We will see. I hope you are right. It seems that they still have the ability to quickly punish nurses but don’t have the ability to release the ones from this nonsense who have followed all the steps for the last 3 1/2 years. I loathe this but really what can I do except accept it and move on

You make a great point. They swiftly punish and then put off releasing people at the first opportunity. Your frustration is complete warranted and I always think there is value is someone telling you to honor your feelings and experience. It sucks and it’s okay to say that and feel that. Though it’s good to know in the back of your mind that this too will pass. You’ve overcome so very much and been an amazing presence on the recovery forum here. Thank you for all your insightful posts.

Ugh! So they can sit on their orifice and blame this on the current covid upheaval for not doing their job, but boy howdy, you best continue checking in, peeing on command and coughing (no pun intended) up the money on demand, pandemic be ********. Sounds about right.

I'm sorry.

That’s alright cats. On to every life a little rain must fall. I guess this poop storm will just last a little longer than expected

Ha apparently my stuff is on hold until the state folks decide to deal with it. God knows when this stupid train will finally pull into the station

Oh man, sorry to hear that. Couldn't have come at a worse time...

I myself am applying for jobs right now, and although sites say they have openings, it is the last thing on their minds right now. UGH!

Just curious, did you get notification that your stuff is on hold due to all the shutdowns, or are you just assuming it will take extra time? I’m due to complete soon and I was also wondering if this would stall the process.

Yeah I was told by a case manager. I hope that it comes in soon but it’s outta my hands

That’s what I figured, but was hoping it wouldn’t be the case! Thanks for the quick reply

The entire program is run via computers, no? Why should it take longer for them to click a button? Your case manager can see you have complied, she/he should just be stopping the monitoring and saying, Good job, Spanked! You are free!

Good luck, buddy! Hang in there!

Yeah that’s pretty much what I told the lady I talked to. Not only that these folks have the wrong audience. I go to work in a hospital everyday. These people can’t even do their jobs remotely???? It’s asinine but it also is what it is. I find it insane that many of these folks won’t leave the safety if their homes but they are sending people in monitoring out into the community for testing at a real risk to the person in the program and contrary to any public health advice that is available. Out of touch and insulated doesn’t even begin to describe this
