I recently quit my job at this facility and one of the main reasons why was because of the case manager. I had this job for over a year and I experienced some inadequacies when it came to her. For over half the time being at this facility , I would usually work the usual evening shifts (every other weekend and some days in between). Whenever she was there I and the rest of us had to be extra careful because she would be on our ass, telling me to get off my phone or that I didn’t do some sort of irrelevant small task right. At first I thought “well okay she’s right”. Well then I switched to morning shift and she never gave any of the morning workers shit for doing the same thing. And before that there WAS talk from the evening workers saying that she would criticize them more than morning shift, but I didn’t see it until I started mornings. I tried to justify it by thinking “yeah evening is a little easier than mornings”. But then she started targeting me on the morning shift. All the morning shift workers she was all nicey nicey too but when it came to me she was just a bitch. When we there was a small window of downtime to rest our bodies and relax people would sit and chart and be on their phones while waiting for a computer to open up. I would avoid my phone as much as possible but unlucky me somehow the minute I pick up my phone this case manager would walk over and see me and tell me to get off and she would kind of be rude about it. One time she went through the computer history and saw people playing games or searching up dog websites. She pulled us evening staff into her office to tell us that it’s not okay, and said what she saw. Then she turned to me and said “so (my name), what kind of dog are you planning to get?” And it wasn’t a curious friendly tone, it was extremely accusatory and rude. I never searched any thing up on the computer EVER. This pissed me off so bad. She already had been criticizing me for my work when I was doing absolutely awesome at my job and then to accuse me of something or assume I was the one who did something really pissed me off. I told her “I can’t even get a dog I don’t have a real home!!” Which is true, I don’t have a home I was and still am moving place to place. She just shrugged it off ignored it and changed the topic. That instance really spoke out to me, i finally understood that she was not trying to lay down rules for everyone, she was targeting me. From there on forth she still criticized my work and decisions. For example the phone thing, all the morning staff (her favorites) could be on there phones in front of her but I couldn’t and the evening shift couldn’t either. Her favorite morning staff could catch their breath sitting down but we couldn’t . Soon I switched to morning shift. Worked my fucking ass off. Eventually switched to Baylor shift working 2 16 hour shifts on the weekends sometimes picking up a shift during the week. The weekends were a breeze, got everything done and had down time without a bitch on my ass. But the week day shifts even when she knew I was working Baylor and picking up, she was on MY ass and nobody else’s. Eventually I got sick of the injustices and left. Also, there was a board where us CNAs and RNs could compliment a coworkers work and claim a prize, which the case manager was in charge of and organized, my name was up there a lot and I was never selected in the 15 months I worked there. My case manager also had other residents telling her that they like me and still, she treated me this way. I remember one instance this really stubborn kind of mean lady was walking in the hallway with the coercion of her son, the case manager was talking to her and praising her for walking (she never walks or gets out of the room or lets us do cares) but she saw me in the hallway running to a call light and she said “I LIKE her”. That doesn’t mean anything to you? This hard ass said even SHE likes me? Man. I did so much at that job and I really enjoyed the residents. I am so upset that the employee environment was like that. I’m a travel cna now and all the new people I work with like me alot. Even the dementia patients that are hard to work with, I can see often find a way to get their nice selves to show. People tell me “be careful with this one he/she is aggressive”, but when I work with most of them, I can get them to let me do cares. Like cmon I’m not a very confident or secure person but one thing I do know is that I can work with these people really well.
