Comment on if you're offered a position you can use to advance your career but it involves people without boundaries, do you tell your maybe-future-to-be manager you don't want to work with those people?

So right up front, you want to inform your supervisors

they’re not my supervisors, they MIGHT be, though.

And you think that’s going to go well for you?

I don’t know how it’s going to go. What I don’t want is to work with those 2. Peace of mind is more important than advancing a career.

You call me weird for not wanting to work with people who drain me… well, all power to you.

Are you angry at me because I actually get to choose the people I work with? My actual gig is very light on the drama side. If somebody pesters me I get to leave that place.

and choose another candidate for the job.

good luck with that. You clearly don’t work healthcare. Are you a manager btw?

You don’t get to choose who you work with

actually I do, everybody does, you can quit, you can work part time, you can start looking for a job that better fits you and then either 2 week notice it or quit on the spot. You mean you’ve never met people who quit not the job itself but a manager, a charge or certain coworkers? I don’t know if YOU cannot choose the people you work with or you’re convinced you cannot do that, but everyone has a choice: in my case, either advance my career now accepting I have to deal with those 2 moronic gossips or either keep my current job and look for the next opportunity. A third option would be to fake give them the attention so desperately need for a minute and then go back to learning and ignore them. And a fourth one, do nothing, stay where I am without thinking about advancing my career. I’m sure you can choose as well, it’s only you’re convinced you cannot. Maybe you think it’s easier for you to stay where you are or you think changing might be too much of a hassle. Doing nothing is also a choice.

Who told you that you could go through life without the minor inconvenience of having to deal with conflicting personalities?

Now you sound like a granddad or a mother who didn’t have it too good fully convinced everyone must have it as bad as you. Ironically, this happens way too often in nursing: you remind me of how old nurses act with the new grads.

Are you calling me entitled for wanting a quiet life? knock yourself out, but, are you implying you don’t want that? why?

you don’t get some protective bubble from the icky, inconvenient parts.

You’re being conformist. If everyone thought like you nobody would have changed jobs ever.

You sound angry. Are you angry?
