    they’ll use Teams to communicate throughout the day for staffing updates and to notify us of deaths

    My mind touched the void for a second reading this sentence.

    Having to use shitty teams throughout the day for primary communication is already miserable enough, but the idea of people using it to report deaths in the same way I might report a dead port on a switch (knowing that somebody at some point absolutely 👍’d it) is some macabre shit.

      I mean, it’s hospice lol. I work with some of the most compassionate, respectful, and caring people I could ever hope to work with. We also tend to have a macabre sense of humor. 🥴

        I don’t doubt it. It’s just a surreal thing to think about.

      It’s one of those industry things that are incomprehensible to outsiders. I work at a hospital, and my office is directly on the route between the ER and the morgue. I know how bad a day it’s been by how many morgue carts roll by during a shift. Just one of those things.
