Doesn't Pay Being Nice

Haiz, perhaps I learn to be more heartless and considerate to those who doesn't appreciate my efforts as well as my kindness to get them out of trouble...

For the past few months, since I have been transferred to a new department and 'separated' from GCC, GCC staff has been making lots of blunders and errors to hinder the smooth process of chemotherapy. Instead of making a big fuss, Mari (my ex-partner) and I would take the effort to go down personally down to GCC to resolve the issue as well as talk to the respective mistake-maker to rectify things. Sometimes, we would even speak to their deputised 'manager' to work things out. The reason we do that is so they, we could save the staff who makes the mistake from being scolded or de-moralized by the GCC manager who can be quite nasty when annoyed. Mari and I knows the negative traits of this manager and don't wish any of our ex-colleague to be chided or given long lectures during daily roll-calls.

Mari and I also didn't even voice any displeasure to our new manager and superior to minimise any 'communication' within the management level. We just trouble-shoot the errors, amend any issues and keep it within ourselves and the staff who made the errors.

Instead, recently, the feedback we heard is that 'Mari and Amelia is too free and trying to find fault with GCC staff...' and 'Ask Mari and Amelia to remember where they came from and that they were once GCC staff also...' The worst part is we were once told to flag out any errors to their manager directly but we haven't done that, as we were kind enough to spare anyone from poor appraisals or long scoldings from their manager. Now this the sort of remarks we are facing...

Now Mari has left and resigned. It is about time, I do something to save my own troubles of being misunderstood when I am trying to be nice to people who don't appreciate it. It is sad to be misunderstood constantly in life. It is disappointing to know that your own efforts to save others from trouble has all gone down the drain.

It ain't easy clearing someone's mess or shit and to keep mum about it to any higher authorities, however, I am still being accused of being difficult and picky. Since, GCC staff don't appreciate the efforts being made to prevent them from being scolded or marked down for their appraisals, then, I will be truly nasty and difficult.

Today, I made a list of troubles that GCC has been creating, reported it to my manager and Assistant Director of Nursing. The manager has since typed an email to the GCC manager, 'reminding' her to take note of the hiccups that her staff has created. Looks like roll-call on Monday would be at least 1.5hrs long and God bless those staff involved...

Don't blame me... It is time people at GCC know what a BITCH this Amelia can be when provoked...

Think I shall also apply theory to those who fails to appreciate me or my kind efforts...
