Case Study February 22, 2012 The Forgotten Team Member Case Study: How did the team get into this situation? The team got into this situation, first of all, by judging the other group members before getting to know them. Christine, the leader of the group, immediately classified each team member by her initial judgments of them. Janet was struggling with time management between her part time jobs and school and Christine didn’t respect this. Since Janet couldn’t make it to meetings they gave her what was “left over” and didn’t even keep her in mind.
On one occasion a service user (S.U) was distressed so kept pulling the buzzer. I asked on a few occasions if she needed any help but refused to tell me what was wrong. A member of staff came and asked the S.U what was wrong in a calm and reassuring tone to show the S.U that she was there to help. The S.U told the member of staff that she was upset as during the night the nurse didn’t come to see her very often during the night and she couldn’t get in touch with her partner as he wouldn’t answer the phone. She then became very upset and began to cry.

Rarely do I justify outward anger or irritability towards coworkers, but this particular day I did. Losing my temper toward my coworkers instantly closed the door to any possibility of comprise or resolution. No longer was I in control of my actions.

Needless to say I instantly I felt better!
I just lost it and said, “If that’s the best you can do, just go away, get out of my life. I’ve had it with you.” And I hung up. That was a week ago and I haven’t heard from her since - and quite honestly, if I don’t hear from her again it’s no big loss.
