Wheeeee

 

Wasn't that bad, tbh.

Last time I was ordered to do a twelve hour shift, I walked off before even my regular shift was over.  Boss had to find somebody else.  Nothing he could have done to stop me, either.  Some things just supersede the department head's authority.

Ive worked a 16hr shift and ill never do that again

Sixteen?  I tried that back when I worked at the Holmhurst.  Ditto... it's not to be repeated.  What's up with bosses and their overtime demands, anyway?  When they're short staffed, it's time to hire more people.  They act like they own people like they own appliances.

what did you do

 

Got to witness a client in a behavior for like 5 hours. She started choking another client, then calmed down for a bit, then went after the same client again but was able to be redirected, then calmed down a bit, then went after the same client yet again and started pulling her hair and was escorted to her room til she fell asleep.

I might have to work those sometimes. That's why I went in at 10am when I don't have to start until 2pm. If I started at my normal time they could make me work my shift plus all of third. :| If I go in early they could still make me stay until 2am but I think it's hard for them to find people to come in at that hour to cover so I think the people that come in at 2pm are more likely to get mandated to 3rd.

 

We are very short staffed right now.

I found my brain turns to mush if I work anything over 10 hours, when I was working 12's I'd just burn the last 2 hours cleaning because at that point I was going to do more harm to a part than good.
