50 People Take The Chance To Say “It Doesn’t Work Like That” About Their Jobs In This Thread

And anyone who says no to it because it might make them sleepy or not as lucid, taking time from your last days with them... it's selfish and about you and not your dying loved one. Prescription opioids, whether at the end of life or not, is about making quality of life more manageable and tolerable.

So tired of the self-righteous " lord giveth and the lord taketh away " bible-thumping crowd that think you should have no say about when you want check out when you are terminal or what D R U G S you should be allowed to use for pain relief. If it's my turn give me that morphine and plenty of it!

It will tear your heart out to hear a loved one ask "Why is nobody doing anything to help?" as they are struggling with their last breaths. You will never forget the sound of those words. You will wake up with night terrors. You will break down randomly because the memory popped into your head. Let them go peacefully without knowing the impending doom.

As an RN , I've seen my fair share of death . I'm a big believer in helping my patients die with dignity and with as little pain as I can legally administer to ease their suffering.

People are so selfish when it comes to loved ones dying. The constant prayers to their God about keeping their loved ones alive. The refusing of pain meds that will help them die peacefully. It makes me sick! Let them go for them. It's not about you!

Caesar abandoned that technique over a decade ago. Now he helps people to understand their dog better. The show is called Better Human, Better Dog. His technique is very gentle and focused on how most problem dogs are created by their owner.

Alpha training is like old school classroom teaching techniques, it can work well for some, ok for many and it really screws up a few. Just like with people, you have to use the style your dog needs because they aren't all the same.

Some episodes are classified here as animal cruelty and are banned. Tells everything you need to know about this "trainer".

I know this might upset a few, but could we ease up a bit on voting all the puppies and kitties into the top three in every single subject? There are already plenty of articles dedicated entirely to fluffy cuteness.

I agree that dominance training is bull. I see a lot of "dog trainers" on YouTube that do really stupid things just to "show their dogs who's boss". But a lot of what I learned from Cesar (and keeping in mind that I haven't watched his older stuff) has been a lifesaver in my house with difficult dogs. Stuff like not showing a dog that you're scared of it, and not showing anxiety on a challenging situation because it makes your dog anxious. I could never bath my dog or clean her ears or brush her teeth because she would freak t f out. I learned from Cesar to not give in and stop doing it (because she's freaking out and I'm scared she'll bite me) but to power through it and show her that I'm not going to back off and that it's not gonna be as bad as she thinks. Now she's fine doing all of those things. I'd never be able to do that without Cesar. And she's a perfectly happy and loved dog (and also clean and healthy), she's certainly not stressed or scared of me.

I'm a teacher. We're hiring a new custodian, the expectations are high. The person is expected to be great in dealing with kids (friendly but also dealing with teen behavior), welcoming for anyone who comes in, be very handy, etc. The person should be paid accordingly. Custodians are one of the most important faces of the school for the teachers and students alike. I still remember the custodian that worked in my HS better than the teachers. He was awesome.

School custodians are among the most important people at the school.

Sadly it seems that nowadays the custodian don’t get payed enough and have barely any of these skills cause the ones that did shared higher pay, then they are over run by uncontrolled children due to inadequate staff. FUND THE SCHOOLS

Is this a thing? Do people ACTUALLY think maintenance workers are overpaid? What the heck is wrong with people. I think they should be getting paid more than admin. (Yes, I work in a school.)

One event that taught me to always respect the janitor was when I stupidly left my school ipad in a classroom. That would not have been that bad but the teacher specifically told us not to leave anything important in the classroom since he was leaving right after class and was going to lock the door. This iPad was at the time the only device I had besides a phone that I owned and I wasn't allowed to have my phone during school. I realized partway through Break (and about 15 minutes after the teacher left) that I'd left my iPad in the now-locked classroom making it incredibly difficult for me to take the electronic test that I needed to take 3rd period which was a mere 30 minutes away. the classroom was a 10 minute walk from everything else on campus and my 3rd-period teacher was a huge jerk about people being late. I spent the first 10 of my precious 30 minutes getting to the part of campus my iPad was in. I spent the next 9 finding an adult who could call maintenance. cont.

"Have you tried turning it off and then on again?"

I do it every night, but I always have the same problems with my life in the morning 🤷🏻

That's how we fix the majority of issues with the VFDs and control systems we use where I work. Power down, wait 15 minutes for the capacitors to clear and restart. Problem solved 99% of the time.

Even your phone should be turned off and restarted often.

I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't recommended again every time the call gets escalated, and it's already happened three times...

It doesn't matter if they are or aren't. They are still human and should be treated accordingly.

Fast food work is *HARD*, stressful, incredibly fast paced. Add to that a lack of respect from customers, entitled Karens/Kevins and even having food/drinks thrown at you. It is *not* easy, and at the end of the day, who to f**k do you think is gonna make your burger/taco/chicken/pizza if no one works there?

I have 2 college degree and work 3 jobs and usmc vet I work where I'm comfortable

Treat all employees with respect and kindness unless they give you a specific reason at that time not to

I can't stand how some think minimum wage work is simple and menial, and the employee is just doing one task the whole shift. Or that all retail and fast food jobs only pay minimum wage. There are people out there who decide to stay in the job because they like it. A lot of these jobs do give some raises to employees who stay long enough and/or get trained in various departments and positions. My job, for ex., it looks like I just sort through donated stuff and hang it. But what I'm doing is using my brain to determine what is acceptable to put out, and what must go into recycling and what goes into the garbage. I handle hazardous substances, such as human or animal excrement. I also have to keep up with the loads given to me, make sure I'm switching tasks with my teammates and changing departments when I'm needed elsewhere. I provide service to customers, contribute to sales, maintain safety and cleanliness in my department for staff and customers. No time for dillydallying.

IIRC, veterinarians are the career with the highest number of suicides in the US.

I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was young...but, I realized I would not be able to handle the sad times...over, and over, and over. That, and the first time someone wanted be to put down their pet because they didn't want them anymore, I would likely have been arrested...

6-year-old me: I wanna be a vet! 10-year-old-me, after having a couple of sick pets: I could never ever ever be a vet.

Here's to the Vet teams who took care of a crying, bubbling mess holding her rat that had to be put down, during its last minutes. It can't be easy to see us crying, but they always were there for my rats and for me.

Or, if you have to work with my cat, your patient is full of righteous, indignant rage because you had the audacity to take her temperature.

There are still some places where local ambulance drivers are not trained paramedics. One of them (in France) helped me remove my motorbike jacket after a serious accident where I'd hit the crash barrier in the middle of my back while flying upside down... I had 9 fractured vertebrae and the moron actually helped me (in so much pain not thinking straight) twist around to get the jacket off. And they couldn't give me any d***s either. Thankfully a doctor arrived with morphine soon after, followed shortly by the helicopter.

AND they deal / negotiate with those who are there in a state of shock / panic / anger / fear and every other emotion. Paramedics see the very worst and occasionally best of what humankind can do to itself or each other. I wouldn’t swap places with them for all the tea in China.

We have paramedics, advanced paramedics, and ambulance technicians here in the UK. Their training varies quite a bit, but they all drive ambulances.
