I said to the new HR director, as I gave him The Look: "I am being called down to HR after working my THREE. TWELVE HOUR. MIDNIGHT SHIFTS."
"So forgive me if I seem a bit prickly".
I was being called down to HR for "not adhering to safety measures" as was presented in this thread:
It seems that I was being written up because I went against and "did not adhere to safety measures by propping the NS door open".
Guilty as charged.
"I will adhere the the safety measures", I wrote on the form. "In my defense, I wanted to hear what happens out in the hallway, as I was recently attacked by a patient and no one heard".
There were only a couple of lines on the form for a response, so I just put down only the very basics, for the time being.
This situation is actually a long, drawn out story, a journey fraught with convoluted twists and turns, past transgressions & broken promises, and multiple other thises & thats, but that's the gist of it.

I love that you don't back down, Davey. Don't forget, you were assaulted. I would find some way of milking that. Maybe get a doctor to diagnose you with a mild case of PTSD and then file a grievance for harassment. Or at least threaten to.
If you play your cards right (ha! get it?) you may be able to score some free lunches or extra PTO. At the very least make the prospect of harassing you to be more trouble than fun for them.

In March 2017... I filed a grievance... and nothing else happened. No follow through, no closure.
I started off this current write up meeting by declaring that it is customary and appropriate to resolve old business before bringing up new business. HR had not completed the old business concerning my grievance and was now bringing up new business through this write up.
The new HR director said he would look into the old business
Update: Two weeks have passed and I have had no response from HR.
I don't really expect a response, but will keep you posted if I get one.
