I feel like the biggest pretender in the world. This job is like one big exercise in making shit up as I go along

Bad Boss

What a poor job coach. She is either incredibly inconsiderate or wants to see if you will sink or swim. And may hope that you sink

I don't think she's actually bad, I just think she hasn't had a chance to train me. In all fairness to her, she's been managing two humongous clinics for the last couple months and has been splitting her time between the two. Also, there is a person here who used to be charge nurse but for her own personal reasons, has a difficult time finding time to train me. It was sort of by mutual agreement between myself and the manager that it was going to be baptism by fire. And honestly, I think she has actually just had that much faith in me that I can/will figure it out

hey laura it's karen! i've been meaning to comment but i can't remember my password, even when i reset it. anyway, knowing you you'll be kicking ass and taking names. in the words of my favorite hero, Alanna from those books i read in middle school, if you killed all the stupid people in the world you wouldn't have time to sleep. so this is the next best thing :)

Ha! Nice to hear from you again =)As for kicking ass and taking names . . . let's just say I've already given out 3 written warnings and completed a record of conversation. I'm preparing a second record of conversation, another written warning, and one final written warning (meaning if they do it again, they no longer have a job). Needless to say, I've become good friends with our HR guy, haha.

The good part is I just hired my first employee, and I LOVE her! I never knew how exciting it was to get your own people in place, and what a change it can make . . .
