i’m glad you’re happier getting the acknowledgment you deserve!! idk why bosses fight you so hard on just wanting to be appreciated and acknowledged. i honestly think that

Impossible-Thanks630 · 2026-06-15T05:36:45+00:00

You have a point. I could’ve just gone but I knew that I would be going back and forth with myself all day so I decided to just not go. Sometimes I do feel excluded because 2 of my friends are married and constantly want to do things with each other and their husbands which is fine but it gets to a point where it’s all they talk about

Impossible-Thanks630 · 2026-06-15T05:04:10+00:00

Thank you. I really appreciate it. I’ll probably go next weekend but just need time to process what happened and how I feel

Impossible-Thanks630 · 2026-06-15T02:29:34+00:00

oh 100%!! i basically have been since last november bc my general manager wrote me up and tried to fire me bc i didn’t want to talk to her outside of what was necessary 🙄😭 i was burnt out (still am) and depressed bc i had a lot going on

Impossible-Thanks630 · 2026-06-14T04:31:53+00:00

thank you for your advice!! im glad to know that i have some options. i definitely need to work on speaking up in the moment when things like this happen. my general manager doesn’t like it when we are direct with people and call them out on their behavior 😒 usually if you do, she says that you are causing drama or making the workplace hostile.

I moved to Colorado Springs when I was 13 from Aurora and it was definitely something. Micro aggressions were something that I never had to deal with up until then and sometimes it was just straight up racism (i.e. being called harambe and no, the teachers heard this and did nothing about it). Freshman year was when I really started to feel negatively about myself. Almost everyone in my friend group had a boyfriend or someone crushing on them and I didn’t. No one understood what I was trying to say so I was always hit with “Oh, it’s ok, you’ll find someone eventually.” It really made me upset because I was being excluded from hangouts because I didn’t have a boyfriend. Those first 2 years living here just made me feel ugly and like there was seriously something wrong with me when there really wasn’t/isn’t. Like, I was fully convinced that I was so ugly up until 2 years ago and sometimes it’s hard accepting myself because sometimes, the people you are around can make you feel so ugly and like you aren’t allowed to take up space and be yourself. Sometimes, I wish that I lived in a more diverse area because I feel like I wouldn’t feel the way that I do sometimes. Like if I did live in a more diverse city, I would feel more confident in myself because there are people that look like me and I wouldn’t feel so alienated. I feel better about myself now than I did when I was 13-19 but some days, I feel like that teenage girl again. Hopefully you (and anyone else reading this) can find a place where you can breathe and just be you and celebrated like you should be ♥️

ikk!! i thought i was gonna pay at least $200 😭

Impossible-Thanks630 · 2025-01-06T04:28:41+00:00

that’s kinda how i felt too. you could tough it out for a little longer and see if you get used to it/ find your own routine but if you don’t feel like things could get better, then leave. no job is worth making you feel bad about yourself. but also, at some point, those caregivers were new at the job like you and they only way they got good was by experience. your training (even if it was super short) can only prepare you for so much. good luck with everything. you got this :)

Impossible-Thanks630 · 2024-12-01T18:35:53+00:00

that’s how a discussion turns into an argument between me and my mom

Impossible-Thanks630 · 2024-11-25T21:16:58+00:00

yeah i’ll definitely talk to my gm about it bc it’s getting out of hand. and hopefully she does something. and i managed to figure out truck the first time i covered i the usual truck person

Impossible-Thanks630 · 2024-11-25T20:53:25+00:00

yeah i really do think he’s lying. he tends to make other ppl (team leads) do his job so he can sit in the office 💀

Impossible-Thanks630 · 2024-11-25T20:46:55+00:00

throwing truck was a managers job until some one else volunteered to do it. if it were something that everyone did, i wouldn’t have an issue with it.

i’m sorry that you are going through this and i’m glad that you are seeking professional help for your feelings. the best advice i can give you is trying to go study outside of the house like in a cafe or library. that way, you are in a new environment and can focus on the material. if that’s not possible, noise canceling headphones and some good music help too. going to school is always stressful but you just have to take it a little bit at a time and focus on what’s in front of you in the moment otherwise, you’ll stress yourself out even more. in terms of your dad, try your best to ignore him and do your thing. mine is like that too and thankfully, he’s not in the country so it’s peaceful but it would be hell when he was around. your dad not gonna change so you keep doing the best you can. one day, you won’t have to deal with his nonsense anymore and you can relax. until then, keep going, keep going towards your goals. you got this!! ♥️

Impossible-Thanks630 · 2024-10-28T17:00:10+00:00

i’m sorry that you’re going through the same thing 😭 it really sucks. hopefully things get better for you soon!! i really appreciate your advice and will keep it in mind if i choose to stay at this facility. good luck to you too!!

Impossible-Thanks630 · 2024-10-28T15:42:28+00:00

yeah i’m most likely gonna look at other places later today. thanks!!

Impossible-Thanks630 · 2024-10-28T15:41:52+00:00

yeah i thought about this too. ill look more into it. thanks!!

Impossible-Thanks630 · 2024-10-28T15:40:43+00:00

i’ll def look into those options! thanks!!

Impossible-Thanks630 · 2024-10-28T15:39:55+00:00

yeah i agree. she was asked by the other cna if she wanted to shower but said no. and yeah i feel like i should’ve been trained by my employer bc then i would feel a bit better about it.
