*sigh*
Have you ever came onto a job site. the folks were negative from the start. The shift just start.. The folks are complaining.. There is shift 'beef'.. 1st shift vs 3rd shift. I'm a temp at this job. When I first start this job. I was like "hello" individually to each person. now, i just come in and work.
If something happens against the shifts, they are ragging on it the whole 8hrs. (i need to buy another mp3 player) sometimes, the voices in my head keep company.. so i cant hear the bullshyt. Communication is nil. So 3rd shift get the shock of their life. Extra work, personnel moved to different shifts for shortages. 3rdshift is left short.
When I do tune in, I keep thinking these folks could never work @ another company. Because they can be sued for sexual harassment, bullying and other violations. jokes are told.. stmts are made.. they've looked into folks personal data as for salaries, fmla issues
The 'lead' has gotten loud with me one too many times. I'm trying to ignore her tone.. She tries to micromanages me. it usually makes her mess up her work..
dont get it twisted I'm thankful for the job. But it's unnervying .. sorry.. I had to get it off my brain.

I worked in a place like that where nearly the entire night shift and many of the day shift(12hr) were traveling staff. Management was uninterested and uninvolved but this was back in the eighties when management stayed in the office. On a good day the regular staff were like acid and I survived six months. The way you described the management in your place, it's easy to see why they need temp. staff. Good luck and keep doing what you're doing. Your survivor skills are good.
I hope you get into a better place soon

Oh Smiles,
How do you really hang in a TOXIC environment? The energy it takes to deal with this stuff will wear you out.You are going to get depressed. Can you find another hospital to work at nearby?
I did a travel job that was TOXIC, and it was awful,Miserable nurses..I did not want to go to work.
I'll never do it again.
It's a wonder that there isn't a high turn over in employees. I hear ya on the attitudes: been there, dealt with it, and feel your pain.
What is it about the 1st shift vs 3rd shift complaints? I swear that's all too common.
it 1st shift takes 2 hrs breaks. 1st shift wont do there work. blah blah..
I had to say to them. um be glad u have this job.. others do not..
3rd shift they do not like the overall mgr. They are bitter.. 30 minutes on Marlboro breaks.. but one dude got mad at me b/c I was not thinking .. I left a soaked formalin form dry in his airspace.. I work at an animal clinic lab work.. (waiting on nursing school) He smokes Gold Marlboro like a chimney..
They have been short staff for a yr. folks have quit. they just decided to get temp service in October. they still are short staff with help.. work is growing..
we are working crismus eve.. wednesday into thursday.. new yrs eve thursday into friday.. i'm so f*cking shock at this move.. I cant get pd for the holiday or anything.. i'm expected to be on nye.
I'm going home for crismus. i get off the plane @9pm. They want me to come in .. this how short staff they are..
oh, i was doing all samples.. untill a 'gremilin" hid one of my samples.. so they place me on fecals and histo's only. *roll eyes* my work station is shared with a day shift person.. we use the same containers. next thing, i'm approached by the night supvr.. Oh Smiles! we found that missing sample.. it was in your rack.. GTFOh.. 4 days later it's in my rack.. dude be real.. everybody uses my rack.. it was not in my rack for 4days.. Needless to say, i'm still on F/H. Now, they take 30 min Marlboro breaks.. i'm still processing.. last nite, i did regular samples (i did my work 1st and complete) b/c we were behind.
The 'lead' processor sd something like oh god.. u r doing regular samples. I stopped helping her and went to do my histos and reports. I'm trying to think, IS it wrong to stop helping them? let them do it all.
the funny thing.. this assignment is indefinite. i'm looking for a job to fit with my nursing school schedule. i dont think, i can do 3rd shift and n.s. this is just to pay the bills. They are counting on me to stay till another situation fix itself.. Something i dont see happening soon..
mgr hands are tied.

