Difficult employees sometimes seem to be present for the single purpose of giving human resources departments and management problems. They are problematic workers and no matter where you go, they are everywhere. No association is protected from them. They are slightly more than time guzzlers who keep a person from being as industrious as they would like to be. One a more serious note, they can be a menace to the strength of your organization. Every supervisor has had to deal with a harmful…

Before I even started reading the article I thought about how hard it would be for myself to go in every day and see patients and that patients may or may not remember. I know in the begging it would be very hard for me to do this, but I feel as time went on that I would get used to it.
