Better bosses work in caring jobs??
I beg to differ. When in hospital I met some real power trippers, with self inflated ego's, far from sympathetic to people who relied on them.
In my social care job, my boss was an utter cow to me sorry to say. Horrible from the get go!! She was a wannabe, who muscled to her position. She vindictively sent a letter through my door, with information on what occupational health involves. She said on the phone, in a superior tone "is it a flat you live in" the biatch knew fine well where I lived. Kept telling everyone I was leaving to do nursing. I detested being a carer didn't suit me at all. I was going back to education but I knew that nurses were overworked and underpaid and I could never act the martyr.
I was beginning to unravel and I said to an employee I was going to be my own boss. I said to another that she sounded like my mother, and I barely ever let things slip.
