I once quit during orientation.
I was a nurse's assistant. Was looking for better pay than what I had. Applied to a nursing home. They jumped at a big dude with experience.
So, it comes to orientation. We're doing a tour of the place, being given the usual "here's the gloves, here's the laundry" look-see.
This is during the early morning. We come down one hall, and there's patients sitting, naked, in the halls in shower chairs. There's feces on a couple of them. There's feces under some of them.
The admin giving the tour just walks past like this is normal and acceptable.
I'm getting kinda pissed, but I figured that if they were hiring this hard, maybe it wasn't the norm.
We turn the corner, and there's a fucking patient being slapped. Repeatedly.
I flip my shit, start moving towards the douche doing the slapping. It's the fucking director of nursing for the place.
I saw that name tag and told her to expect a call from every damn agency I could think of.
I walked the fuck out, right to a pay phone and called the cops. It didn't amount to anything, since there were obviously witnesses that said I was full of shit.
But the state agencies and dss were not so lax. The place ended up shut down until it got sold to some chain company.
