Still at my job... we are still short staffed and I'm doing 60+ hours a week with one day off per week. I'm pretty sure the director is making sure I'm the one scheduled as I'm salaried and therefore don't get overtime pay like any of the hourly people would so it doesn't increase the payroll costs. She says that I'm the only one available but I'm pretty sure that some of the others would take the extra shifts if they were offered overtime.
I'm doing my actual job in between the stuff she has me doing but even that is falling behind with all the extra crap and being pulled into the kitchen for things like food prep, putting up the trucks, tray building, and dishes. I end up trying to get in my resident/patient rounds and charting when I can.
I put in for a transfer to another facility but haven't heard anything about it yet and I applied for a few other positions. I was offered one so far that I'm considering. It pays a lot more but the patient load is almost double what I have now, PTO is less than half of what I have now, there is no room for promotion, and I'd be relocating to the Daytona, FL area. I'm thinking it might be worth it just to get out of where I am now and if I don't like it I can keep looking for something better while being back to 40 hour weeks with 2 days off a week.
I'm on the verge of a toddler style meltdown and feel like crap all the time. I passed up an awesome opportunity because the director told me when she started I have to give at least 30 days notice, that I should give her a chance, and she promised me it would get better. All lies... I checked with corporate and I have to give 2 weeks but 30 days is preferred and things are worse than they have been. I should have just left... The past is the past and I can't change it. I do have an Indeed alert set up in case they advertise for another position. I am so done...
