Workplace Elder Abuse

The NYC glow wore off quickly tonight during my 12 hour shift of screaming 😱 psychotic patients. But while that goes with the territory, elder abuse does not.

And I’m not talking about patients.

I’m talking about staff to staff.

At 68 years old thought πŸ‚ bullying was over, but guess not. Since I took this position in June one nurse has consistently acted odd toward me. My intuitive self knew we would never be β€œfriends,” but last night proved it.

😭😒πŸ˜ͺ😿

Was informed by another worker she constantly trashes me when I am not working. Her favorite word for me vacillates between nerd and asshole.

πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“

So tonight when she called by name I responded, β€œYou mean nerd.” Then I proceeded to say, β€œI know you trash me when I’m not here.” To which she stood saying, β€œI don’t talk behind anyone’s back, I tell it to their face.”

To which my response was,

β€œYou lie even more than Trump.”

Then I walked away.

I’m old enough to be this πŸ₯ grandmother.

Elder abuse.

I think I have a case.
