I have not had one moment to myself today at work. Everyone is in a frenzy because the state is making it's yearly appearance Wednesday-Friday. So we are all running around trying to make sure everyone is doing what they are suppose to be doing. It is very exhausting. It's only Monday, but I can't wait for this week to be over.
I have a few techs that feel they do not have to follow the chain of command when it comes to complaints. Two techs went above me and the program manager for that unit to our main boss. They are now on my shit list. I had one tech that went above everyone in our agency and went straight to the state. That one tech is on my shit list and everyone above me. Then I had one tech that was complaining about doing some online safety courses and told the President of our company that I told her that she needed to talk to him to deal with it. That is a huge problem and that person is so on my shit list now.
This Saturday I am meeting with all my techs for our monthly meeting. They are not going to be happy at the end of the meeting. I am so furious with them that I think I need a few days to process all that has happened.
And why have all the techs done this? For the simple fact that I am insisting that they do their job. This is the first time in 9 months that they have had a supervisor that actually made sure they were doing their job. They don't realize that I love my job and I am sticking around for a long time. So, they better get used to me and start doing their job.
End Rant.

Wow! I can't believe someone would go to the STATE. I'm not sure, but from your entries it sounds like you work in a nursing home? My mom is an activity director at one, and i know how stressing the state visits are! what exactly do the techs do?
audra--i work in a drug/alcohol treatment center, so i guess it is kind of similiar to a nursing home. (i worked in one right after getting my masters) the techs do groups and supervise the clients in the evenings and on weekends. it's not a hard job if you just do what you are suppose to do.
It amazes me that people bitch that they have to do their jobs.So can you write these people up for not following protocol? It sounds like they need a good shakeup and you are giving to them the way a supervisor should.
Good luck with the State visit, those can be so nervewracking!
the mind set of people at the tech level is often so poor. I hope you can find a way to keep yourself sane! And good luck with the State; those visits are so harrowing!
