I noticed yesterday and today while at work that my new boss knew the name of every employee and resident we came across. Every single one of them...
A refreshing change, coming from a place where people were often times identified according to their physical appearance or actions (good or bad):
"...the overweight nurse..."
"...the resident who's a hoarder..."
"...the guy who dropped off the flowers yesterday..."
"...the nurse with the funny walk..."
"...the pretty girl at the till..."
"...the pretty girl at the till..."
"...the care aid with brown hair..."
Names are important. They form part of our identity. You take away my name, you take away my identity.