survivor skills are good. but one nite, one of techs got me to the point .. i told the supr.. i'm calling temp service on monday to replace me.. boy o boy.. folks started to change their tune. I cant take cussing from kids.. I be *beep* i'll take it from a adult. supvr pulled the tech aside.. tech apologilying (apologizing and lying)to me quick in a hurry.. supvr pulling me in the office too. my tonsills were sore.. 1st nite of strep throat.. sigh..
thanks for the kind words.
Kdog toxic aint the word.. :fight:
one day, i got hit with a tape ball. They are always throwing things at each other.. tubes.. u name it.. i had to say .. dont thrown shish me..
Oh Smiles,

I did a travel job that was TOXIC, and it was awful,Miserable nurses..I did not want to go to work.
I'll never do it again.
i'm trying to get on somewhere else.. i need to take my fast track CNA .. to see if i can get on as PCT in hospital and do n.s.
:notworthy:thanks for reading.. it's been on my head.. Mondays are worst.. Fridays are horrible..
I'm waiting on God!
reality mixing with tv.. I wonder what would Dr. Marcus Welby would do in this situation.. lol
Geeez! What a mess. Like you said, it's a job, and someone's gotta do it. I trust your integrity.
Kids nowadays need a reality check. It isn't all about them.
The youngest 24 and wants to be a lead.. people skills are :bs:
I told them this morning that I would not be in tonite.. boy o boy.. they were scared .. I said SIKE and went home..
Thanks for reading..!
So? What's the latest news on the story? Anything much?
:nurse-violin:*playing dont cry for me Argentina*
*sigh* Last nite was the 1st nite back.. Folks were quiet. I was sick and tired.
Well, they had a meeting @ the start of the nite.
The nite supvr is out indefinitely. she has a blood clot. I'm supposed to go pick her up for the hospital tomorrow. Another worker is out b/c fmla issues.
So, Its down to two processors. Why did the perm processor say.. I might be processing by myself.. Wednesday..
*looking left to right* I sd Who might be processing by themselves? Oh hell.. The specimens that I do is alot by itself trust! I'm pushing to be done by our deadline.. Dude sd if the mgr dont get another processor, he's not coming into work.. *pondering* Does this tie into Cat's thread? *pondering again* :venting: I guess i should close my mouth .. b/c I wont have a voice tonite again. lol..
again thanks for reading
sorta
:offtopic: I was talking to this lady .. She told me this other lab company is hiring for the same job$11.00 hr. same hrs.. (why does animals pay more than human lab? anywho) she sd yeah they have 4 openings.. 2 folks died.. 1 girl jumped off the bridge.. Umm yeah.. maybe i should not apply there.. I wonder if they have part time weekend positions..
Oh, geez, Smiles! The bit about one worker jumping off the bridge is pretty awful. Just an aside, I wonder if there wasn't something else going on, if you know what I mean.
I think this does tie into my thread some. No freaking work ethics, or consideration what-so-ever on the others' parts. It sounds like it's 'all about them', and 'to h*ll with what needs to be done....so WHAT if it's someone else's needed patho work?!'
Makes me wanna get over there and finish something. :fight:
quick update
Ok dude will not be in tonite.. he is also talking about staying out Thursday too.*sigh* I dont care .. I will do my work to my best.
Well, Smiles....it's nearly 2 weeks later. What's the update on the saga? Any better, or is it worse?
oh I did not see this morning..
it's comical. Another temp has come into the fold. Instead of keeping her mouth shut and observe, she went and said somethings about what 1st shift sd about 3rd shift. Especially, the permanent processor who is a doozy. So the permanent processor confronted the 1st shift.. Like I said a dramedy =comedy + drama. I sit back and laugh.. I'm looking for a job after the surgery.
:nurse-rofl:
I think they need to put a camera into the place. Either a Psychiatrist or Industrial psychologist to look at the dynamics of this place. I think everyone needs to take a drug test too.
Friday, I was called into the office. I was told that I was appreciate and have a great work ethic. Like Duh! I know this! Hopefully, they will have the new person trained in two weeks.
