Bullies In The Work Place ! Pt 2

buildingmyfaith57 · Jun 6, 2006

I was called useless alot, and a few other demeaning things. All in a days work!
But in one facility, one fellow aid was very threatening. She told my supervisor I was evil....frankly she frightened me....she hit me hard once with a lunch tray, called it an accident but it definately was not (she was very angry at the time and smiled after she did it). I really though she would hurt me, so I decided to leave.I am not sure that was the best decision, but I did not want to invite retaliation. She would put curses on me from time to time. Real mental health issues, no doubt.
Funny thing was, the DON approached me and offered to fire her if I would stay. I did not even know she knew about the situation! I said, No thanks.
Arblunt, if you see this happening to someone else, never never participate in it (I am sure you never would!) and I would go to management to discuss the culture of bullying.

when i was still working, ive been told in my face that i was too dumb to work for them, ive been also told that im too old, unhealthy, and i was mentally, ive also had a charge nurse that told another cna not help me with difficult resident. was the manager being told yes it was being told did anything get done about it ? no

I am so sorry this happened to you.

This environment also effects the patients.
