Incompetence and Unprofessionalism

WARNING: THIS IS A TOTAL RANT ON THE JOB FRONT

If you are reading this, I warned you. I HATE incompetent people and I don't understand how or why they get as far as they get in the administrative chain. I work with a person, whom shall remain nameless without mention of his/her title, in the extremely rare chance that this person may find my not so great comments about them.

I have been working for two months in a location that I do not want to be working, with someone who is completely and utterly incompetent and has sunk to a level of unprofessional ism that parallels with that of a 14 year old little biatch. This person is clearly unable to work with me at this point in time. They are frustrated with attempts to communicate or find fault in what I do and it is now coming out in angry overtones and insulting comments.

This person told me my treatment plans were "vague" and when I asked them to elaborate they could not. I asked them to show me an example, and they would not. I also asked if at some point we could sit down to discuss this, and the answer was, "you go read over the treatment plans, if the interventions are in there fine, if not, FIX IT." Great, so you point out that my work is "vague" yet when I ask for further explanation, you are vague in your response, then throw it back on me to fix, even though I have no idea what I am fixing because you can't or won't show me. What a fucking asshole.

This person is at least 15-20 years older then me, in an administrative role, and can no longer maintain professionalism when communicating with me. Fortunately for me, I am able to kill this person with kindness and continue smiling while working through our differences. However, this person has clearly displayed their inability to put differences aside and work together. I looked up the definition on administrative incompetence and this is what I came up with.....dysfunctional administrative behaviors that hinder attainment of organization goal. Yup, that fits.

Now I get that you are not always going to like people you work with, or agree with them, or enjoy their company, etc. But what I know, is that remaining professional is of utmost importance to me. You don't have to like me, and I don't have to like you, but we do have to work together so squash that shit on the job front and act like a fucking professional. I'd love to say all of these things to this person, but I would then be stooping to a level that I will not allow myself to go. If this were my personal life, totally different, I'd speak my mind, hence the blog.

I'm so unbelievably frustrated and unhappy at this point. My replacement is now starting a week later then anticipated. I had agreed to stay for 3 weeks ONLY if it was a 100% go on the original start date. That has been pushed back a week. Now, I know some of you are thinking, it's just a week, what's the big deal. Read above, that's the big deal, not to mention the place is a zoo and someone is going to get hurt. So instead of two months of coverage, that pushes me into three months of coverage in a miserable situation. I don't even want to go onto the floor on Monday. There is a limit to the amount of shit one person can tolerate. And you know what, I have far surpassed that twice over.

INCOMPETENCE RULES!!!!!
