Come on, let's get these work frustrations off our chests!

Here's mine...

One of my colleagues is incredibly lazy, he completes work in the fastest time possible, but has zero attention to detail so the person who picks it up ends up spending more time correcting it than he did creating it.

He also never takes any accountability for his faults and is always looking to blame something/someone else, whether a computer failure, a technical glitch, not getting clear instructions.... argh! Not only that, he's constantly complaining about his work and personal life and is just a drain.

He keeps saying he wants a higher paid role. I wish he'd hurry up and find one.

I don't know how teachers are coping with the kids who are being sent to mainstream nowadays. It's barbaric and detrimental to everyone. The system is truly broken.

Not enough staff, too many patients. Not enough money for bank staff… staff get burnt out and run down, staff off sick… not enough staff. And so it goes on…

This..

I fell ill at work on Sunday and the guilt over having to go home mid shift was awful. I passed a kidney stone a few hours after I got home and had an horrendous few hours. But there wasn't enough experienced nurses on shift as it was and I was taking care of a very sick baby, as I was leaving they had another admission.

It upset me so much I felt I was leaving them in the lurch.
