(no subject)

I'm getting so I hate training new people. Number one? They almost never stay, once they get a taste of what we really do, and of what's expected. I was told to basically LIE and not tell them that they WILL end up, at some point, doing a wing alone. This latest example? Well.

a) Has a second full-time job, which means I'm pretty much dragging a 250 lb. weight around with me, all night..

b) Major language barrier. I told him to PLEASE tell me if he doesn't understand something, NOT to just nod and smile and pretend he does. I can get by in other languages besides english, so lay it on me, if it's a problem.

c) Seems to disappear a great lot. Yes, I know that you are capable of wiping a butt, BUT you are to stay with me, your mentor, to learn what ELSE is required - and yes, I know it's a lot and said so, several times. I've been patient. And yes, I know that that other CNA is prettier - and I don't blame you for wanting to follow her around - but she is from dayshift and their routine and imperatives differ greatly.

d) The Input/Output sheet is NOT to be torn up to give other employees your phone number. You're married, anyway; we see your ring..

Tonight, buddy, we're going to see how much you've listened. I've written notes on your sheet MYSELF, since you didn't seem to think these things were important, and I've done the lion's share of the work, in order to not, 'scare you away' - I'm very, very easygoing, and yes, I know that speed comes with time and that precision and details are more important, at this point, but - GAH. Time to step it up.

Thank God the weekend starts tomorrow.
