[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, teachers wanted to work at home. Well— part of the problem with working from home is your work creeping into your home life. Work from home is great. Until your boss wants to chat at 8pm. Most of us have to suck it up and take the call.  Think long and hard before demanding indefinite telework.

And stop calling me and demanding I talk to you at that exact moment. My child also has a father, who manages call well. And, more to the point, I have a job too and can’t always drop everything and have a personal conversations.   Email and ask to set up a time.  Half the time. The other half, call dad.

Second, I agree that doctors office have gotten away with overbooking and making people sit for hours for far too long. And for me COVID is the breaking point.  I do get pissy if I have to sit in a waiting room with a dozen other people for two hours for an appointment that could be done over telemedicine— to be seen for a condition that puts me in a COVID high risk group. Not okay.

Moral of the story:

[b]If you work from home, it’s not unusual for people to expect you to be on call. Get your butt back in the classroom.  Problem solved.  [/b]

And stop pretending you are in office hours when you are in fact at the doctors office.  Take leave like everyone else.  Teachers want to be treated like professionals without, you know, acting like professionals.

And during COVID, making people with illnesses sit in a waiting room for long periods of time with sick people is a bad idea and upsets them.   If you can’t understand that, perhaps you shouldn’t be a nurse.

Also, if you feel the need to gripe about the patients you see, you definitely shouldn’t be a nurse.

Neither of these things has anything to do with Amazon.

You people are SO entitled.  Noooooobody caaaares that you or anyone else "expect (them)  to be on call."  Teachers work contracted hours.  They can *choose* to respond to you outside of them, but they are not required to.  So keep "expecting."  LOL.

"Get your butt back in the classroom."  No.  Problem solved.
