It was not the worst nightmare but yet it
does troubled everyone of us..
After 1+ month of enjoying a "relaxing"
working environment, our new colleague had made his decision. "Relaxing"
is an relative word when referring to the working environment in ED; The ED can
be packed with uncomfortable amount of patient but yet the ED physician could
manage the patient without stress...
With the joining of 5th staff; 2 staffs were
posted over half of the shifts.
It was an enjoyable experience and we
managed to survive the CNY shifts.
When L finalized his decision at the end of
Feb. We had tried to "hold him" back but yet we didn't; we discovered some facts: He got paid less when he came to join us (Contrary to what we acknowledge
in the beginning). The driving time is more and the pay is less and we had
nothing left to lure him to stay back.
However this is not the worst.... the worst
part was : the management had asked him to leave one month early at the end of the
month....So the chaos begin - shuffling of the new roster 2 days before the end
of the month and we were back to square minus one again.
We would be no ground to get anyone for the
rest of the year; we are further away from K city and the pay is less than
our competitor (our competitor is closer to K city with 7 staffs[they are now
-1 and in urgent of getting another one] serving the same amount of patients
[cruel fact; we had only 4 staff.. less pay and 2x of the patient load....]
