I have worked with the same lazy people for over two years now. What have I come to discover? One is pretty evil and other is a vegetable! I have seen laziness come and go, but these two are pretty malicious. It could be culturally because of their caste system, kissing up to the Caucasian because someone how they are superior in their eyes.
I found it funny because they have been there a lot longer than I have and they are still working the same position. Teamwork does not exist in their cultural, but does in the world of nurses (or at least should). I know I sound racist, but it has gotten to the point where I see it all the time with this ethnicity.
Example #1: At my workplace, lets call them the brown noser and vegetable. Brown noser acts busy, but really is doing nothing, she is searching for mistakes that other people make. Then there is the vegetable that is not only manipulative, but blows things out of proportion. Those two love going to the "DON" to show the mistakes of others, which I think is terrible. Nurses are supposed to have each other's back, but sadly everyone wants to get ahead, only to be found walking in place. These two have never no idea how to critically think, yet alone admit a patient without passing it along.
I have been stabbed in the back like anyone else, but this time it has gone to far! Nurses make mistakes all the times, even the ones that claim they have never made a med error is full of crap! I am the type that tries to be helpful, even though I know it is there laziness.
The brown noser loves to preach about her Christianity, but we all know she's a two faced hypocrite that sleeps wonderfully at night. She bitched to me about wanting to go to church, but had to go back to her country because her relative was dying, WTF?! Then there is the vegetable that goes on and on about how she doesn't have to work, trying to make it seem like she's the bored housewife. This is the one that loves to give me parenting advise, please woman! I know my marriage is stronger than hers because I do not believe in infidelity and secondly I have a strong relationship with my children. Sending your children to a fancy school, trying to be a tiger mom, is not called parenting!
Example #2 My children have a friend from this particular culture, she was telling me her parents want her to be a doctor. I asked her if that is what she wants to do and her response was "they make a lot money". Oh boy! Money is not everything and it is sad that her parents have instilled this in head. You become a doctor because you want to help people or discover a cure for an incurable disease. Not because of money! May be this is why the idea of being a doctor is no longer prestigious as it used to be. Of course I never said any of this to her.
Example #3 My neighbors. They have been pretty friendly to us, but when they have issues with stuff they think my husband is going to come over and fix it. I am sorry our cheap fucks, go hire someone, my husband is not your handyman! They are also the ones that sit with our neighbors that never acknowledge us (they are Caucasian) because in their mind they are more superior.
I pity these fools because money and backstabbing is not going to get you far in life. You will be poor in your heart treating others as servants. I worked with a resident in a long term facility and their family treated everyone like trash. I'm sorry, your mother is a Medicaid recipient, technically my tax paying dollars is paying for her stay. If you are so wealthy and high class you would put her in a fancy facility!
I look at vegetable and brown noser, I feel sorry for them. They will always think reporting someone to upper management will get them far, but sadly you are seen as the snitch and not a team player. They have been working at the same facility, passing along their work, and tattle telling the entire time. Sadly, you do not have the manager title behind your name and your co-workers all hate you.
