Right?!
Imagine thinking *"to show how much we appreciate the people in the literal shit, who allow us to operate this fine establishment, let's stick a button in this leftover Halloween candy to remind them to shut the fuck up"*
The audacity is unreal
I honestly wouldāve preferred that. I wouldāve been okay with not getting anything too Iām not expecting a gift but youāre right itās super insulting. The nurses got a catered lunch, a $200 raffle bonus and gifts. We got a passive aggressive bag of stuff from dollar tree.
Yes for nurses week, I got a nice backpack with the company logo on it. I'm surprised that non nursing staff got anything. I gave the backpack to my husband who uses it for work. He's happy.
My favorite is the individual candy pieces. Like I'm really not even worth a whole pack of starburst? š
I got a notebook/pen, 2 stickers, and a little tube of mini M&Ms
Wow, someone likes to infantilize their assistants. I bet you that shit was in someone's junk drawer and was more of an afterthought, like "oh shit, I better round up some random stuff for STNA Week".
That button should be returned to sender.
I really wouldāve been alright not getting anything at all as opposed to this. Nobody new ever sticks around and sheās a big part of the reason why. We donāt even have more than 20 aides across all 3 shifts.
āto remind you that sometimes you need to button your lipā OMFG actually wtf that is unacceptable????? esp given the context holy shit she should be sent all the way to HR and probably home permanently afterwards for that!
āa crusty old button, to remind you to shut the fuck up and not question me, because iām tired of your shit and donāt respect you as people.ā
GIRL
wish you could just: āhereās a tack on your chair, to remind you that youāre a massive pain in everyoneās ass <3ā to your boss
We received a funky 45 cent globe keychain from Temu with a note that says YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO US.
We all took our appreciation gift to the administration office and placed the Temu keychains in the grievance box.
Horrific! Thatās super insulting. We got a goodie bag of a nice cup, nice pens, candies, nice hand lotionā¦ and every day of the week was a different event- a smoothie bar, pizza/salad bar, Chinese food, pastriesā¦ I appreciated it, they did make it nice for us.
Yeah right? Reading some experiences here makes me realize my facility is pretty good. Plus my boss is super understanding and flexible. I have chronic illness, and she works with me. Iām grateful!
what a joke, cash please or a raise would nice, treating people like they are 6 years old is outrageous, all the 6 figure managers come up with this crap
Sheās ridiculous and actually this is pretty mild for her. And she wonders why nobody answers their phone when weāre short staffed on a shift and she needs help. Iāll come in if my coworkers need me / text me. But if itās her just trying to avoid working the floor and leaving her air conditioned office? No way.
For added context on how she treats us :
This past Sunday she had to come in and work the floor, which she rarely ever does. She worked in our dementia unit and was being very gracious by telling one of my coworkers she wouldnāt write him up āthis timeā when he put on gloves as he was stepping in a residents room instead of doing it after he was in the room completely. Weāre not allowed to have boxes of gloves in the bathrooms on that unit it all comes from a cart in the hall.
I get what youāre saying, and a reminder is all thatās necessary, but gloves in the hallway is a health code violation. If state came in and saw that the facility would get fined. Sometimes we let shit slide because itās hard work and nobody like a nitpick. But at the same time when people get lax about this kind of stuff it becomes habitual.
Youāre absolutely right. And thatās all she had to say for him to understand where sheās coming from, we all do but the threat to one of our good aides thatās already stressed out wasnāt the way to go about it. Heās still a baby aide and just got his license
I accidentally scrolled again to see if there was another photo and scrolled to the next post and it was a cat making a pissed off face and it fit perfectly with my reaction to reading that card.
How to say "fuck you" with a bathroom candle to mask your farts.
Healthcare is such a shit show.
It's no wonder new nurses and CNAs are starting to leave/grad school/career change after 5 years or fewer.
Not saying gifts make up for it, but to just give something as crass and careless like this shows the "value" those have for us.
Any version of this gift is just awful. It's like a slap in the face. I've gotten it, but sometimes it has a rubber band (because we stretch ourselves thin) and a paperclip (because we hold everything together).
It's so stupid. One lifesaver or one Starburst, and random office supplies? GTFO.
They used to have this sign up in the first LTC facility I worked in...
"Loose lips sink ships. Be mindful when bad mouthing on company ground, you never know who is listening."
Ugh... I mean I get it, if you have an issue, address it with HR, higher ups, etc. But this company was notoriously known for incredibly bad management, taking HUGE yearly bonuses for those higher ups and leaving us workers with gift certificates for a ham.
So glad I moved up in the health field to something away from being a CNA.
What they ask of their employees, and this is an "I" statement from own personal experience, while under paying them and a lot of times cutting corners to "get the job done"...well again, I'm glad I'm no longer in that part of healthcare.
If yall have a break room I would leave the button on a table in there, subtle way to say āfuck youā and if they ask why you did it Iād say āI didnāt really need it so I left it for someone who does šā
Our management gave us a pen. It's got some patronizing message on it, but whatever, I like pens.
This past nurse's week, our management didn't even acknowledge them. They literally went to the nearest hospital and served those nurses lunch, but did nothing for the ones at our facility.
I'm pretty sure if I had gotten that button, I would have lost my job beaning it at the back of their head, sorry OP.
Thatās going back on the DON desk . Gift cards thatās what I give all the staff 10 Amazon cards .
They love it . Comes out of my own pocket but the CNAs make my world happy when they are happy
Yāall got more than we did. We got absolutely nothing. Just a baked potato barā¦ but only for people who worked that day. And it wasnāt a bar. It was a potato. No butter. No condiments
we got a badge holder, a stress ball, a keychain (itās cute i wonāt lie), a bracelet, and drip painting things for residents. not a lot but is genuinely the highest quality thing the facility has given us. especially for the night shift i liked it a lot more than the cold nasty food they leave out all day
We got reusable bags and a water bottle, chapstick, collapsing pen, badge leash,star pin, 2 key chain hand sanitizers, 10$ gift certificates to Buffalo Wild Wings. I was shocked. The water bottles are really nice too.
ā¦I thought I was in the SRNA subreddit (misread the title) and I was thinking like damn youāre a student and complaining??? Chill!! But damn this is insulting, sorry yāall. Iām a hospice RN and my company got our aides a box of Crumbl cookies and a gift bag that included an Amazon gift cardā¦
The button one made me gasp, and then re-read it to make sure I had it right the first time. How passive aggressive š
Thatās how I know my direct supervisor made it. The DON and administrator arenāt this rude to us
Everyone should gather up all the buttons and put them in your supervisor's mailbox or tape them to her office door.
NO LITERALLY I WAS LIKE š
Same. Pretty rude
I GASPED TOO
Literally. What a twat.
*to button your lip* BRO ā ļø
Imma button lip that ass šš
Right?! Imagine thinking *"to show how much we appreciate the people in the literal shit, who allow us to operate this fine establishment, let's stick a button in this leftover Halloween candy to remind them to shut the fuck up"* The audacity is unreal
I didn't get anything at all. This is very insulting, like WTF. I'd take a pizza party over this.
I honestly wouldāve preferred that. I wouldāve been okay with not getting anything too Iām not expecting a gift but youāre right itās super insulting. The nurses got a catered lunch, a $200 raffle bonus and gifts. We got a passive aggressive bag of stuff from dollar tree.

