TEMECULA VALLEY HOSPITAL HEARTBREAK.. INSPIRED BY COWORKERS..

TEMECULA VALLEY HOSPITAL HEARTBREAK . INSPIRED BY COWORKERS..

  First off ,I want to say thank you to Sharon , shes was my supervisor at Inland Valley Hospital and she advised about or warned me about going to Temecula Valley, and it was a tough move I talked about it with my wife and after further thought I decided to make the transfer ,, 

  So , I get hired , but I was hired as a part time employee, which was a minor shock,? I could of sworn, the Supply Director said I was a fulltime hire. But it should of been a red flag.. But I figured I mis heard what he said.. 

 So , when I arrived I was greeted by the crew . No names , just nick names we had one black guy , I will call him CNN , always on, always talking/. I mean I thought I was talker , he took to a whole new level.. He would or could talk about nothing and say nothing but say alot ? Does that make sense? What bothered me about him was he over thought things, Funny some of my friends say that to me.. I was wondering is God trying to tell me something ? , by exposing me to someone  that was like me.. We had good times, listening to music and talking  shit to one another, It was like a party,, He was different.. 

 Then you have the quiet one.. He's this laid back guy who worked hard and knew his stuff, but he also was wise beyond his years, yes he complained but , he liked to get his job done, He was the type that didn't want to make waves, even though things were messed up..

 The New guy.. We got hired together from agency but I was first to be hired straight on with hospital .. he was good worker , but he would at times try to side with the director. It didn't ride well with the other guys. because we are a team. The Supply director, put lots of stress on everyone there, especially the ones that were there for years. I saw how hard he pushed these guys and they kept doing it. When I got there , I resisted but eventually I gave in and did what they were doing. Being walked on and bossed around.. It was horrible working long hours and many days and always being blamed for things if something went wrong> But when things went well, yea we would get some props, but more so than anything. We got reamed about things especially if one of the co workers complained about us.. I mean we had no time to relax in this job. It was non stop!!, I mean we supplied the Hospital supply rooms. It was a daily core to maintain the levels.. Plus the one thing the Dr's and Nurses were never satisfied. !!

 The old guy.. well actually he was about my age.. But oh was he a grumpy old man..!! haha  He talked about consoiracy theories, about rumors , gossip , etc. If you wanted your business out there , just tell him.!!I recall , I told him about Navy stuff and he didnt believe me? I said if you feel its bull shit then dont talk to me!!.. Man, he was a irritant and pain.!!. But the Supply Director took his side.,, maybe because he was white.? I'\m not a racist but he did get away with alot things , we the minorities could  not get away with, .. like working less..  or having his job or duties placed on our already busy plate. 

 Now the final straw, I was working 40-80 hour work weeks , and I would come in on my day offs even , well One day . on my scheduled day off, I came in, and of course things were busy, and I was having my rants ,, The boss was around , but this  guy was a sneak, ninja.,, he could sneak into a room and you wouldn't even notice him. Well anyways,, I said things like its a good thing I answer my phone especially if I'm at home doing things with my family, I mean nothing rude or lewd, Its the honest truth.. But I always picked up and I always came into work. Except one day, where I was really busy doing things with my family. I think I was out of town at a outdoor gun range.. And I;m one of those types when I'm enagaged in something imprtant or needs utmost attention ,I dont answer or look for my cell phone. I even turn it off .. well Im sure it angered him I didnt answer him.. In other words I blew him off. Yea he's my boss , but if Im busy, I'm busy,, Over working  the four of us when you probably needed 2 more people, would of helped morale.. \!!

    Well back to the final straw,, I was finishing up my daily duties on my computer station.. I got a call from the Director, and he asked about some materials that  weren't   delivered, I mean get this Its was my scheduled day off but come in... , we are busy doing our taskings. But he  didnt care. and when he said there's a hospital order that all workers are required to be on call 24/7 and have a secondary phone number so he could get in touch with me? 

Imagine that? I mean first off I'm a part time worker .. !! So its obvious he wanted a reaction and I told him I don't appreciate being spoke to that way and I have nothing else to say to you !! Moments later , I emailed HR I was quitting on the spot and texted Supply Director I quit.. He texted back sorry to hear that and I need you work badge back.. What the hell? I give him my all , come in on my day off , and this is how I get treated ..Like a number..?  like a nobody.? . I was upset!! , and my co worker CNN knew  I was pissed. I told him about the Directors demands,  He says I don't blame you..But I cant quit on the spot like you did.. When I think back,, I know I put those guys in a bind. But I felt so disrespected and un appreciated that I couldn't take it anymore., I mean.Over working people gets to people,. I know  I was in the military and did similar hours and such,, but all that created stress in my life.. Sleep apnea.Headaches. trouble sleeping are all my daily dealings.. It finally got to me. !!

  Final outcome .. All the workers transfered to other depts. I created a revolution.. Thus the Supply Director was fired , let go.. whatever.. I never want anyone to lose their livelihood , but in this case it could happen to an bigger ass hole.. and good riddance.The misery ,the stress he created on those above mentioned guys and myself.. was just too much.. !! 

   I'm want to say sorry to my co workers , I know MY departure put everyone in a bind, and I'm sure you guys .. got pissed off!! , and that I never came back to say good bye was really hurting too. I mean he hurt me,not you guys.!!  But I'm sure you guys felt betrayed , felt unloved or what? I dont blame you for ALL the things you felt or thought. !! .. Its your own  feelings  and thoughts.. I got upset, but I had enough and it was time !! . I'm glad all of you have moved on and doing well.!! 

   I hope if we should meet again ., I will greet all you with respect and care and let you guys know. I really enjoyed working with you.. May you find peace and love in your lives.
