My experience, and most peoples' I think, is that most work places and job situations contain some 'politics'--people not getting along, maniuplations, bullying even, machinations behind peoples' backs, etc. At my current job, it is worse than anything I've ever seen. During the last staff meeting I sat there the whole time with knots in my stomach and just wanting to escape, there was so much arguing, confrontation, and contention--between managment and non-management. This has been building up for some months, with non-management not getting anywhere and to the point I think it's just time to give up and go along with things. Just for peace.
Here's a 'forum' for you to air your frustrations, if you have them, about the politics and other contentious stuff going on at work, if it is. Or, conversely, tell about how nice it is where you are.
Well the medical profession is frustrating to say the least...there is so much pressure to make sure mistakes never happen and in meeting such a huge hour week I find exhaustion to be never far behind me...I actually enjoyed working in sudan more than the western world...I found I was appreciated more and the expectations less...
Most of the other medical staff where I work are men so the dynamics of our working team seems to function postively...
The biggest dilemma I have is staying postive myself above the never ending negativity of illness...
