Unthoughtful people!

[WelshJojo]

That's just rubbish, Welshtigger. I worked in management in the care industry and I always made sure the Christmas rota was out by the first week in Novemberand I also always chipped in a worked on the shop floor to show we all did the same and I always did the nightshift on Christmas Eve to show I shared the work with the staff.

I just don't know what to do now! I don't want to work this weekend now as they've really made me cross I want to tell them where to stick their job and stupid disorganised company
In fact I'm tempted to not confirm my shift when they eventually txt it to me and see how they like it

 

[MadameLaMinx]

Send one more text, saying that as you haven't had confirmation you are taking it that your services aren't required and that if they could let you know what your shifts for next week are that would be great.

The problem is that the people who suffer from this mismanagement is the people who need you most. It is unforgiveable of them to not be fully ensuring the care of the vulnerable people that are relying on you being there.

The most recent txt was sent at 7.45!! I mean it's not like I've not been chasing up the Christmas hours for over a week now! It's going to end up spoiling my Christmas and I wish I could tell them where to stick it xx

 

[Samprand]

any texts been sent to you yet?

i'd be tempted to turn my phone off, but as MadameLaMinx said, its vulnerable people who would suffer! So management know they can take advantage of your kind nature by being so disorganised, and just expect you to fall into place as soon as they decide to be bothered to text you

Not good enough on their part!

Lucia Lucia - good on you for working the floor! The care industry needs more higher-ups to have actual hands-on experience so they know what theyre talking about when giving us work to deal with

 

[WelshJojo]

Why not ring and leave a message if they don't answer the phone.
Tell them if you don't hear by 10pm what hours/days your working over this weekend then you will take it your not needed.

Yep-that's my plan-except I'm going to bed in a min so will have to be 9.30!

All the usual calls, plus 2 extras at lunchtime all 3 days! Which mean instead of finishing at 1.45 on Sunday it's gonna be nearer 2.45 and have to be back at 4!! Am so angry! Have just had a blazing row with my sister and now mum is really upset about it all, as it'll only be her and dad for christmas lunch
But I'll have the last laugh eventually! Just wish it hadn't ruined my Christmas in the process

 

[Samprand]

I know it's awful to say but couldnt u refuse to do it? They cant treat staff like this, its not good enough x

Tell them no.

Tell them what you can work and that's it x

My sister agreed to do Christmas Day so HER oldies wouldn't suffer....so they gave her all new people! What the hell is that about?

I txt back to tell her it's totally unfair and asked why the carer I'm working with can't do one while I do the other like we normally do, so we both finish earlier-and she just txt back to answer one of the other questions!

Tell them no.

Tell them what you can work and that's it x

I've half drafted a letter ready to give them on Tuesday, changing my availability with immediate effect! I would rather do less hours and have a bit more of an idea of what's going on!

That just shows what a bunch of c**nts some care managers can be! My service users are the main reason I'm not just going AWOL for Christmas-along with the fact I need a reference from them when I get another job!!!!

Dear trolly brigade.

Get our of the effin way!!!!!
yes you've got lots of shopping so need a trolley, and yes it's raining, but why do you all then stand shoulder to shoulder under the awning at the exit so no one else can get in or out of the store?
If you want to wait for the rain to stop then move over and leave room for those of us smart enough to be wearing coats and have brollies when it's raining outside.

I got some nasty looks when I expressed these feelings to the crowd.

Dear people who will be shopping at asda.

please be patient with the checkout colleagues. Some of us have anxiety disorders and buckle easily under pressure. you tutting and moaning doesn't help and will only make matters worse.

be nice to us- its xmas afterall :\

 

[WelshJojo]

Dear bosses!
You have spoilt my Christmas!
I don't like you!
I will do no more favours!
I will be leaving in January!
THE END!!!!!

Dear people at work,

Christmas has not come as a surprise to any of us. It is on the same day each and every year, as is Christmas eve. Therefore, why ask for your Christmas shifts to be cancelled the day before? You're lucky I didn't get the request, because I would have refused due to the fact that as it stands, we are severely understaffed, and I am working most of Christmas day You got the nice boss, not the mean one, so think yourselves lucky!

And dear friends,

Whilst I appreciate your gifts for me (I opened them already!), please don't tell me what you were gonna get me! The thoughtfulness of the gifts you were gonna get made me cry when I got in, and then I had to explain to him indoors why I was crying, and I felt like a right dufus!

And dear lady in Argos yesterday,

Shouting at the dude behind the counter ain't gonna magically make something appear which isn't in stock. It just makes you look like a prat.

And dear B&Q,

Why did you have to have all your decorations at 75% off yesterday, and your real Christmas trees for 1p? £26.26 later, I own most of your stock, and my mother now has a real tree sat outside! I could have used that £26.26 on something else, darn you and your shiny sparkly pretty Christmas decorations!

Lots of love and Merry Christmas to you all x
