Listening at the door. Does anyone do that at your work?

Our lovely but sometimes annoying manager does this all the time. I dont know how she gets time. If shes told you to do something once she will tell you three times even when we are on our breaks. So of course if she says it in our tea room its quite normal for some eye rolling after shes left and nothing horrible will be said just something like “ thats three times name has said that today even though ive already done it” then she will burst through the door. Or sometimes she just hears her name from accross the ward and will burst in at the precise time 😂😂

I hope I dont come accross as us being a lot of nursey back stabbers but its like a joke now i dont know anyone else that has her ear to the door so much it reminds me of the nuns at school. They would just appear and scare the life out of you.😯

What’s said in the staff room should definitely stay in the staff room

We’ve got one at work… lurks in the toilets (by the managers office) listening to phone calls etc.
Causes trouble regularly..😡

Oh I used to work with someone who did that. Totally batshit. She wasn't even subtle about it so we always knew she would be listening!

Yes used to work with someone like that. Saddos. Just feel sorry for them that they need to create drama at work, because you have to be pretty miserable to become a human CCTV.

Its not that shes trouble making its hard to explain shes terrified of anything going wrong and it coming back on her. I feel bad just writing it down as she has a good heart but shes so paranoid and its like a self fulfilling prophecy the more she bursts into the room the more we will talk about her i feel like bringing a door wedge to work so we can just leave doors open😀
