Prayer for Job
 

Hi all,

Please keep my husband and his job in prayer. He likes his job......except that at present his boss expects him to do about 80-90 hours worth of work in 40 hours. It is driving him crazy. He has talked to his boss numerous times and she just blows him off. He asked her to help him prioritize what is more important and she says all of it. They hired on another person to help him, but then at the same time put a bunch more work on him (about 25-30 more hours a week)....so she thinks he has all the help he needs, which is just not fair. He works about 11-12 hour days already and is falling further behind daily. He is job hunting but would rather stay where he is. He is talking with Human Resources this week.

Thanks!

Wow - - that seems to be what is taking place in a lot of places.

They can't afford to hire more help, so they just work everyone double.

Yes....and my husband does scheduling for a medical center. He accidentally scheduled an ob-gyn wrong and it took the medical staff 1/2 to figure out who they were supposed to call while a woman was needing an emergency C-section. The people who double check the schedule didn't catch it either. Fortunately, things turned out okay. My husband is blaming himself for this (and is BEING blamed) but I told him it is NOT his fault. He told his boss that when this project they are in hit full force that it was not going to work and she did not listen. He told her this MONTHS ago. They cannot expect superhuman results from people. He is on sleeping pills, he can't sleep, he is so stressed out. He is expected to be in training for this project 40 hours a week AND do his day job. It's just stupid. He is ready to walk out but then how are we supposed to pay the bills? So, it's at a critical point, definatley. Please keep him and us in your prayers....

It's a critical problem with a lot.

Will add you guys to the prayer list!

Thanks, Renda. The recession is definately making more stress for many people.

Praying for your husband's job situation; and the stress and lack of sleep it is causing.

Praying for y'all, ILG.

Am praying ILG. And Renda is right. This is a trend that is becoming more and more commonplace. Its seems alot of companies are piling on more and more work by downsizing the staff and expecting more from the retained staff. I was talking to a sister who has worked for the same company for nearly 30 years. Management seems to be overloading her with extra duties and she is wondering if they are trying to "force" her to quit before she retires or so they can hire someone younger and/cheaper. My brother says his company is doing the same thing. Overloading him with duties that, he says, make it impossible to keep up.

we had a meeting today, they have hired 6 more physicians, and like 10 Hospitilist.. (Doctors who work hosp only?? lol ) I'm like sure... whatever. Anyway... that means more charges, more billing, more collecting and no added staff.

When we asked about more staffing, well, possibly this Spring. There are budget cuts every where, so I have no idea what they will do.

They cut out overtime completely and that is hitting me hard, it was my "second" job.

Re: Prayer for Job
 

I will pray ILG... may God works things out for you all.

Re: Prayer for Job
 

Praying ILG- This is a trend all over.

Re: Prayer for Job
 

I will pray

Re: Prayer for Job
 

Praying ILG!

My husband has had to deal with this also. We were on a working "vacation". Not fun!!!

Re: Prayer for Job
 

That is exactly what they have done where my husband works. They have hired around 10-15 new physicians, PA's and the like and the staff is just absorbing it.

Re: Prayer for Job
 

Hopefully some good news! My husband has been sounding the bell about this for months....it has just recently reached the critical point. Yesterday as my husband was coming into the building he ran into the CEO who asked my husband if he had gotten his email. My husband apologized and said no but that he would look at it and respond (my husband has about 900 unread emails right now). The CEO wants him to start scheduling for another flu clinic. My husband said he would love to but he doesn't have time....and told him what is going on. The CEO said he was going to have a meeting with a few peope and see if he can get this resolved. My husband said it will either get resolved or they will fire him(......but he doesn't think they will fire him). Regardless, he says he needs a resolution. Everybody is yelling at him from all sides and, like I said, they have him scheduled in a project right now 40 hours a week and no time to do his day job. Thanks for the prayers. Maybe we will see a breakthrough!!

I mentioned a while back about hurting my back and filing workman's comp at my library job because we are just absorbing the load of 20% increased circulation since the recession. There are some changes being made! I am hopeful that, even though it won't all be fixed, it is understood that we are overworked and can't hurt ourselves to make things work!

Re: Prayer for Job
 

BTW, Lisa, your picture looks great!! :)

Re: Prayer for Job
 

Wow! Things have changed quickly! My husband ran into the CEO like I mentioned and the CEO got right on it and talked to my husband's boss. They are looking at hiring two temporaries (one who might end up permanant)! My husband slept better last night than he has in a looonnnnggg time! Thanks for the prayers. My husband had his chance meeting in the parking lot the same day you all prayed. :thumbsup This is a great relief.
