I have a full time job but some coworkers suggested I could apply to a department with a manager who seems to be a complete sociopath and seems to always need personnel.
In said department, there was a nurse that worked part time to finance her bachelor to be a physician assistant with the promise to be hired afterwards. She was sometimes very talkative and a gossip but otherwise a good nurse. Barely a week before the contract was to be signed, after she got her degree, she was told they found a better candidate with more experience so they wouldn’t hire her.
Obviously, she used all her sick days and then quit. Why would anyone work for a manager like this?
Chilling and very sad that people are sometimes like this. She was used.
Would you work for a manager like this? Because some coworkers would like me to apply to work for this guy,because they’re always shorthanded. I’m not asking because I need this job, but because it’s always good to know what other options you have before looking elsewhere.
Believe people when they show you who they are would apply here.


Hell no. Your manager has a direct influence over your wellbeing, and the wellbeing of your family, by way of being able to demand things of you, with a power differential that lets them hold your employment over your head. You really want your manager to be on your side. There is no way I would step into a role where the manager wasn’t agreeable, unless the pay was so good I could quit at any time and be undoubtedly better off financially than I am right now, as in needing like double pay.
