The residents then have to be escorted to and from each meal through out the day. Most of the residents need to lay down in between meals so the CNAs are constantly laying them down and getting them back up. In between all the chaos , the CNAs are busy answering call lights, toileting the residents, passing out ice water, taking vitals signs , and the most important thing, charting. All day long it seems like you are racing with the clocks and that the time is running against you. I don’t care what nursing facility you work at, there is never enough staff.
There was a lot of sexist employers as most of them thought a ‘women’s place’ was in the home. Women faced a lot of discrimination against men if they were seen displaced in the field of work. Most women would be employed in Domestic Service which would include being maids and cleaners for higher class citizens who could afford servants. They would polish silver, wash and do normal household chores. Most women were brought up to support her husband and look after her home and children; her time was always contributed to her home.
The scores show to me that Jesus is a not very satisfied, Shaila is comfortable and satisfied and Sam is very satisfied. The strengths of a person who is satisfied with their job are that they are committed; they do their best, and are reliable. Also their attendance is good and they are positive people to have working for the company. The weaknesses are that a person who is not satisfied may not care about the job. They may be unhappy with their pay, or the work environment, or even just the job duties.
It was like running a marathon starting from 7 in the morning till 12 at noon. I was always on the edge and had to serve the customers one after the other. For my job I was expected to help the customers at the counter, clean the counter, and sweep the store. Aside from all these, the store also had a deli counter where I sometimes had to make sandwiches for the customer. Making sandwiches was the nightmare of my job because my sandwiches always came out differently compared to my boss’s sandwiches which made the customers unhappy.
He would make a sandwich or coffee and quickly return to his desk. He did not clear up after himself straight away but usually did all this at the end of the day and he usually stayed a bit later to do it. Bob had a different role and was more mobile around the workplace and able to spend time away from his desk. He was fastidious about clearing as he went and was constantly complaining about Tom’s habits. Tom was under pressure with work and often this led to arguments until the point where the manager had to step in.
At the same time though, I also learned some important life lessons for taking on a less than desirable job. One of the reasons that the job was horrible was the amount of work I was expected to do. I was expected to lift very heavy boxes during almost my entire shift. Also, because I was the only person who worked the floor, I had to run the register as well. During the rare times when I was not stocking or watching the register, I had to go around the store making sure that all of the merchandise was neatly arranged.
Stress Within The Police Workforce Amy Kurtz Criminology 210-01 Stress can occur in all work environments, but imagine the stress a police officer deals with on an every day basis. Unlike other occupations, a police officer goes into work with the fear of not coming home. He or she puts their life on the line everyday in order to keep peace in society. The choice of becoming a police officer comes with several types of stress: organizational, operational, external, personal, and stress within the family. The quasi-military structure in police workforces can cause organizational stress because of the constant change in shift hours.
Something that makes us happy, and us humans all have some sort of contentment although it may vary from individual to individual. In The Overcoat, Akaky is extremely content with his work of plain copying, although to us it may seem boring and dull, but this job of his brings him contentment, and joy. Akaky does not just do it as a job but he does it with such enjoyment. “One would be hard put to find a man anywhere who so lived for his work. To say he worked with zeal would be an understatement: no, he worked with love”(p.143).
Being a home provider is something I do every day, because growing up in a family of sixteen, values like cooking and cleaning and taking care of the home were instilled in us. Working as a licensed certified nursing assistant and hopefully, a nurse one day is a job that I believe I was called to do and I do it well. The majority of the two days consisted of working, studying, and leisure time. The least important identities were being a cosmetologist because I did not like standing all day and working as an auditor/accountant because it was very tedious at times and involves working long hours even on weekends, even thou the pay was great. Yes, there are parts of my identity that will always be a part of me like being black, a female, a woman, a daughter, a sister, a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, because they are inherited traits that I was born with and Christianity is what I was brought up believing
