Professional: Busybodies...

I don't like them.

These are the folks who can't "mind their own business" and often find various ways to affect yours.

For instance, B-Rad contacted his nurse manager regarding pharmacy orders that really didn't make a damn bit of difference. I spoke with him on the phone. Later I get an email about it from my boss.

So I confront him, respectfully and professionally and ask him never to do that again. Of course my direct and friendly approach scared the shit out of him, but in the end, I think I got my point across.

So what's wrong with someone constructively criticizing me? Nothing. But I have no tolerance for people who sit back and play "Monday Morning Quarterback" when there are those of us who are busting their ass to get stuff done. I would be much less angry and irritated with these types of people if they rolled up their sleeves and were truly team players...

But then they wouldn't have time to be busybodies...
