Re: hard time getting help

forcing a laxative???? hmmmmm.....that's a bit of a harsh reaction.....what's next, firing nurses because they put milk of magnesia in prune juice and call it a black and white coctail??? bruthher!
Ya know...if the old gaffer doesn't want his laxative, yes, he's got a right to refuse....but I wonder, when someone has to do the onery job of blasting that stuff out of him, is he going to get them fired too???
Something is really stinky here....and it isn't the bedpans.....

That's what being nice got me.
Sorry to hear that.

It seems so dysfunctional to have to be nice to people who are abusive. For people who grew up in abusive homes, it takes a lifetime of learning to not put up with abuse of any kind. Having to accept it at work seems like a giant step back.

I wish there was a way that we could make people accountable for their behavior. Unfortunately we have to give care to everyone, even abusive jerks.

Re: hard time getting help

I'm sorry but the only advice we can offer is to contact an attorney. Legal advice is one thing we can't provide.
