Nurses are typically highly educated, smart people. However, many of them are clueless when it comes to using a computer.
The best call I got went something like this:
Nurse: My computer won’t work.
Me: Ok, what’s going on with it?
Nurse: The screen is black.
Me: Alright. Is the green light visible on the computer?
Nurse: I don’t see one.
Me: Press the power button and let’s see if anything comes up.
Nurse: Hey! That fixed it. It’s normally on when I get here for my shift
Why is it when coworkers become supervisors they become tyrants who micromanage and control everything? I’ve known perfectly nice people (I am a counselor after all) who have been promoted and literally become unrecognizable to those former co-workers who have the unfortunate fate of sticking around afterwards. In my most recent position as an adolescent drug and alcohol counselor for the city’s health department, I have seen it the worst it’s ever been. Is it due to working in a system that supports managers and supervisors no matter what the issue is? Is it because city workers are typically people who have stuck around in the system for so long waiting for their pension to kick in that they are bitter and looking for someone to take out their anger on? Is it because they’ve been in the trenches for so long that when they’re lifted up and given a small amount of power they go nuts with it?
Hello everyone ,this has got to be the oddest situation I have been in my whole small life.I work with an MIS group that maintains servers /workstations alike and control the whole facility here at company xyz.Now let me tell you xyz is a “GREAT” company and very profitable indeed and there is an 80/20 split on the good people and the shitheads that work here at xyz.This group inhouse is managed by staff in another state (Which are great people and strong management)but are being snowjobbed and do not know it by a staff member here at xyz.This individual comes in late ,leaves early anywhere from 1-4 hours almost every daY (Especially Fridays …. Anyhoo this does not directly effect my position until management comes to me and asks where is so and so ?
I work in a company that is provides communication services. I work in a cube ( what else is new ) along with two other men both married. The company was the bastard company of a take over. I work on the computer all day writing programs, my co-workers are all within 3 feet of me in their part of the cubicles. Co-worker A is married with 2 kids. He is having an affair with a another married woman in another dept of the company. She calls him at least 20 times a day. The have a “quid pro quo” arrangement. he helps her out and she HELPS him out, if you get my drift. I am so sick of listening to his wispers and moaning when he is on the phone with her.
