How important do you think it is to consider team/employee cohesion when bringing on someone new? For example, if this person will do great things for the company but will probably not be well-received by existing employees, is that taken into consideration at all?

It depends on the reason as to why they’d not be well-received. Is it because the other team members would be jealous, or because they have formed a clique, or some other ego-driven reason? Because if that’s the case, you should definitely bring in someone different to diversify the pool and disrupt a potential echo chamber. It also depends on how achieved this new person is and how soon they would be able to be productive, particularly if training by other teammates would be required to achieve this productivity.

My boss won’t stop sexually harassing me. Verbally, email, texts - 400+. He even set up his office with a display of sex toys and edibles condiments to show me that he planned to give me oral sex. All started 3 weeks into the job. I moved my family cross country for this job and just bought a house. He promises me none of his requests or my responses will affect my job and is just begging now to be friends with me. Tell me what would you do if you were me.

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.
