Coworker Issue- LONG VENT

[hereyago]

OP: congrats on getting out of that hot mess. Good luck on your new job and have mountains of donuts for your party.

WOW!! What an update! Congratulations on your new job! I can relate - I start a new job in a week after 10 years home (well, part time work.) Your new opportunity sounds AWESOME! Enjoy the change.

Congratulations! Are you as nervous as I am?!!

Update!

Well the 2 nurses both left weeks ago, there are agency nurses currently filling in We were told that we are not allowed to tell the new nurses any of Sues issues and if we spoke about her past we would be fired.I feel that the nurses currently working there are unaware of the risk of working with Sue.

I took some vacation time and have been working occasionally (around Sues schedule) and trying to use my vaca days up. I have FINALLY found a new position! It is totally different from what I do now, about 10K a year more than I make now and has much better benefits. I am sooooooooo nervous! The interviews were terrifying but the new job is closer to home and has great hours. I offically gave my 2 weeks notice last Monday so this will be my LAST WEEK!! The office manager had the nerve to act shocked, and when she asked me why I was leaving I told the truth. Sue threatened me and caused an extremely unpleasant work environment and nothing was done about it. I also told her that I felt the patients were unsafe.

In the meantime Sue showed up to a staff meeting on Wednesday night extremely drunk and slurring, and apparently several people smelled the alcohol coming off of her. When asked if she had been drinking she stomped around and had one of her usual tantrums, in front of the drs and the office manager this time. I am told it was very obvious she was drunk. As of Friday, Sue was put on the schedule as receptionist, and no longer working as a medical assistant, since now none of the nurses will let her work on their license since they were all present at the meeting. Fortunately I was off.

PS we are having a donut party on my last day

Best update evah!

Congratulations to you and Rodeo65 on your new jobs! FD, seriously your new job sounds great. Better pay, better hours, and no Sue! Keep us posted on how your last days play out, especially the doughnut party. I'm sure it will be a doozy.

I hope everyone at your new workplace is sane, FD. Quirky can be interesting, but sane is a must!

Congratulations!!! LOL at your donut party send-off....

Wow, great update! Not only do you get to jump ship, but the lifeboat has better pay and better benefits than the flaming inferno you're leaving behind - awesome!

Enjoy your donut party! Bring in lots of the cream-filled ones!

Congrats on the new job!!! Have a blast at your donut send off. I am so glad to hear Sue is not working as a medical assistant.

Congrats on the new job! I bet you will have a lot less stress and can finally exhale!

I'll admit I am still furious she has not been fired. Where else can you show up drunk and not get in trouble?

The "powers that be" there I do feel will regret not taking action one day and it won't be pretty.

Good luck in your new job!

I am guessing she has naked pictures of the boss.

Right?!! I completely agree with this. There is no other reasonable explanation.

You might want to give a buzz to your state's department of health on your way out the door and let them know that you think one of the medical employees is drinking on the job and therefore putting patients at risk. I'm sure they'd be happy to hear that.

It sounds like the may be getting it. I am betting if you call in 6 months she will be history, cause no it affects them.

I think you should sign Sue up for the domut of the month club

I am really so happy for you! Better benefits (working closer to home is one of the best! ) and getting away from nut-case SUE!!!

Sue deserves a great big hug and a HHHUUUUUGGGGGEE cake - marble with strawberry filling and whipped topping, maybe? - for forcing you to look for another job. Heck, if it weren't for her craziness, you'd continue to work there and would have never found this wonderful new place. I'd definitely let her know that before you leave.

FD and Rodeo - I wish you the best of luck in your new jobs. Of course...... we'll need an update in a few weeks.

 

[Rafiki31]

I think you should start sending sweet treats to Sue annonymously. You know, monthly, weekly or on holidays. Just a random cake delivery here and there!

I had to google: Donutgate sue disboards to find this thread again. The mystery bag in the bushes thread that I read today had me thinking about this one. LOL! I was wondering how the new job is going OP and let's face it we all also want to know- did you keep in touch with any ex-coworkers and hear any new juice on CooCoo for coco puffs ?
