What I Did:
I recently left my position for a local hospital to take a management position for another health care establishment. I thought it would be a good opportunity for me and was a higher salary so I took the job.
Why was it a bad job?
I should have realized within the first three weeks that this job was not for me. They had me training for three to four hours everyday and wanted me to learn the job hands on in the office as well.
I also wasn't told that my position entailed being the manager on duty for the entire establishment one night every other week and certain weekends per year. I need to do admissions all day, also check the dining rooms.
I have been lifting heavy dinner trays and pushing patients around in wheelchairs all while wearing my business attire dress code.
We have strict deadlines and are almost unmanageable workload for one person. They micromanage and treat you like you are stupid if you do not do something correctly.
If I said I did a certain report and they did not read their email to verify it was sent by me, they accuse me of lying.
I have been accused of lying, being stupid and treated like an unskilled laborer.
Tips and Tricks
- I have learned the grass isn't always greener on the other side and that more money does not buy happiness. I am still there at this time.
