For a long time, any guy was called “ Joe” marginally performing people, or folks who didn’t pay their bills were called “ flakes”, there’s tons of old verbiage.
Of course. BI, and likely the others who wrote, would sincerely wish you luck. No, it does not take a college education to practice kindness, decency, and respect. Perhaps you are right about regional rules. I believe I, and the other members who wrote are being respectful, in light of the fact that you authored the post. We did not seek you out to give advice. You openly asked for it. You described a situation that we see as inappropriate. You asked. What we provided back was current to region. In over 30 years in this field, I’ve witnessed heart- breaking crisis’ similar to yours. My priority was to help you avoid both emotional and professional trouble. Sometimes getting information and/ or feedback is unpleasant. That’s LIFE. My heart genuinely goes out to you because I know how it feels to find oneself in a matrix, which is what you describe. It sounds like you are in better control if the situation, and for that, I, and likely other members, are happy for you. You do seem nice; we just want you to be safe. It’s a tough life, much of the time. If my, and other members’ responses upset you, I’m sorry you’re upset, but not sorry I gave you the information. A very friendly but firm word: don’t ask for advice you are unable to process without seeing it as negative. We wish you well.
A beautiful wife and mother of two was killed in this manner here a few years back. And, she had worked with horses all of her life. This post brought back this horrible memory. The service was packed.
The deck is fully stacked against our industry employees. Do you know that ( in U.S.) when a complaint is made against a nurse or social worker/ Home Health Assistant, you are automatically found guilty, and must fight hard to be found innocent? This is in direct opposition to The Constitution. But they do it, and no one stops them. I dodged bullets for over 30 years, and by the grace of God, and watching my back carefully, I made it with only a few nicks and bruises. I am so, so grateful for the career, but also very glad to be retired.
Spot-On! She simply should notify the agency that she either wants an alternate caregiver or just cancel them altogether. She does not have to give them a reason. She should, as you say, stop any contact with HIM, and deal with the agency only.
Tell me about it. Remember “ Mandatory Reporting”, and all the government- driven C.E.U. Classes telling us that we HAD to report ANY wrong- doing, or even “ suspected” wrong- doing? Well, try doing it. They (directors/ administrators, etc...) don’t want to mess with it. AND, what if the wrong- doer is one of THEM?. Or, someone they don’t want turned in? Guess what happens? All of a sudden, YOU’RE in the hot seat, and they have a file on you as thick as the New York City phone book, that you had no idea existed. What would seem like a good thing to have appears designed to make you fail. It’s outrageous. ( This is just my opinion, in case anyone out there wants to challenge it..) I am SO freaking glad to be away from all that. Blessings to you...
Excuse me, but I’m bewildered about your entire rhetoric, then. You posted, “Advice Concerning A Dating Prospect”. Get yourself in gear, dear one, before you hit a wall. Kapiche? You are talking to college- educated professionals. This is nor junior high school..cowgirl up...
I found one! It’s a Black Angus Ribeye- 1.67 lbs— thick as heck...I looked up method to defrost quickly ( microwave ruins it) and one site says put in cold water and change water every 30 minutes for about an hour and a half...do you have a better plan? I don’t want to cut it all up...should I roast in oven, instead?
Some podiatrists are MD’s, some are not. A pedicurist is a cosmetologist who has another license to trim toenails. (Not to be off- topic, but in Oregon one can no longer “ pick and choose” licenses in this industry, AND must now pay for each separately. Beauticians coming here from other states get really ticked off..) The career called “ Nail Technician” generally means fingernails, but some programs require students to know and be able to perform both. Oregon actually wants a licensed cosmetologist to have ALL certificates— hair, nails, skin...but many believe this is too much of an over- reach. People working on limited licenses would be “ grandfathered in”, but new applicants would be required to have roughly 5 licenses. If I needed podiatry, I would prefer an MD with podiatry as his discipline to be my practitioner. That is not to say that a podiatrist without the MD couldn’t do a good job, however. Hope this helps you understand how some particular licensing works.
Everything in Education is cattywampus. Many schools have removed handwriting, an absolute cornerstone of learning. (The hand/brain value is a FACT.) Kids are told to use calculators..( not only did my generation have to have correct answers, we had to hand in our paperwork showing HOW we arrived at our answer, with real pencil and scratch paper. Current education will be found to actually be detrimental, not better...what a waste.
Years ago when a group of us “ server graduates” were testing for OLCC licenses, the preceptor introduced a woman to us. He asked, “ how many of you would not hesitate to pour her a cocktail?” All of us raised our hand( s). (She looked well over 40). He had her take out her ID. She was 16. Things ain’t always as they seem, are they?
Hi there. I guess I read the topic wrong—“what do women DO mostly online”—I answered it thinking it was “ want”, rather than “ do”. I suppose my answer is correct, too, as I notice many of our lady members do validate others, so the Freudian slip actually fit this time...
Of course he is “ underperforming”. You have put him in a bad position. ( sorry, but it’s on YOU— you’re the employer). For both of your sakes, and for very real legal considerations, you must dismiss him. Be as proper as you can...He already has much over on you, and this bell cannot be ‘unrung’. Very sorry if this sounds harsh, but the problem is getting worse by the second. Be smart.
You have put yourself in an extremely compromising position posting this, with your photo and town you live in. Not wise. If state services pick up on this, what will you be able to say? Good heavens, lady. Unbelievable. ( I worked in medicine and social work for over 30 years. I know what I’m talking about.)

RE: Daily Chuckle ...
I still use lots of those—-For a long time, any guy was called “ Joe” marginally performing people, or folks who didn’t pay their bills were called “ flakes”, there’s tons of old verbiage.
