Do you have one-on-ones with your direct manager? What do you talk about? I’m early in my career, but always struggling with having productive meetings and feeling like my manager and I have somewhat of a relationship.

I have Bi weekly 1on1’s with my manager. Quarterly skip level meetings where her manager. Lastly monthly or as need meetings with my mentor. All are very beneficial for career growth. The conversation should be centered around progression but it shouldn’t hurt to personable (life, hobbies, interest) either. Everyone works for a reason and it’s helpful for people to understand the why behind you. Motivators to pull and areas to improve to push. If you have a healthy work relationship with all parties involve they will benefit as much as you!

Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore?

On the weekends, same responsibilities but 7a-7p. We don't get any additional pay for being in charge and I'm sick of the added responsibility and stress of it.

To you, what makes a good manager? What makes a bad manager?

I’m frustrated as hell with my manager and my career advancement. What makes it worst is, she is a black woman as well. When I first got with the company I received a pay increase prior to what I was making at my old job. But I have over 6 years of experience in finance, agile (non cert but that’s another story), accounting and team building. This experience was all gained without me having my bachelors in Finance and Accounting (I have it now). The rest in the comments…

I would just like to take this time to tell everyone that no matter what your role is, or who you work for.. that we work to live, we don't live to work.

I understand that statement has some degree of privilege.

However when things are all said and done, a lot of us won't be worried about the extra dollars we made or an additional title we got, but what we were able to do with the time we had.
