feeling like I'm a loser

In a nutshell. Supervisor that can't supervise. I always seem to end up covering for missing shifts

esp nights. I'm just feeling really exausted and I love the job, but don't see an end to

scheduling probs. No one calls back because they are already overworked and need the time off.

I just need to vent I guess. I haven't been there long, and I am grateful to have a job, but I got a call

for an interview, and turned it down out of loyalty to the company, now I'm wishing I hadn't.

Learn from your coworkers to say no! Get caller ID and don't answer when work is begging you to work! You are just going to end up burnt out! Don't let them guilt trip you into working more than you want. They will gladly take advantage if they can.

I will have to agree with most users here. Most of the time it is very difficult to decline especially if you're trying not to disappoint anyone. And when that happens everyone else is happy while you on the inside you're boiling with anger. it's not good either for your peace of mind and your health. So, stand up for your right by addressing the matter in a professional manner and say no.

You should be loyal to yourself, they will use you and abuse you as long as you let them. EFF them, DO YOU.

As long as you keep giving, the employer will keep taking and taking and taking. They have no regard for employee well-being or morale.

If I am understanding this correctly-- You are a supervisor that is having to cover for people calling out or not showing up to work? Yes, that is extremely frustrating! I used to get Pis*** when this happened. Especially because it was always the usual suspects.. Talk about resentment. I still get angry when I bump into these people!

yes exactly! I'm so depressed and tired I'm not sure i can go back. I have one more day to pull it together and I always do, but I can't do this. I told administration this has to change. The problem is they keep scheduling every one mini shifts. (like they do 8 hours, someone comes in for four and then someone comes in for 12. The result is mass chaos and confusion. people don't show and i end up filling in 4 hours here, six hours there. Calling all the time for CNA's. Floating peple from already heavy units. The result is a revolving door. Think I'm on the verge of being on the revolving out. I'm trying to figure out if this is my biochemical brain out of whack...depression, had it forever. Don't talk to me about counseling cause I've been there, done that and am through talking. For what I've spent, I could have 3 degrees and a big house and fancy car! lol. Thanks for the support everyone. I'll let you know how it turns out
