I usually find a company is on the downhill slide when they start having a tons of 'meetings' and their 'meetings' become more important than the work that is actually done.
Sheesh! With all the modern technology today, all the alternative ways of disseminating info to workers, why gather human beings into a meeting, like it was still the middle ages!
Any one else have to deal with this madness?
I usually daydream or doodle on a sheet of paper, pretending to take notes, during boring meetings...
One guy always sleeps in the corner and nobody says anything. I've always found that funny.
Corporate America summed up in one short post... one can be a useless bum or criminally insane, but if the right clowns at the top like you, you've got a job for life.
It is disgraceful.
On the flip side, if you work harder and are more competent than your co-workers, but the slobs at the top dislike you for some reason (usually it's because you keep to yourself and don't bother with office politics), your days are numbered.

Does your job have a corporate office? Perhaps you can complain anonymously?
Realistically, if a business is open 24/7, it is almost impossible to accommodate everyone when it concerns administrative things. One group is going to have to suffer.
OP, you sound like you have "short-timers" syndrome. Why even worry about this now?

Exactly! I've scratched my head too many times in the 10 years I've worked there: those that continually come in late and are not reprimanded, those that do their rounds once during the nightshift instead of twice, those that quickly get approved for time off vs. those that have to fight for it, those who sleep on the job vs. those that would never consider doing it, those that have a regular habit of calling in sick vs. those that never call off.
Personality clashes will always be overlooked as to your continuing or discontinued employment. The big changes generally occur when a new Dirctor of Nurses or Administrator is hired. The former ones may have looked at you like as a god, the new ones may view you as the devil.
I haven't called off sick in 7 years, but that's no feather in my cap today in this work world. You call in sick and that leaves 3 CNA's to handle 98 patients at night, so that also means that person calling in sick saved the company money! So, will I eventually lose my job some day because I didn't call in sick more often to save the company more money?

This doesn't sound right. From what I know of the hospital environment, they do everything 3 times, once for each shift.
