More work drama

Gaahhhh! It happened again! My manager/best friend "forgot" that I had taken Sunday off and that she had to work. When I told her (the morning I was supposed to be off) she told me that she had to go to church because her Dad was already on the way to pick her up. So yeah on my "day off" I got off two hours late. This is the third or fourth something like this has happend in a span of about two months. BUT WAIT: to top it off the same day I was off I got a text from her saying "I appreciate what you did for me, but you need to take the trash out in pt's x bathroom." AAAHHH!

I got up early that day to make sure all of the ppl were done, that breakfast was ready to go and that all the laundry, dishes, cleaning, and meals were prepared before hand so that she could have an easy day and that was the thanks I got! How many times have I come on shift to find that a hurricane has hit the house and I have to clean it up! I've never c/o about petty stuff because I know none of us are perfect and it isn't worth it to sweat the small stuff.

Then last night one of the ladies who lives there, but is not a pt came to me. She had some minor concerns about the diet and the attitude my manager had been giving her. Basically my manager made her cook her own breakfast because she had to leave early for a doc appt (the lady pays for her meals to be made by the staff) it wasn't a big deal but I guess the attitude she got was bad. Then she said that her other concerns were not being addressed and that promises were being made but nothing was being done. It was very akward because she basically said she thought my manager was immature and that she was angry at what happened to me on my "day off". I told her to go to the owner that she needs to have a heart to heart with her.

Anyway I'm rambling but my point is I am done.

Nuff said. Kudos to you for giving it a good honest try, but it's not working out and kudos to your for recognizing that.

Good luck as you move on.

Sorry what is happening to you. However if you are sharing staffing problems with residents, that's not helpful. They aren't there for you to confide in.

She was sharing her issues with me :(. She knew I was supposed to be off and when she asked why I was still working I told her that my manager forgot and went to church. I didn't say it in a away that was derogatory to my manager just stated what actually happened.I should have just said something came up but I wasn't exactly in the most rational state (24 hours straight kills your brain).

What's really frustrating is that I love this job. I love this place and the pts and the work itself. I just hate stuff like this.
