New Management ....Rant Time!

At work we have a new 'manager'. I've been around for 2 other managers and they were lovely people, I got along with them and they ran things smoothly and professionally but were still level headed about things.

New Management. New "Ideas". New Power Trips. New Theories. New Woman.

From the moment I met her I don't know what it was, but something just didn't sit well with me. She's been here oh maybe a month and she is already thinking she has better ways and knows it all...
She worked at Stream. This is a hospital. Any differences? hmmmm...... YES.

From working on call I get to hear all the junk from the day shift, and then the evening shift. A lot of the talk is going on about her right now.
Here is a bit of a rant about this woman
-She is cutting back hours on one on the most crucial positions there - making it three -5hour shifts and two -7.5hour shifts. This annoys me. It's the most hated position to begin with and heck why make it worse with stupid hours? I am not even going to bid on it and that is saying something right there.
- Rolling eyes at staff doesn't seem too professional? or maybe waaay too professional?
- Forcing someone to work (an on-call person) after he had a medical leave -- major surgery and chemo therapy + other cancer treatments.
- Trying to force me to work this weekend (when I have planned to go to Vancouver and on Sunday take my parents out to dinner with Miranda - It's their 25th Wedding Anniversary! ^^)

She is a decent person, don't get me wrong, but ticking people off (that you really need because you are so short staffed to begin with) isn't wise in my book. Causing huge changes when things were finally settling down a tad (a rarity)... could be good but to me the outlook seems bleak.

Also, she was Miranda's manager at stream. She forced a mandatory hour overtime for everyone. Also I heard a story today about a streamer on her contract. He almost assaulted her
and was escorted from the building. Reason being - he was taking bereavement - his grandma passed away and was going to a funeral - plane ticket in hand and the night before he left she called him up and said that he had to work the next day or he was fired on account of other issues. He did end up going to work... irate and raging. and he quit.

Oh, she supposedly also quit before she was fired from that job.

okay okay, there is a lot of steam there. I like to rant. It usually builds up in me until I blow up unless I get to rant to someone. Lately it's Miranda. I'm sorry. It used to be Tim, but he is crazy and never online.

I am thankful that I am taking and LOA for Europe.
I am thankful that this woman doesn't hate me yet and hasn't made me miserable yet.
I am thankful that I have this job and it pays decent and I like the people I work around/with.
I am thankful that I can rant.
I am thankful that I will be going this weekend to Vancouver to visit Miranda.
I am thankful to be able to celebrate a momentous occasion in my parents' lives.
I am thankful I am needed at work so I don't worry about my job too much.
I am thankful to have a union to back me up.
I am thankful to be able to travel all over the place.
I am thankful for my $100 from ol' Gordon Campbell....
now that is a whole different rant right there that I better not even start with.

have a good night y'all
