Good morning y’all! I hope you have had a pleasant week and you are feeling the best you can. Y’all probably already know this from my previous post that this week has been something close to torture. I feel like anything that could go wrong, did gone wrong, and all things consider it was a very disappointing week. The job I thought would be the perfect job for me has been a terrible experience. I did enjoy this type of work in the past and I was very good successful with it, has been anything but perfect.
I can’t imagine things with Property Management has really changed this drastically towards the negative. I think the real reason why I feel like this is WAY more because of a horrible mixture between a manager that doesn’t have a clue how to treat residents and employees and a management company that doesn’t have things organized what so ever!
I have been trying my best to look past the negative and just view this as just a paycheck. This hasn’t been easy for me because the treatment of residents and employees it unfair and not acceptable. The way I am being scheduled to work is awful and I am honestly not capable. I am scheduled to work 7 days in a row with NO break! Truthfully, working just 5 days in a row gets difficult for me causing extreme fatigue and so much additional pain. None of this is healthy for me and could potentially cause a relapse and absolutely NO job, co-worker, MANAGER, friend, family member or anyone else you may come in contact with.
So now that I have vented my weeks frustration, I think we could use a little pick-me-up! I find the quote I am sharing with y’all today powerful and motivating.
Thank you so much for visiting my site today! I always enjoy reading your comments and the additional communication we all share. I hope you have a wonderful day and you are focusing on the weekend! Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love , comfort, and many positive vibes!
Always, Alyssa

I am so sorry that I have fallen so far behind, but I will definitely check your blog out. The past 2 weeks have been hell and I hope next week will get better. One way or another, it has to get better.

You have a strong work ethic, like I use to have. Taking pride, and caring to deeply about the job.
I understand when you say, “It’s just a paycheck” – but in reality, I understand exactly where you’re coming from.
Why on earth are you pushing 7 days a week?

I have always had a strong work ethic and I can’t change that about me. I do the best I can to listen to residents when they need to vent and even though there is not much I can do for them, having someone to listen and empathize is all they really want. I tried to just think of this job as “just a paycheck”, but some of these residents are actually very nice. They pay too much money for their apartment to be ignored. Oh they tried scheduling me 7 days in a row, but I was very vocal when I said it just wasn’t possible for me. The boss can either understand and not give me a hard time or he can let me go! When I say he is an ignorant ass, that is being kind!

My last company is where I became very vocal. I hated seeing my guys spoken down to and would stand up for them each and every time.
My boss & I would butt heads, but at the end of the day, he had the utmost respect for me, because of my work ethic… besides busting my ass. LOL!

I really wish I could say the same about my jackass boss, but he doesn’t respect me or the residents. I am trying to take it slow, but I need another job because the stress this place is causing me is unhealthy. Hell, I have been having nightmares about it.

I was just thinking recently how everything that could go wrong, has gone wrong in my week, and you said the exact same. Your week… well, it sounds very sucky! I’ve been in the situation of knowing things have been unfair with the treatment of clients and employees, and I eventually spoke up and left. It’s hard to see beyond something if it’s profound enough to affect you and your morals, even if it is a pay check at the end of the day. 7 days in a row is NOT cool, and neither is all the stress you’re under. So when do you get a day off..? I know you – and all of us reading, had hoped this job would have been better than the last, somewhere a little more long term. But you have to do what’s best for you, so I hope the 7 day stretch ends soon so that you can take a break, and maybe think about where to go from here with it. Sending hugs ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I guess great minds think a like Caz! It really does seem that many people had the same things happen this week or not happen. It has actually been a sucky 2 weeks, but I was trying to push on and not allow it to bring me down. I have very strong morals and do not like seeing people mistreated. It doesn’t matter if they are nice residents, rude resident, nice employees or rude employees, everyone should be treated with respect! I stood up for myself and put my health first, I have refused to work 7 days in a row. Honestly, 5 is hard enough. I had high hopes for this job, but also had some concerns. I guess we live and learn and I of course still believe that everything happens for a reason. I am going to take my time and figure out what exactly I want for a job. I am NOT going to settle for less than I deserve. If it wasn’t for all that horrible things I have witness with this job, I would feel like a failure, but nothing that has happened is my fault. I have always been told that it is easier to find a new job when you have a job, so we will see what happens next. I can’t rush things along and I can’t be without insurance, so this place serves a purpose. Thank you SO much for caring and always providing me with so much support! I am very thankful for you Caz!!! I hope you are doing well and you have a excellent weekend!!! xxx

Oh Alyssa, I’m so sorry to hear things haven’t improved. That is a ridiculous schedule for anyone to maintain, I don’t know how you can do it with MS. Are there no labour laws against that sort of thing? It’s really, really hard to understand where people are coming from sometimes, isn’t it? I hope you can banish their incompetence from your mind and enjoy your weekend! Hugs to you! 💕

Thank you Amanda! For the first time in a long time I stood up for myself and put me and my health ahead of a job. I am refusing to work 7 days in a row. Sadly, it is hard enough for me to do 5, so there is no way I could do 7. My boss is very incompetent and a unpleasant person. Instead of dwelling on how awful things are, I am going to put my efforts into finding the job I deserve because I do deserve better! Thank you so much for your kindness and support Amanda!!!

Oh wow I hope it gets better for you!
My job is amazing. I work for a company that gives the gift of hearing. It’s so amazing. They do mission trips and give away hearing aids to people who wouldn’t be able to get them. They start everyday out praying for the patients and a mission statement subject. It’s an amazing place. I waited till God brought the right job. It was hard because I turned down a lot of job that looked like the right one but they weren’t. So I’m blessed and finally better. It lifted my spirits and everyone in my family is so happy! So thankful for that ❤

I hate to complain about the job, but I really can’t physically handle 7 days in a row. I am planning to speak one on one with my manager on Tuesday when he is back. Or I may send him and his boss an email, I haven’t decided yet. What I can say is, I am not doing the 7 days in a row!! I hope you had a lovely weekend!
