that is frustration at its finest!! you know, my job suffered over the past months due to the recession (yes nurses suffered too) so i took a new job in my town so that i wouldnt have to travel anymore and it was steady work.
ive been there nearly 3 months now and i feel like screaming for the hills. the job itself is not different than most that ive had. nursing work is nursing work. but the people i work with make me want to just get a check at the beginning of the month.
i should just say thank you God for giving me this job but the drama at work just isnt conducive to a peaceful work life.
the hours are so fantastic. monday through friday. 7-3 shift. weekends off. but the weekends grow shorter and shorter due to the dread i feel when i see monday approaching.
trying to think what to do to be honest. do i keept the wonderful hours but dreadful working conditions or go back to more unsteady work but peace of mind?
Salam Alaikim--Well there's nothing worse than workplade drama. Unfortunately, some places have in more ingrained in their culture. I dunno. It's a hard one. When I first started at my job (i'm a nurse too) I pretty much despised about 50% of the nurses there. However, in the 3 years I've been there the attitudes have changed alot and it's over all a much more pleasant place to work. Of course, it's hospital work and there is a high turnover so the nurses I didn't like are all gone now. I suggest you start trying to find something with similar hours in a different place. It may take awhile, but you deserve the best of both worlds :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully you have resolved this by now, but I would have to say that the easiest way to end your issues is not take part in the drama. I go to work and wave at people as I pass by without talking to anyone unless they seek me out to talk to me. This stops any drama from happenning around me unless I bring the drama upon myself.
