What a sitiuation we find ourselves in at work. I've worked for my employer for a total of 10 years. Yet my boss doesn't seem to believe a thing I say nor does he listen to my opinions on anything. In fact, he doesn't listen to the opinions of any of the nurses. He's made a receptionist, who couldn't manage the basics of that job, practice manager, despite the fact the only experience she's got in the dental setting is sitting admiring her nails at the desk. Now she's the PM, she thinks everything will go her way & she also sneaks into the surgery in the evening when everyone's finished to bitch about the nurses to the boss. Yet, he takes her word as gospel & doesn't want to hear anything from anyone else. To say the least, it's frustrating for me. She was only in the receptionist's post a year. I know how the practice runs, it was me, after all, who taught the last manager about filling out the ledger & how to do the wages. All 5 nurses now want to leave the practice because our new PM is causing so many problems & grief. Is this what it will take for him to realise there is a problem?!
He took one of the other nurses aside the other day to say he'd heard that some staff were applying for other jobs. We tried talking to him, as a group, the other day & he walked out the room. We've tried talking to him individually about the problems at the practice, but he doesn't listen.
It's reached fever point where no nurses actually want to turn up for work because they can't be bothered with the strife. We all get on as a whole, & to be honest, have actually written to a new practice opening locally, as a team looking for jobs. We're a really good team of nurses & would hate to see any other leave the team as it would leave a hole. But we can't go on the way we're going, it's not good for our health!
Has anyone else been in this situation, & if so, what happened? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
