Tell Us About Your Day

I found health and safety things at work were a bit of a farce at times. The drive in the NHS was to have all patient notes written up pretty much as they occurred, even with home visits. As it was mostly not practical to do this on the actual visit, due to the situation, the answer was entering the notes in the car. That was not particularly practical either as parking was often an issue and, from my experiences some years before when I first had a laptop and experimented, finding the problems of using one in the car, not really healthy either. The answer from management was to go to McDonalds, have a coffee and write things up which some did (perhaps that fits in the break and lunch concurrently ).

Maybe it is me but it really confuses me how an organisation which is about health can drive to put procedures in place which can be so unhealthy. Maybe a little of a pet gripe with me but, from experience, I do know that companies do press, often with seemingly little regard to actual health. My research of health and safety issues has often found things very vague over the years too. Really, forget 'reading, riting and rithmetic' at school. A good background in law and deciphering gobbledygook may be far more useful in life. One of the few times my boss actually stopped and listened is when I mention the law.

The productivity job is only part-time, and I also work a split shift, so I don't have to work too long in one sitting, which helps. I'll work for 2 or 2.5 hours and then a break. I don't think I'd want to work there full-time... would be too much stress. They micromanage us, so if I'm not constantly working through the remote app, then they will know. They even watch our clicks and everything lol we get emails if idle or if not done with assignments fast enough.... so being away from my computer while on the clock is not something they allow or else they consider us stealing from them.

My other job just has deadlines within 1-3 days, so I don't have a set schedule, and I like that much better. The two jobs together works out well for the most part, though. I do get to move about a good bit... unless the one above forces meetings on me during my breaks.. I hate when they do that lol it's like they specifically make the meetings only during my breaks because they don't want to cut into my productivity.
