It was OK for awhile - Materials Manager Select Medical Employee Review

Things started off ok here, but the workload became unbearable. The job is decent and salary is ok, but you're expected to babysit some of the nursing staff. I got blamed for things not being stocked when it was right in front of their faces. There was too many meetings especially during the busiest time of the month and most meetings served no purpose. Staff wouldn't communicate supply needs until it was too late. Expensive equipment was lost and no one was held accountable, but I was forced to spent a good amount of time looking for it. Got blamed for things out of my control (backorders, equipment pick-ups, low staffing). Was responsible for trying to find temp staff for my department, train them daily since they were usually new and help train the other materials manager at the other location (who later stepped down due to lack of staffing). Tolerated years of a nurse manager who was bully and had multiple staff quit because of her. My role quickly became a catch-all for building maintenance, environmental services and computer repair. You'll get called on weekends and the last several months was only able to take half day vacations as there wasn't enough assistance. Took a week off and things fell apart and got blamed for that too. Ended up losing a week's worth of vaca time since you can only carry over 2 weeks and wasn't able to use the rest due to be short-handed. Attendance policy is archaic (people get sick and that includes kids)
