Dear, Precious CSN Family - I don't even know what to say, except THANK YOU so very much for the prayers! Here's a bit of an update, and honestly I think things may be getting worse. This past Friday, the intake/crisis department of our Huntsville Regional Office suffered a round of layoffs. This regional office is only about 10 miles away from our inpatient facility. So, what the corporate management has done is move everything which was done by this office to our office. So now we have about 3x's the number of appointments, we are still understaffed, but because of this office shut-down we have "inherited" another manager and another CRC (Crisis Response Consultant). However this "inherited" CRC will only being doing off-site appointments (at hospitals, schools, jails, etc...), so she will really be no help to us. And now we have 5 managers for a department of 11 people (and that count of 11 includes the managers...so almost half of our department is management :( ) Most of us non-management folks were already unhappy (mostly because we were overworked and seriously underpaid), and now with this happening, it's been like kicking a hornet's nest. 3 of the 6 of us non-managers are very seriously considering just walking out. I have some strong emotions mostly because I worked for the manager we "inherited" in the past (in fact she was the one who hired me with the company initially). One of the main reasons I went to the inpatient facility was to get away from her. She treated me very badly, and by doing so I lost all respect for her. She has a very "large" personality and I fear she will try to take over. I am attempting to curb any emotions and/or reactions until I see how things "shake out". But I am very, very glad I am on third shift, so I don't have to directly deal with the majority of the managers. But things are chaotic and emotions are high. So please pray for me and my department. Thank you, again! Sorry this was soooo long! Much Love!
BLESS YOUR HEART...PRAY IT UP AND PERSEVERE AND REMEMBER WHEN JESUS STARTS MOVING THERE IS USUALLY A "SHAKE UP" OF THE NORM DAY TO DAY PROTOCOLS. NOW WE KNOW WHY JESUS HAS YOU ON 3RD SHIFT, SO YOU WILL NOT BEAR THE BRUNT OF TOOOOOO MANY MANAGERS AND NOT ENOUGH WORKERS. BUT WE HAVE BEEN PRAYING AND OUR JESUS HEARS THE PRAYERS OF HIS OWN. SO KEEP PRAYING IT UP AND STAY STRONG AND PERSEVERE...OUR JESUS HAS A PLAN FOR YOU SWEET DAWN!!!! AND YOUR CSN FAMILY WILL KEEP STORMING HEAVEN FOR YOU AND YOUR OVER-WORKED CO-WORKERS!!!!
