MANGERS, SUPERVISORS, BOSSES: What do you think of a manager who, during our last staff meeting, asked us not to bring any problems to her...that she was at her emotional limit and...

if we had a problem, just to work it out ourselves and just GET ALONG….she is new at this position, and has no previous experience as a manager. She is over many nurses who have many years of experience. We are responsible for surgical patients…I surveyed several MD’s and peers and they all agreed that she is WRONG…that handling problems is a part of what she gets paid to do….new or not. All feedback greatly appreciated. She and I have a great line of communication, and there ARE some current problems that need to be addressed. The boss above her is a TOTAL clueless person who is NOT approachable at all….
