By Carla, July 11, 2019 — My job is so enjoyable. It has lots of meaning. I love taking care of people. The reward is immense when they improve and go back to their families and life.
Things NEVER remain the same. [Things] gotta change with the time. New bosses, new rules, computers (suppose to deter paperwork) [but don’t]! Sitting in front of computers – I wasn’t trained to do that! I love the human aspect of care giving. Staff are not replaced when they burn out from work load increases.
Dear Lord: The new bosses – fire him! Fire her! Granted, some of us need to be fired, but not me and Sue and Musta, that’s part of the furniture, though we had chairs in the place. We got fine treats too. New order from new bosses –“Reduce salary, we’re not making money. Business not growing. Let’s cut gravy from the bottom. Let’s reduce or eliminate health pension benefits.”
OMG, I’ve been at the same place for 30+ years and my reward is this!!! Our loyal subject rewards … Hard to wrap what’s happening around my big egomania brain.
The new bosses [are] not available for problem solving, [or] discussions about concerns. New bosses don’t return calls or make appointments to see.
What’s a girl to do? 30 years of managing my loving job! Great evaluations, partners in “crime” for 30 years, what to do?
Wait it out. Pray, talk. Discuss work with family. Final discussions reside with me! DIVORCE!! Secure the job. Freedom. Get up when I want to. Be poor and happy. What to do with all the time on my hands … Next journey, just started. I’ve arrived at the writing reading group.
