Relax!!! You seem like the type of person that brings down morale! Who are you to decide who should be hired or not? If the new people want to learn teach them and stop trying to form cliqs at work and just that work! Everyone has strong points and if ur there to be intimidating then ur not the right candidate for management or even a TEAM player!
I am the person who gets stuck cleaning up other people's messes. I tell our new people how it should be done, and some of them ignore it and make things crappy for everyone else. Thankfully we have one I'm training who is good at listening to me, and he just needs more practice to improve.
I think that as adults, we should all handle our own stuff. The person doing production should put up the drugs periodically. The person doing drop off should fix their typing errors. I feel like a baby sitter most of the time. I'll come in from a day off to find 3 or 4 baskets of drugs that were left over from the previous day, and 3 or 4 open bottles of the same medication. Stuff was put in QI that we had, but no one could find it because it was never put back after being used. We're out of or almost out of vial, caps, or liquid bottles.
All of these are things that people should be responsible for. I should not have to spend the first 30 minutes of my shift restocking supplies and reshelving drugs. At the end of my production shift, I will usually take 10 minutes or so to print and pull several prescriptions for whoever is taking over and reshelve my used drugs. I restock supplies as I work.
I don't want the final say in who gets hired, but I do want to have input since it seems that half of them never go to their orientation (so they basically quit before they begin). I have no problem with teaching our newbies, but I do have a problem with being asked 10 times how to do something. As I said before, a few times should be enough. I had a coworker who worked with us for 3 months and still couldn't look up cash prices when he went to university, despite being shown dozens of times. He was a good guy and I liked him, but man he was infuriating sometimes.
You make me laugh with your "not a team player" comment. I am a team player. I just think everyone needs to contribute to the team. As it is, me and one other tech take on the majority of the responsibility. We work all the stations, do all the ordering, and it's not uncommon for us to decide who works what station and make schedules. Often when we're trying to show one of the newbies how to do something, they're told by the PIC to just let us do it and help the next customer.
We're trying to play to our tech's strengths, but we rarely have enough of a lead on production/drop off that we can train someone else how to do it. As the primary producer (for being super fast/accurate), I will usually get us an hour or two ahead, then let a newbie take over. Though after the first few times I stick them on production, I feel I should not have to constantly remind them to look at the screen and check for waiters/new prescriptions. Just refresh it every few prescriptions that you fill, not so hard.
Like I said, we have one who is really good at listening to me, and he's really improving. Unfortunately, two of the others (who I should say are older than me, but less experienced) prefer not to listen to me and they gum up the works. I really don't want to come out and say "listen to me because I know the job better than you," but if they keep on the way they're going, they're never going to improve.
Wow, that turned out long.