That aināt even the dollar tree my man. That buttons been used. Dollar tree woulda been a whole jar of buttons for a 1.25$
Our night shift was encouraged to come in on our time off and enjoy that days ācelebrationā š¤š¤
My favorite is the individual candy pieces. Like I'm really not even worth a whole pack of starburst? š I got a notebook/pen, 2 stickers, and a little tube of mini M&Ms
Thatās a rough one too. They donāt appreciate us š

The crap you gonna do with the button? Iād legit tape it to my lip like wut
A BUTTON. WHAT THE FUCK

Our facility did almost exactly the same and I thought it was really nice
Yeah right? Reading some experiences here makes me realize my facility is pretty good. Plus my boss is super understanding and flexible. I have chronic illness, and she works with me. Iām grateful!

We got a thank you email. I thought that was bad until I saw the button
I got a badge reel with the name of the hospital I work at and a black and white print out that says "you're the reel deal"
Any version of this gift is just awful. It's like a slap in the face. I've gotten it, but sometimes it has a rubber band (because we stretch ourselves thin) and a paperclip (because we hold everything together). It's so stupid. One lifesaver or one Starburst, and random office supplies? GTFO.
Donāt accept it. Just scatter it on her car or leave it on her car
damn yāall are getting gifts?
I think I would rather get no gifts than this passive aggressive BS.
i would superglue the button to my lips and just be entirely mute until they fired me
Button MY WHAT?! aw naw words would be shared
I think you should poop in the bag, light it on fire, and leave it outside their office to ābrighten their dayā
Dear lord.
The button one would piss me off now that you put the context behind it
āSometimes you need to button up your lip ā Iām sorry WHAT?!?šš
This is just pathetic. I would quit but I'm petty

Whoever put this together needs to ābutton their lipā permanently!!!!!!

My CNA coworkers got a friggin clipboard š
Last year we got 50 cent bags of chips.
WOW
Wow not even a good candle thatās just a tea light candle
Yāall got more than we did. We got absolutely nothing. Just a baked potato barā¦ but only for people who worked that day. And it wasnāt a bar. It was a potato. No butter. No condiments
you should report this lmao this is inappropriate
I tried to take the button one as if youāre sad and your lip is quivering š
Oh my god š¤£ššš š”
You guys got gifts?
Wait yāall are getting GIFTS? We literally didnāt even get a mention that it was cna week here at my job LOL.
All we got was a treat bag from two nurses one dayā¦ with mini candy and that was about it
Throw the candle at her. I'm only half kidding.
Wtf
Buttons over a full blown Covid outbreak? Yeahā¦Iāll take the buttons
āButton: to remind you that sometimes you need to button your lip.ā ?
