rubensredd's blog post - the "why" continued....if you are following

So the rumors are flying at work. The staff rumors don't bother me....but I had residents ask me yesterday ask me very personal questions....THIS BOTHERS ME!!!! I work where they live. They do NOT live at my work. And these less then pleasant things that have happened to me there should NEVER effect them. Shame on my coworkers for talking/gossiping in front of them. Shame on the management for not protecting the residents from work place politics.
As I stated in my last blog, I love my residents and families and they love me....they truly are extended family...so if they think I have been hurt or wronged in anyway...this hurts them...which in turn hurts me deeply.
I have had so many people tell me "it's just a job...don't take it personal." For those that say that to me...fuck off! It is personal. I bath them. I dress them. I am the one that sits with them on holidays when their families don't come to see them. I hold their hands when they take their last breath. If THOSE things are not personal....then what is for fucks sake?
If I didn't take "it personal" I wouldn't be good at what I do.

But the point of this rant....I still don't have a schedule. My boss doesn't have the goodness with in to talk to me and map it out for me for the rest of the month. I had to call her yesterday and ask her what my schedule was. the text I got back said "Tuesday".....so to this I ask????? Am I being overly sensitive (yes I can be) when I say...this is a hostile work environment.... the bosses won't speak to me and I get a day by day schedule...after being demoted???? And let me say this...if had done this to a staffer when I was in charge of scheduling....I would have gotten in trouble.
*sigh*
