Non-motivational speaking

This weekend, the house supervisor told a nurse who declined to stay past her scheduled shift, "You'll just have to tell your co-workers they'll be working short today because you refuse to stay."

Smart nurse said, "No, they'll be working short because someone in a position of greater authority than me failed to plan." (This was a shift that was open from the time the schedule came out, not a last- minute call-in.)

And what are the chances of that nurse ever going out of her way to do something for that supervisor in the future?

When will they ever learn?
