obligatory I'm a German nurse living in Germany, but the German channels on lemmy don't have as many members as this one, so I ask here.
When I work I like to do my job and then relax. To me, doing it the other way round is just stupid. I was never the kind of person that goes to work to socialize, I don't need it and I strongly resent forced socialization.
For the last 2 years I've worked within the same hospital system and it's clear to me now, nobody thinks like me: all my coworkers spend the first hour of the shift talking about their private lives, as they were looking for excuses not to work and expect anyone else to take care of patients. And because I'm the only one with this job mentality, it's always me the one who works while the rest do nothing.
This is very frustrating and I'm now applying elsewhere, but it bothers me that my new workplace can turn out to be like this.
I'm also applying for office positions (no shifts) and wonder: does this happen there as well? Ideally I'd be completely responsible for my work alone.
I feel like a student at school again, when the teacher forced me to work in a group with the lazier ones and I ended up either doing most of the job or became as lazy as them. Why work when they don't?
I don't want to work with people who slow me down.
You're not seeing anything but what you want to see lol, can't even be bothered to read a couple of paragraphs because it's too hard (I doubt you're that hard of a worker with your attitude). The question was answered with an extensive explanation because you said you don't understand. Like before, you just choose to ignore it and again belittle anyone responding instead of the context of what they wrote so this is pointless. Have a good day!
