I had a boss that was a constant micromanager. I started compiling lists of questions I had or things I actually needed for him and whenever he would come around I would just hit him with the list. I would even chase him down every time I knew he was in the vicinity. Eventually it got to the point where he would try to avoid me because he didn't want to do any actual work. He just wanted to "supervise" and I was ruining that for him.

Talk about irony, the same guy like to brag about not taking vacation time. I told him that people don't usually brag about their poor life choices. Fuck him. One of us was lazy and it definitely wasn't me.

My mom was a nurse. For her there was no down time. Usually she couldn't even stop to eat lunch. She'd just grab a granola bar or something and keep going. Hospitals are dangerously understaffed.

Yet there were still some people who would stand around chatting or whatever while her arthritic ass ran around the floor taking care of people.

I just straight up stay away from management lol. Work the night shift.

I don't work in medicine, but I've had plenty of demanding managers. My advice is to start advocationg for yourself and making sure you take your breaks, no excuses. And don't cut them short, put a timer or something. In some states, if your manager interrupts your break, the break restarts, check if that's an option for you and do just that. Same goes for your lunch. Know your worker rights and be ready to advocate for yourself as well as share that information with your coworkers. Finally, slow down your pace. Work is a marathon, there will always be more work for you. Rushing will only exhust you, and you will still have to do it again tomorow. Instead slow down so that you can do it again tomorrow.
