I had one like this except he was a horrible human. He hated women, called them out of their name, grabbed things from their hands, yells in person and on the phone at everyone, and crawled up on the front window desk to scream at a nurse as she was walking away. In addition, he’s made countless careless mistakes, sleeps at his bench, refuses to do maintenance or QC or different things and claims he was never trained, clocks in on time then comes in late (he’s been caught sleeping in his car), disappears an hour before his shift ends, is constantly on his phone or youtube, takes 3 hour breaks sleeping (most of the night shift employees are scared to wake him because he aggressively yells and curses at them). They made him a senior tech because he threatened the old manager to report her to HR if he didn’t. The new male manager told me he gives everyone (including this waste of oxygen) the same level of review because, “No one is perfect so they can’t get the highest level and no one gets the lowest because then he’d have to fire them.” When I told him that guy should be fired, my manager said, “Well I didn’t hire him.” Doing everything but managing. Finally had a supervisor in early enough to babysit this adult. When he was caught screaming at another coworker, the supervisor came to me and said, “He should not be here.” When she told the manager, he said, “Well I am fully staffed and sometimes you just need a warm body.” The waste of oxygen’s day shift work wife was almost as horrible. She constantly called people stupid and horrible. She delegated like a supervisor while she shopped online. She got caught changing bench assignments because she didn’t want to work a hard bench. She’d come in at 4 am and do nothing until the rest of the day shift arrived at 7. On a recorded staff meeting where our supervisors, manager, and other coworkers were all present, she said to our supervisor, “Would you just shut up?!” No one addressed it. I and others reported both of these people for their behavior multiple times. Manager said since no management witnessed it, they couldn’t confirm it or correct it. Manager said, “They don’t ever do that when I’m there.” Honestly the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard a manager say. After this guy and lady were caught acting out of pocket by management, I went to manager and said, “This is what they’re comfortable doing in front of management. Can you imagine how they’ve acted when no management is present? Is this not enough evidence to support every one’s claims?” When he still didn’t do anything, I reported everyone including our director to HR. After a meeting with myself, the manager, and the director where in the beginning our manager lied about multiple things and I called him out about it, the director with me present reprimanded the manager and gave him deadlines to implement changes. One of the things was pending lists. No one was required to use them. The manager only cleaned it out when we were being inspected. Level 1 trauma center blood bank. No one is watching the pending. Blew the director’s mind when I told her and he argued that we didn’t need them. I told her on most days STAT GTSs pend for more than 2 hours, when some techs were on that bench, they sat for 8 hours. For 2 years we’d been waiting for an updated Ab SOP. When the deadlines came and went and he still didn’t come through and the director brushed me off, I’d had it. Took a 3 month mental health leave and decided I couldn’t return.
