vestmoria@linux.communityOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•those of you with good skills to defuse a tense situation at the workplace, what advice can you give me?English11·12 days agoyou have several good points but this ruined a good message:
where several people have failed her in a serious matter.
where did you get that from? an elective operation can be postponed if there are no doctors or anesthesiologists who can operate or if an emergency arises and somebody from the ER must be operated within minutes. She was told several times the new date for her fathers operation, she was told the hospital is not operating at full capacity due to doctors calling in sick but she didn’t want to hear it, she even tried storming the nurses room.
If my coworker gives in to every entitled relative who yells at her and treats her this way, either my coworker will resign or take leave due to depression, a coworker who was simply doing her job to the best of her abilities managing the 20 something operations that had to be readied for Monday next week. And she gets abused for that? And you condone the karen? This part of your post seems very tone deaf. My coworker didn’t even do her pause. It is her the one who deserves empathy, respect and my support, not the karen.
As a matter of fact, next time something like this happens I’ll stop working and be there for her ready to call in security and the cops. f*ck the karen.
I don’t know if you’re aware how nurses complain of being treated like crap, burnout, losing the empathy they had when they first started working, but people like this karen are the reason why. You only need one to ruin your day.
What do you call somebody who throws a fit if she doesn’t get what she wants?

actually, some unidentified coworkers complained I’m not friendly and the way I speak is demanding.
My former supervisor seemed to care about this because she came to me with these accusations, repeatedly. I still don’t know if this something big enough to fire somebody.
I don’t care, don’t give a fuck but apparently hr does…
vestmoria@linux.communityOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I'm burnt out, already changed jobs, what else can I do to go back to my normal self?English12·28 days agoDon’t give a fuck attitude going forward is a must.
I’m gonna have to ask you to explain here:
I stopped giving a fuck about my coworkers 2 weeks before calling in sick, like, fuck them and I hope they burn in hell. If I ever have to set foot at that god forsaken piece of shit ward I’m calling in sick again. Fuck em.
I also don’t give a fuck about any of my former managers.
I don’t want to to say I don’t give a flying fuck about my current hospital, because I’m staying with them on a different role until I find something better, which may or may not happen, but it’s a clock in clock out and I’m fucking done with you and fuck you asshole situation
you suggest not giving a fuck even going forward? but I do need to give a fuck not to lose my new position until I have secured a newer one, right? I don’t even know if I’m going to hate the new position away from patients as much as the ward.
you other 3 bullet points are great though

Did you do therapy or simply started your new job and somehow your brain forgot that part of your former life? Talked to friends?
I’ll watch the video now
vestmoria@linux.communityOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I'm burnt out, already changed jobs, what else can I do to go back to my normal self?English4·28 days agoI don’t want to go to work dreading having to go to work, I don’t want to think about how I’m going to be yelled at, what snarky remarks I’m gonna have to hear, what coworkers are going to lazy around while I work and their sit on their asses, I don’t want to prepare a working plan for the day only to be completely ignored by a coworker that, while not my superior, feels and acts like it only because she’s been there longer than me.
I don’t want to go to work in fear.
this looks like PTSD now.
I want to go to work to do the job to the best of my abilities feeling rested, to do my pauses as stipulated in the contract, to avoid drama and go home.
vestmoria@linux.communityOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•how are you able to care more about your job itself than the people at your job?English1·1 month agoyour answer is some kind of zen level wisdom I still need to master.
Happy that you can, but apparently I cannot (yet?)

vestmoria@linux.communityOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life?English12·2 months agowow… good post
vestmoria@linux.communityOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life?English22·2 months agonone of us actually care about how anyone else’s weekends were or how the other person’s kids are doing.
got it, you ask to fake interest in the other person so he feels valued. Seems ridiculous and a waste of intellect.
It seems the best I can do is working alone. These rituals are way too complicated for me.
vestmoria@linux.communityOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what does it mean being nice to your coworkers to you?English2·2 months agodoes this also work with women? most nurses I work with are women and are simply incapable of being silent more than 2 minutes.
they may be offended in short term. but in the long you will have more respect.
they WILL be offended and proceed to furiously talk behind my back and destroy my credibility
vestmoria@linux.communityOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what does it mean being nice to your coworkers to you?English32·2 months agoI’m very introverted and to me any kind of question about me is a prying one: my age, where I was born, how long I’ve been living where I am. I simply don’t get why I have to tell my coworkers about this, nor I understand why they get offended if I don’t answer the question. If I’m fired or I quit I’m not going to see them ever again. Who cares?
I’m a nurse and at my hospital there are rituals that bore me but anyone else finds, apparently, great: after report, talking time, usually 30 minutes. They talk about boring stuff, are loud and obnoxious, I simply don’t understand why adults act like this. I read to pass the time, but have to be there with them because we’re officially working. This happens at least three times per shift: once more to have lunch (for whatever reason we ALL must have lunch together, even if it means not having your own chair) and after charting, where, once again, I must remain with them because that’s officially working time. If I leave, have a seat in the pause room and start reading, I get yelled at, no matter than I can also hear the bell from there.
It gets very boring. God my new job cannot start soon enough.
I don’t have the luxury of having my own working station.
I’ve started to do extra chores just not to have to hear them. It also reduces the chance of them asking me about me.
vestmoria@linux.communityOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•what does it mean being nice to your coworkers to you?English614·2 months agothat would be cruel, this is a very insensitive comment
vestmoria@linux.communityOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life?English11·2 months agobeing nice is all it takes.
if you mean I have to do this I shouldn’t even waste my time and look for jobs where I work alone. Step 2 is already Get to know your coworkers which for the most part, are irrelevant to me. And I can’t fake that.
Saying hi is not enough?
I have no problem with those who have something interesting to say but most of them for the most part care about stuff so asinine it makes me want to kill them and then myself.
Either I learn really fast to deflect very successfully or I start working alone. To keep my sanity.
vestmoria@linux.communityOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life?English14·2 months agoYou don’t have to socialize. But being a decent person means sacrificing your comfort for others’ sometimes.
you seem to imply there’s something like a middle point between fully socializing and being decent, which I guess means talking but less? Is this so?
vestmoria@linux.communityOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life?English21·2 months agoYeah every single one of your coworkers is childish on an elementary school level, sure.
I guess I should’ve written ‘my coworkers sometimes behave like elementary school children’ which is every time they have nothing to do. This is what I feel. I guess to them, they ain’t being childish but engaging. To me it still feels childish.
You either work with a ton of real weirdos, or more likely are way overemphasizig to get people to take your complaints more seriously.
I don’t believe I’m overemphasizing. This is how perceive reality. And I haven’t even started with the patient population
Your perception of yourself and your coworkers is not as objective and devoid of emotion as you think.
you are right, everything I wrote is how I perceive reality, which is, mostly subjective, but to me it still feels objective, if that makes sense. I don’t believe my post (the one that started the thread) is objective, it’s how I perceive my coworkers.
it’s actually very sad that your post gets the most upvotes, it simply shows how disconnected, entitled and delusional you and those who upvote you are regarding healthcare.
Nothing surprises me anymore.
You don’t seem to understand that people have lives to live and not everyone has the luxury of pretending to be an armchair doctor or nurse like you. If you’ve never worked a 12 hour shift without pauses, with people blaming you for things you cannot change nor are your fault, with people trying to punch you and raising your voice when they feel inconvenienced you should shut up.
Go back to your ivory tower. No wonder nurses are looking for alternatives elsewhere.
happy downvoting
