Ok... I may be crazy, but it honestly seems like my agency is out to get me. Not the families I nurse for, or my immediate supervisors, but the office staff. I kid you not, every week they call me to b**** at me about something thats either... a) easily fixable without contacting me, b) a mistake on their end, or c) they call to "remind me" [which reads harass and threaten] about something that I've already taken care of or have already told them would be taken care of shortly.
I was almost written up yesterday for their mistake. I got an angry voicemail about me working unapproved overtime. I worked my 40 hours, and thats all I worked. When I called back, instead of giving me the chance to straighten them out, they immediately started in on how I have to get all overtime approved. Yeah, like I don't know this already. I've been with the company for just about a year now, and they constantly remind us is memos. I finally got a chance to break into the lecture I was receiving and quickly stated that I didn't work overtime. Their response? "Oh, yeah. I guess you didn't. I have your time card right in front of me. Saves me from having to lecture you and write you up". Why they just wouldn't double check the time card in the first place is beyond me.
Other things I've dealt with in the past 2 months (some of you may have read some of my earlier posts) are harassment regarding an unexpired cpr card, being told I have to work all shifts even if I'm sick (apparently its ok to expose immunocompromised patients), mistakes... many, many mistakes, on my paychecks, and lost time card and charting. I feel like every time my name comes up, they immediately find some fault with me. Even if there is none.
They seem to be looking for anyway to get rid of me. I've NEVER had a problem like this with any employer before. I'm a good, hard worker. I'm already actively looking for other employment, but sadly, its proving difficult.
Has anyone else had, or is having, issues like this with their employers?

Kudos. What a true statement. Employees are like children. Keep them engaged and they cause less problems.
