Nurses are denied OT but then find a loophole to infuriate their micromanager: 'Don't want to pay me 7 minutes of overtime? Mmmkay, pay me an hour'

Nurses are denied OT but then find a loophole to infuriate their micromanager: 'Don't want to pay me 7 minutes of overtime? Mmmkay, pay me an hour'

Going out of one's way to deny healthcare workers overtime pay seems pretty outrageous, right? Well, it seems to be happening, thanks to the operational management of this hospital , where a group of overworked nurses were expressly pressured not to clock out even a minute beyond the end of their shift. Does it matter if they need to finish processing important paperwork? No. Does it matter if they should be responsible for checking up on a few more patients before the end of the day? No. Does…

'We're praying for you but you're fired': 17-year-old gets fired from first job for not personally calling in sick after getting admitted to the hospital

There are plenty of folks who do not look back fondly on their first job. Entering a professional setting without any relevant experience can be a daunting learning curve for anyone, regardless of the industry. However, no matter how much experience you may or may not have regarding the working world, sometimes, abhorrent behavior is so obvious that you know you have been wronged. You don't even question if this is “how things are done” no matter what your employer tries to tell you. You know t…

'He outright yelled at everyone': Entitled ER waiting room complainers upset when new patient gets treated first, employee rightfully sets them straight

We can all agree that no one likes making a trip to the emergency room. It's highly inconvenient, usually overcrowded, and let's not even get started on the cost. But what's almost just as bad as visiting the emergency room yourself would be the poor workers who have to deal with irritated patients all day long. They are already unhappy to be in your presence, not to mention they are in immense pain (I mean, they are in the emergency room, for crying out loud). And when you're in a lot of pain,…

‘I don't want to get involved’: Nurse overhears patient's plan of using someone else's health insurance, decides to risk her career and not report them

Different countries have different benefits that can appeal to their citizens. In some countries, it is extremely affordable to buy a house, in some countries the average salary allows citizens to live comfortably for most of their lives, and some countries have great healthcare plans that put citizens' minds at ease. The US is not great when it comes to the latter, and many American citizens daily worry about their health because they simply cannot afford to go to a doctor, probably like the p…

'Boss blames me for her forgetfulness': Healthcare worker calls out manager for never solving tech issues in front of entire team as payback

There is nothing worse at work than having to bother your manager every day to do a simple task that would make things exponentially easier. The lack of action can say a lot about the kind of manager you have. First, he could be intentionally making things difficult for you and playing mind games. That's the cynical take, but it's not an impossibility. Next, there's the slightly more generous take, which is that your manager is not the brightest bulb. Yes, that's the kinder interpretation of th…

Woman discovers long lost sister, sister blocks her on social media, woman shows up at her work: 'She had no interest in forging a relationship'

This lady needs to take a hint. When she first discovered her long-lost sister, she somehow missed what seemed like obvious clues that her sister, Esty, was uncomfortable about the whole thing given that she fell out of touch with their father. Then, this lady did not get the message when Esty blocked her on social media after the lady started following Esty and messaging her constantly. Finally, Esty took things way too far when she showed up at Esty's place of work completely unannounced. Tha…

Hospital worker forced to carve out extra time for higher-ups, charges a ton of OT: 'I couldn't be blamed'

Let this story serve as a friendly reminder to never work for a business off the clock. If your company requests that you carve out any extra time outside of your regularly scheduled hours, you are well within your right to request that you be paid for that time or, at the very least, that a negotiation process can take place. Let's be clear: the higher-ups at your company are fully aware of what they are asking of their employees. If the topic of payment for that extra did not cross their mind…

'She got me in trouble 6 years ago': Nurse manager settles score with former coworker after receiving her resume, rejects application

Many years ago, in a land far away, I had a coworker who I had beef with. She gave me a rough time, and I certainly didn't spare her from my snappy attitude. If I ever got the chance to reject her application for a job, I'd probably do it. There aren't many people I don't forgive, but she is the exception. In this story, a nurse manager who we'll call OP uploaded a post describing how she got back at a former coworker who had gotten her in trouble back in the day. They had been working at a hos…

'Your wish is my command, nurse lady': Triage nurse gets dissed in front of her peers when an ambulance driver calls out her arrogantly incorrect diagnosis

The emergency room can be a messy, chaotic place. While nurses are trained to work closely with the ambulance drivers coming through the door carting mortally wounded cargo, valuable time can be wasted in all the ‘he said, she said’. Although everyone's just here to help save the lives of innocent strangers, there's an unseen hierarchy within the ranks of any hospital...
