'They've got their own lives' and other stock phrases

552

I have to say I agree, obviously in the wrong job, completely lacking empathy & compassion

The thing is, with a job like that you just have to grow a thick skin and not automatically believe every single word or you won't be helping anyone. A slightly dark sense of humour helps. Not quite the same thing but I'm a lawyer and in my profession we often deal with upsetting, distressing events. If we weren't a bit cynical and matter of fact we'd never get anything done because we'd be crying our eyes out and having nervous breakdowns.

No I really can’t put two and two together. When OP said that many clients say “they have their own lives so don’t visit”, I really can’t pin that down to which of her clients would have said that.

I do understand confidentiality. More than you do it seems. While I get your very vague point, you’ve failed to understand that the OP hasn’t actually done anything outing or degrading towards her clients.

Anybody who has challenged you has been dismissed with you undermining them. You’ve even stayed you feel the Op is lying about being a sw and have dismissed anyone else with “When you are a professional with an ethical code you might understand, but clearly you aren't” .

I’ve been a practicing legal attorney for just under two decades. I have to abide by a strict ethical code within my role. But when I say a lot of my clients use the generic phrase of “it wasn’t me”, I’m not breaking any confidentiality rules. Neither was the OP.

I’m very glad you take your role seriously, we all do. But you’ve really dragged the OP by the hair on this one, very unfair. She’s not out any clients at risk or given any confidential information. She hasn’t “ruined the profession” either. I hope you’re not so mean irl.

retail , its got an out of stock ticket on it , but have you got any out the back at all ?

yes of course luv , we keep it all out there so we cant sell it and make money of course

[quote RedWingBoots]@flymetotheloon give yourself a shake.

Pre-Covid I did various volunteer roles. With one organisation I often heard the first phrase when I asked about family members helping them out. Luckily quite a few of the people I helped had young neighbours who could and would help them if asked.

I also know people who work in other jobs that aren't social work quote the last two phrases when talking about some of their clients/customers.[/quote]
Volunteer roles, as valuable as they are (and I do two) are nothing like undergoing professional training and signing up to an ethical code that puts your client's welfare at the very heart of it.

Wow. You’re actually just a bully

And to be fair to the OP, listening to people making discriminatory remarks about what they think other people get that they don't is very very tiresome.

My child needs harder/ longer/ higher level reading books.
I’ve told him if he feels unwell he’s to tell you and I’ll take him home. (Cue child feeling unwell at 9.10am)

I can only think that 'flymetotheloon's user name is singularly apt, after her response to Aussiegirl.

Cool to bash social workers though for having a little moan about an insanely hard job.
No wonder their aren’t any and they can’t recruit people to put up with endless shit dr people.
Be it in real life or anonymously on the internet

I really can’t pin that down to which of her clients would have said that.

That's not what identifiable means so you clearly do not understand confidentiality.

Teaching: oh my Jonathon is bored in class, the other pupils are holding him back.

Banking and running clients through security questions : do you want me inside leg measurement too?

Insurance, when customers claim is rejected: why isn’t this covered? I pay top dollar for this.

Could you please tell me which client I had that wanted to know what sentence he'd get if he stole a slaughtered a sheep?

Masks on please
Sit down
Walk on the left
Face forwards please
Stop chatting
Listening
Can you put that away please?
You have a warning, now it is time to change your behaviour
Stand behind your chairs
Stop running
Listen for your names

@Fairyliz
Projection much!
Why do you think you can’t get hold of a social worker really??? Why???
Because they’re all cunts,
Or because they’re worked into the ground dealing with mostly aresholes and treated like scum of the earth.

[quote NorthSouthcatlady]@lesenfantsdelesperance didn’t you see where the people’s names, addresses and dates of birth were included ?!?[/quote]
Confidentiality is much more than stating someone’s identity. Either many of you don’t work in roles with proper policies around confidentiality or do and don’t follow. It’s much more than this. Whilst I couldn’t care less what the op or anyone is posting I’m so surprised by what many of your are saying. The op should hope that this and other posts aren’t putting because….regardless of what many think I would guarantee they would find themselves in trouble at work!
