My coworkers are really judgemental towards our clients. Not outwardly but behind the scenes. It is really unfair when most of these clients are polite and give no reason for anyone to think they are otherwise. I don't know how to deal with things like this without being rude.

I can understand why this bugs you, but it's also just a way for people to blow off steam at work. I don't think it's very personal or has any real negative effect on the people. It's just a way to pass the time/feel camaraderie with your colleagues.

Oh. In this situation, the best thing to do was to talk to your coworkers directly and remind them that you should all be treating our clients with respect and that any personal judgements should stay out of the workplace.

I just ignore them and move on. I'm there to work. Unfortunately, i stay out of other people's business. I know it bothers you but best to leave it alone and stay out of it.

I used to stand up for what was right, but now I would recommend that you do your own job without such biases and mind your business as your own higher moral standards will be a threat to your colleagues and they will turn on you

Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore? For us being in charge is having full assignment 3p-7p & being responsible for assigning pts , communicating w/ supervisor about various issues, making the assignment for next shift, and a mini report about each pt for the next charge. 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.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
