That receptionist has a nasty disposition about herself. You work in a field where your face is the center of attention and a nice attitude can go a long way. These companies need to watch who they hiring especially in the healthcare field cause you never know who you may have encounters with. If you don’t like your job and don’t want to SERVE ppl QUIT ! I can’t walk into a residents room with this attitude FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
