I'm SO tired of people's lack of respect and the entitlement they have in my line of work.
Had a family come in to visit a resident (their loved one). Brought a kid with them, and we're not even allowed to have them in the building yet. Fine, I'm not going to argue with the family because FFS I'm so tired of saying NO to everything. Especially if he's wearing his mask and being polite.
I ask if they've been vaccinated, per protocol, and they answer no. Fine and dandy, idc what people's reasons are anymore. I inform them that it's our policy for those who aren't vaccinated, to wear both a face mask AND a face shield, and they say okay and take it with them. No sooner do they turn the corner and give the face shields to the nurse and say "we don't need them" and proceed up to their loved one's room.
I DIDN'T FUCKING TELL YOU OUR POLICY FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES!!! Luckily our staff are familiar with policy, so the nurse called me immediately to confirm that I gave them the shields because they're not vaccinated, so she had to chase them down and re-inforce the policy. I just........am so fucking tired. SO. FUCKING. TIRED. of people not thinking about others. Bad enough you didn't get the vaccine (yes, I'm hella judgmental, sue me) but to not consider you're putting others at risk by disobeying policy??? I swear if I wasn't in the position I am, I'd go off on these type of people. But I keep my mouth shut. *upside-down smiley emote*
