Worked yesterday evening and Friday and working this afternoon. There were meetings with the union about staffing so the fool in charge is making the Num (nursing unit manager, aka charge sister). Why do they perpetually change titles? Making the num write the roster she has not in 30 plus years in that job managed to write a decent roster so the sickies will go up. The first one she wrote she put all the casual people on whatever shifts she thought and way more shifts than they wanted. People work casual so they take the shifts they want and as many as they want.
The nurse who usually writes the roster said look what if I just keep writing it and you sign off on it but the Num is too frightened of management and suspects they want her out, which of course they have for years. She is cunning and a liar so they haven't nailed her yet, I think age will get her first she looks unwell. I have asked for 6 months long service leave and I taking a sickie next Friday.
