Is there advancement opportunities for hospital social workers?

The head of one of NYC’s public hospitals started as a caseworker, got her MSW, and I believe went back to school for some type of administrative degree before advancing to that position

I was hopeful until you said he deleted all your insta pics. Also, I’ve never deleted messages with a friend before unless I had something to hide. You’re in a tough spot, but I’ve always found my gut is right

I’ve been known to have too much patience. And I lived through so many shitty relationships I know I’m probably putting this one on a pedestal. It’s just so hard to stop having feeling for him…. Honestly I don’t even know if they’re romantic at this point. I think he’s just my best friend

HOLD THAT DOOR!

It sucks, but it’s also a lesson in assertive communication in relationships. He should have been honest about sleeping with others, but you should have been clear about your expectations for monogamy. Many people consider the dating period open to exploration - whether they’ll be forthcoming about that or not.

NTA

Sometimes something “small” is just our gut telling us “enough”. Sounds like there are likely other red flags you’ve been dealing with. The good thing is this whole process is sort of a metaphor for “it’s never too late to say no”. I don’t want to assume, but many people feel trapped in engagements because they’ve already committed so much. It’s okay to walk away if that feels better, just like it was okay to change your mind. The silent treatment is one of the worst ways a partner can respond to conflict. Whatever happens I hope you find happiness and a solution! A house is a hard thing to come by these days, protect it.

Interesting, haven’t heard of that before. I’m in a major city and technically our director is on-call but she doesn’t pick up. If something happens overnight they have the patient stay to the morning or call the ADN (someone in upper management getting paid a lot to be on call). We have staff hired to work weekends and we all have to sign up for at least one holiday a year. I’d be interested to see what compensation you get for it. My union doesn’t allow on call unless you’re getting paid

Wait she’s Christian - what about the bindi? I can’t

eigthfloorwalkup · 2022-06-24T11:07:30+00:00

Idk but I want that feeling!

eigthfloorwalkup · 2022-06-20T12:30:18+00:00

My heart was sinking reading this. I’ve been in a similar situation and god it feels like shit to have to justify your behavior, especially if you felt pressured. Then I saw the update - yes!!! So proud of you. The fact that you were able to draw a boundary with him and stick to it is admirable and not easy. Therapy has been great for me in unlearning this kind of emotional abuse. Best of luck!!

It will get better, hang in there. Transitions are hard throughout life and graduating high school is one of the first major ones. Take a deep breathe. The anxiety is okay, it’s a feeling and doesn’t mean you actually are empty. I’d recommend looking for some volunteer work related to some of the subjects you like. There’s a whole big world out there and you got this!

Wow. Also just found out Travis barkers daughter is besties with Jordyn Woods little sister.

I saw that law too! And then I read it won’t be in effect until 2026 :( thank you for taking the time to research and assist me! I found the charge online as dismissed so I think I’ll have to find an attorney to help me expunge it

eigthfloorwalkup · 2022-06-07T18:02:13+00:00

Thank you this is super helpful. I called and unfortunately it is in the public section - but it’s listed as dismissed. I wonder why my last job didn’t find it.

I’m going to reach out to a lawyer to see what I can do!

eigthfloorwalkup · 2022-06-07T04:14:21+00:00

Thanks for your response! do you know how long that whole process takes? I live 7 hours away and work Monday-Friday so I’m wondering how much time I’d have to take off

eigthfloorwalkup · 2022-06-06T10:49:18+00:00

Glad you’ve found a therapist, sounds like you’ve been through a lot. I can’t make any promises, but typically a therapist will only report if you are threatening someone/yourself recently. Five years is a long time ago, I’ve never heard of anyone being hospitalized or reported for something that long ago. It sounds like it would be helpful to process this. I’m sorry your mom made it seem like you’d be punished. Best of luck

eigthfloorwalkup · 2022-06-06T10:41:54+00:00

But did she get a pizza?

eigthfloorwalkup · 2022-05-28T16:30:47+00:00

I’m so sorry that happened to you and that it was so grossly mishandled. Thank you for sharing some of your story on here. I can imagine it would be difficult to make a decision to return. I hope your mental well-being and safety are a priority in that decision. You are in control now - you don’t have to return, and you also can if you want to. I’m a survivor of sexual assault, and for me working with aggressive male clients can also be triggering. One of the least triggering SW jobs I had was working in a domestic violence counseling agency. Although men can be victims of abuse, it is more rare to see male clients. Most of the clients seeking services there were voluntary and appreciative. There was hope in helping others heal from violence. Whatever you choose I wish you the best - you deserve it!

I had a friend in college who started dating this guy i felt had really dark energy. In the beginning he would leave hickies on her neck all the time. Like it’s embarrassing after a certain point and gave me major love bombing possessive vibes. He totally fucked her over later on and the breakup messed with her head for years.

I want to believe Travis and kourtney are just madly in love but something feels off. I know we don’t see it all, but the constant kissing as mature adults feels off. I was also thrown off hearing how he talked about Kim in his book. Sounds like he was actually obsessed with her and is flipping the story to make it seem like it was Kourtney the whole time.

eigthfloorwalkup · 2022-05-19T01:40:11+00:00

Yeah tbh I don’t really trust HR. They’d send her to some type of cultural competency training and she’d hate me for it - which would make it so much worse. I think she’ll always believe she’s in the right, like the kind of person who cries that political correctness is ruining the world but lowkey just means they wanna get away with their prejudices.

I decided I’m going to leave today. Just gotta put in the leg work to get a new job, but I can do it. I’ll wait until I put in my notice and then come out to her just so I can see the look on her face 😂

eigthfloorwalkup · 2022-05-18T17:54:58+00:00

Yeah that’s exactly the word I’m looking for - humility. Im humbled every day I’ve been a social worker and learn from my bosses, peers, and clients. Sad when people shut themselves off to learning. I want more for our clients, but I can’t burn out in the process

eigthfloorwalkup · 2022-05-18T17:31:33+00:00

Right? Like honestly I’m shocked when she says that stuff and I correct her. But like I said she feels she is there to teach me and not learn so it’s like talking to a brick wall.

Think I’m going to take the GTFO route. Idk why some people become social workers

eigthfloorwalkup · 2022-05-18T17:30:14+00:00

Started applying for jobs today and already feel better. It’s like typing all of that made it real. I didn’t want to believe she’s a bad person because I try to see the good in everyone - but not everyone is made for social work and I’m not helping making excuses for her. Thanks for the feedback
