I work in the dialysis clinic three days a week. Our boss is very, very difficult.....yesterday he screamed at his wife and today I have to work with him. He is very arrogant and has zero social skills.......puts on a good first impression and it's downhill from there.....I have to have a job and it really depresses me to know that I'll have to be with him all day, knowing that he can blow up in a second and attack whomever is standing there. (whom or who?) I go to work at 11 a.m. and will be there til 5:30. I did get a call from an agency asking me to work three days for them and the woman is going to try to arrange to alternate my days around this job. But this coming in on Tuesday is a new thing and I'm afraid he'll be mad if I ask to only work MWF........help!! suggestions???????

I forgot to tell you that I had a psych evaluation and she put me on Vistaril and it makes me extremely jittery.......???? so, the meds are making me feel stranger than I ordinarily feel.....p

{{{{{{{{{{{{Pat}}}}}}}}}}}} I hate it that someone as good as you has to put up with that kind of crap. Would it help to remember that when this guy gets ugly, it's about him, not YOU ? I know, it's the fall out that's crappy, but just don't let it get under your skin.

Why worry if he's going to get mad or not? Go for the other job and if he doesn't like it, let him fire you or you can quit! The jobs are coming in now. You'll get a second one if you need it.

Onward and upward, Gal!

Sounds like a big jerk! It's so hard to work for someone you don't like. Maybe the agency will turn into something bigger and better and you can leave. I've got my fingers crossed that things will get better!

Thanks, guys.......I stopped the vistaril...feel much better. And for Tuesday, one of the women that works there went in the exam rooms with him and I did the sign ins and the phones.......He blew up at the office manager, but I side stepped that...I have another place that called me for an interview and I'm going to try to do that today. Yesterday I worked from 6:30 til 5:30 and he asked me to be in with him for some minor surgery. It went well. I sorta think that he is afraid to blow up on me because he knows that I know all of his peers and I suspect he's afraid I would tell them about it. I wouldn't, but...........plus one of my best friends, the ER doc, really carried on and on with him this week about my work ethic and etc....so, maybe he won't go off on me...anyway, I'm looking for another job. will keep this one til i find something else. the atmosphere there is the weirdest i've ever, ever seen....no team feeling.....everyone gossips and tries to start crap.......very divisive RN that is over the unit........she said she's going to quit, but the reality of that, i think, is that she's burned all her bridges in this town....so i don't think she is going to leave the only job that can get...that's mean of me, but she's impossible.......the patients beg other people to stick them because she's so rough and you can imagine how my soft heart takes that........... thanks, again, guys....i'm doing better.........xoxoxo pat p.s. i will actually talk to the doc's wife if the other job works out.....
