So it's days like the one I had yesterday where I strongly consider cutting my losses on a job and finding another one.
I've been trying to hold out because I'm working on getting skills to set up my own virtual assistance business and get clients, however I have days where it's getting progressively worse to stay there. So yesterday we had a #teagate incident which made me literally stop and wonder if I should stay around daft people any longer than necessary.
Before I get into this, keep in mind this level of stupidity and that it's an actual hospital that depends on these people to feed others who can't feed themselves, think about that for a moment.
Basically we have this new girl who was trained by the manager and the manager was the cook for yesterday, she asked me if the tea maker we have, how much water to dilute the tea with and that she learned that from the manager and from another employee we had that recently quit. I know that was a lie because I got trained by the employee that recently quit and she never said any of that.
Not a big deal, I think to myself and then I explained, the water comes out this spout so it automatically is already diluted, if you add more water, it will overfill because you're brewing it twice. That's all you're really doing, the water comes out at 4 minutes and it brews for a total of 10.
I said this and she continues to argue with me about how the tea isn't diluted enough so she turns the tea maker on but doesn't put a tea bag into it, she presses the button to essentially brew again but without the tea bag so only water comes out to dilute the tea. I was kind of annoyed why a person would ask me a question if they were just going to repeatedly argue with me over it so I dropped it knowing it was going to overfill. For reference, I'm the type of person that if I tell you that something will happen and you do it anyways, I just shrug my shoulders and let you do you. Literally don't care if it overfills or not, so even when water overflowed all over the place, I kept on working as usual 🤣
This isn't the end of this sad saga though haha, so the tea overfills and my manager is cooking and all of a sudden she goes "what's overflowing, oh no something is broken" or something to that extent. I told her the tea overflowed and then she turns her nose up to me and says something like "is it JUST the tea though? I don't think it would create that much water."
SO SHE F--KING CALLS MAINTENANCE thinking something is wrong.
The maintenance man is sitting there, scratching his head, examining every nook and corner, I watch rather amusingly from the corner and after about five minutes of this, I broke off laughing. Then seriously stated that nothing was wrong, I told them the tea would overflow and they just did it anyways. I kind of said it in a brash like manner because by then I was seriously irritated.
Then at that point, I think I made my fellow employees a little mad when I said that. The dietician was talking to my manager and I tried to have a conversation to which she blatantly ignored me, the manager ignored me for a long time and then the new girl just kind of avoided me.
Literally yesterday I just about walked out but then I reminded myself that I just work there and it's temp. but there's a lot more to this and in all honesty, there's other issues that are getting worse and worse as time goes on so I am just not sure. I just know that yesterday I just about was in between this situation is hilarious, to you can't honestly be that dumb.
