I'm gonna quit a job because of my conscience...can J.Lo play me in a movie now?
Wassup everybody? Lately I get that my journal hasn't been the bastion of happiness lately, since I've got what the youth call "problems". I'll be posting random flail about Asian Boybands named "Storm" and REAL (ha ha) bitches livin' in Madrid later, because I've got lots to flail about. But I gotta talk about what I did today.
Pretty much the title is referring to my broke ass and how it's going to soon be broke again because I'm quitting my job after 2 weeks. It pays pretty well, paid breaks, I have internet access once in a while, but the main thing that brings the entire experience down is my boss. And it's not because he's like some bosses which make you stay late without letting you know, or just in general acts like an ass (which he does)--he's literally a horrible person, which I found out today.
I've been having trouble there--it's a clinic and it's really disorganized and the boss knows nothing other than having things for show. The whole damn place is a show--he puts in big screen tvs and humidifiers and shiny lights, but there aren't any bloody doctors. The whole thing is a farce. So today, I'm scheduling appointments, and it's clear that the place is severely understaffed--and I mean SEVERELY. There are these two kids throwing up, and are really sick, and because there's appointments ahead, I can't just let them through. One of the kids vomited on the floor and my boss told them to clean it up--the parents looked so stressed and the kids were crying, so I felt bad and ended up mopping it up (Go me...kid puke.) These patients have literally been waiting HOURS to see doctors.
The thing was, when these parents started complaining about the wait, my boss literally comes out of nowhere and is the biggest asshole you've ever seen. Ever. It descends into some screaming match between all of the patients and the boss, and my boss says super arrogant things like "Well, try finding a doctor to see your kids. You'd better pay my bill first." "Hospital's exist for a reason, lady." ETC.
He then starts yelling at ME for leaving him alone at the front. He's batting for me, he says--protecting us from the mean patients that we left waiting because of his atrocious idea that we should just stuff as many of them in there without recognizing the wait times that'll happen with just 1 doctor. So once again he just starts taking out all his frustration on ME like it's all my fault. I tell him, they're not mad at ME, they're mad at YOU, and my shift is over and I'm going home.
He then tells the parents of the two children that he won't let the doctor see them. The parents say he has no right to do that just because they called him out for being an arrogant dickhead. He then comes to me and yells at me AGAIN.
"I want those women's files to be put at the bottom of the pile. Let them stay here forever for all I care."
"Excuse me?"
"What did I say? Look at how they yelled at me. How rude they are. If you can't handle this why the hell did I hire you?"
"This isn't my fault. I'm not going to do that...their kids are sick, and they're frustrated. You can't punish them like this for being mad at you."
"They were rude to me. I AM YOUR BOSS. I WRITE YOUR CHEQUE. PUT THEIR FILES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PILE!"
I go out and he tells me to not look at them because they were calling me things like incompetent etc. etc. The thing is though, when the doctor came out to see what was going on (by this point the whole damn clinic was screaming at each other), the women pointed at my boss and said "HE'S AN ASSHOLE", but then pointed at me and said "She's great". I'm gonna take a wild guess and say my boss was lying.
I was thinking of keeping the job until now--it's hard finding work anywhere these days, and I don't know if I have the right to complain about having a rude boss. But anyone who treats people like that, without compassion--who expects me to treat people without compassion....I don't think I can stay in that environment.
So, my broke ass is once again broke.
But I don't feel too bad about it.
