in a diferent are of the nursing home and see if you can work there. say you are feeling stagnant doing what youre doing now, and you want to learn new things. sometimes avoidance is better than confrontation, but doing nothing sux, cus then you start the hate your job and that will cause stress in other areas of your life
I quit that job!!!!!! Got hired somewhere new, I will miss my patients but I will visit them but it's good to have a new start somewhere else.
I used to work at a residential caring facility and i was a dietary assistant. I miss the people there. It was definately a diverse place to work. even tho it was stressful, i still had fun working there
Why did you leave, and I agree I'm going to miss all the patients so much but the stree has been far to much to bear.
well, the government decided they didn't want to put any more funds into the place to fix it up. It was established in the 1800's and so there was alot of wear and tear to the place. So they shut the place down. It was a damn shame. Some of the residence had been living there 20 plus years.
