on my last thread somebody wrote that unspoken expectations are premeditated resentments.

I’m guilty of this, I’m a nurse: after changing units an expectation was that the new one would be one where the physical workload would be evenly distributed. Another expectation and a promise from management was that my new unit would assign a nurse I’d shadow during my first days to get a grip of the unit. The third expectation was that I could do my job and use my downtime to learn.

None of these things are happening.

How do I stop having expectations?

ETA: A problem I see with this approach is: if every job turns out to be shit like this, why even bother? My new attitude should be go to work, work the least possible, fake it, play theatrics to do as little as possible, go home, get paid. No expectations = no disappointments.

But then, why even advance to ICU-nursing, get certifications or study medicine?

    Seriously? Did people say that? You complain on here a lot and I call you out each time for your poor behavior and you never acknowledge it (even though my calling you out has been the top comment on a couple of your posts).

    You keep spamming stuff about how shitty your job is and how terrible your co-workers are. But you have said that’s across MULTIPLE jobs.

    The issue is you refusing to accept your faults.

        I’m not a licensed therapist but if the problem is recurring across multiple scenarios, you need to look at the common factor across those scenarios. That’d be you

          and yet you fail to name any of the faults you claim I have. I commend you for your insightful, based post. Keep it up.

            I can’t tell if this entire account is attempting to mock people with 0 self awareness or if you actually have no self awareness

            Or, just trolling for downvotes?
