Individuals=residents, I never ever said anything about any of the Charges....You made that insinuation then it your mind it became reality, now your in denial.

Oh. now you want to claim you are not employed to assist these folks. If you do, they are your charges.

Oh, I see the problem. You apparently do not understand the use of the word "charges" when in reference to the "individuals" or "residents" you assist. Here is Merriam-Webster's take on it. Take a look on down to #3.

Now YOU re-read what I wrote, then go back to what you wrote, and do it over and over until you understand what YOU read. Residents are the elderly "we" care for. Charges are the ones who care for the residents/elderly. Should I type slower? T h e / C h a r g e s / a r e / n o t / t h e/ i n d i v i d u a l s/ w e / c a r e / f o r. Charges help care for individuals....

 

[faithnlve]

I really really wish someone else would help you understand what I am trying to get through your thick head. You are not getting it.....Charges are aides....the "individuals are the ones us aides care for....they are called residents/individuals/elderly. You sent a full page of definitions....a charge is someone who cares for another or entrusted to care for another. So now.....understand my first and second posting and questions by going back and re-reading with that understanding.

You know what faith?

You have a lot of nerve. SEVERAL of us (and forgive me for speaking for all of us here) have been more than accommodating to you and your 602 posts of incessant drama that you have subjected us to since you've joined this site. People have advised you ENDLESSLY, even no one wanted to anymore, they CONTINUED to advise you. You repay that with this snotty attitude like you know everything. Clt was right, there was a point where you couldn't even pee without posting here first and again, this attitude you've got is for the birds. Do yourself a favor and stop arguing with folks here. Go find a forum where they will tell you what you want to hear, the way you want to hear it and will listen to you..... constantly. You've burned bridges all over this forum. Go away now.

So your going to use the fact I have used this site...with good help from others...to put down the posts I have written along with your 1000 or more posts as "drama". Well this forum is for people looking for answers. IF there was never the drama as you so adamantly write then your so called forum would not be in use. I am not being any more snotty than you or the ones whom respond snottily.

You accuse me of being a jerk....here is where the belittling begins.

 

[goingcrazy59]

Over used this site is more like it.

Actually, last I checked, I had more than 6000 posts... none of them filled with my drama. I don't do drama, sorry. However, I understand since it's your forte, you'd sure know it.

The difference is that we aren't asking for advice. YOU are.
...
don't make any promises you don't intend on keeping... but if you PROMISE to leave, i'll ask everyone to say goodbye.

Cry me a river. If they know you and can tolerate you for more than 5 minutes, we probably don't need them to post here. Besides, you've posted on just about everyone you know's behalf already. They shouldn't have anymore questions.

I am new here...and surprised how this person was treated. I looked at some of her threads and feel for her. She seemed nice and I don't understand why now after being a good even loyal person to this site she is being treated as an outcast. ouch

 

[ecmst12]

"Charges" is a common way to describe people whom one is charged with the care of. For example, your patients are your charges (even though your employer has a different group of people it refers to as charges), or a teacher's students are his/her charges. This is a common english usage not specific to any company. You may not have heard it before, but it IS proper english, unlike most of what you type.

If your employer actively sent this letter out telling the residents how to properly make donations for staff bonuses, it seems likely that they are simply waiting for all the donations to come in to calculate the bonuses. This takes time. You may just be impatient and maybe you need to wait a little longer. Do you know if this letter included a deadline?

 

[>Charlotte<]

You guys remind me of the bullies in school who liked to pick on the new kid, or steal lunch money from the smaller kids. And I can guarantee that this is exactly who you are and never gave two craps about anyone but yourselves. this forum is just a front to pull the new kid in. You know...put your arms around them then steal their lunch money after you convinced them your buddies.

What the heck are you talking about? Lunch money? Buddies? New kid? That's just weird.

Drop the victim mentality. You're not being bullied. You were extremely rude to someone who took the time to give you the information you asked for. His opinion didn't agree with yours so you had a temper tantrum. You're an adult, not a child. If you act like a six year old around here you're going to get smacked down, and that's what happened to you. You're not some innocent little lamb being picked on by the big bad wolves. Grow up.

 

[justalayman]

at some point, this thread changed from providing info, correct info which you refuse to accept, and turned into; faithnlve is lacking common sense to such an extent and is throwing a tantrum that I will simply play along and enjoy it.

Remember faith, you are the one that said you are leaving due to the improper treatment you recieved.

Since you are so good at saying "quote me", I ask the same; quote me where I treated you poorly; provided incorrect information; made fun of you prior to post 23 where you became belligerent and full of yourself. After that point, rather than stating you do not understand how the term "charges" applied (which you later did where I responded with dictionary definitions), you simply started blowing off about it wasn't dealing with the charges. Also notice, I said your charges. You stated the charges. That was part of the problem from the minute I used the term. You did not understand the usage and as such just went nutso.
