(no subject)
Long rant ahead but I am fuming. Little bit of backstory required so bear with me.
We've got this new guy at work, lets call him Bob. He's just been hired as a carer about a month ago. He's on a refugee passport and he's come over with his 2 kids and his wife. I don't know WHY this guy is working as a carer but I suppose it takes all sorts. Normally you don't get guys doing any kind of Nursing. It's hard enough to get some of these little old ladies to accept men seeing them in all sorts of positions let alone some big black dude (old people for the most part, in my experience, are fairly racist). He seems nice enough. His English is barely passable. He has NO skills related to the job and he doesn't seem to have learned what he's doing at all and he's been there over a month and there's absolutely no improvement and he doesn't even seem interested. I mean it's a fairly full on job you expect people to take a while to 'get it' this guy doesn't even seem to care, he just wants the money and all the carers that have to work with him are pulling their hair out. This dude doesn't even know who anybody is after a month, staff or anybody. We've had more than a few whines out the back over dinner about how dangerous the whole situation is and there's more than 1 RN that doesn't want him to be the sole carer on the floor.
Having said all this I've been nice to him tried to help him etc. Haven't really worked with him before, we did one hoist on saturday and he didn't have a fucking CLUE what he was doing (still). So imagine my surprise when management decides to leave me a bitchy note saying I've been accused of bullying him and there's multiple witnesses and this is unacceptable behaviour blah blah blah. I'm thinking what the fuck I've barely even spoken to this guy and I've been nothing but nice as pie despite how bloody useless he is. So I start waving this around to my coworkers because I'm so sick of management being fucking useless at this place of late and eventually have discovered nobody on the shift dobbed me and for what they would dob me in they don't know either. So Jane says hey come show this note to 'Bob' see what he says (bob is on the shift this afternoon). Ever see somebody act so so surprised it was just total bullshit and you knew it? Was like that. "OH I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS". Then he thinks, then he suddenly "remembers" how management 'called' him this morning and asked if he was experiencing any bullying. You could just see that he had gone go management to bitch and whine and there's a note and now he's acting like he doesn't know anything and he's been pressured into talking when it's clear as day he's talking out of his arse.
Then he goes... after all this...
"Who is Nicole?"
ME YOU FUCKING IDIOT. So not only do you want to call me a bully you don't even know who I am. So he's just gone in to management and complained about somebody and he doesn't even know anybodys name. So now I'M in the shit because of this incompetent idiot. He's a danger to the people he's working with and apparently not only is he one of these go rag to management because people can't stand that he's incompetent and have bitched about it (how long does it take to learn? seriously?) He can't even get the right person in trouble and he DOESNT EVEN KNOW MY FUCKING NAME. Could just see the look on his face when I told him that Nicole was infact ME. Like that big oops I've barked up the wrong tree look. Then he starts telling me he would tell me if he had a problem with me he's a Christian blah blah blah.
Straight out liar. So not only is he unsafe and incompetent, he's also a liar.
I can't WAIT to go see management tomorrow... I'm going to explain all of this and if they ask me how he is I'm going to be forthright. I don't believe in going to management unless it's called for but now I've got no choice, I have to get my name cleared because bullying is a huge no-no I could get fired for and now I've got NO sympathy left.
And if management want to tell me otherwise... I quit. I'm so tired of the standard of care there sliding and sliding and getting worse and worse.
