Specializes in Trauma Surgery, Nursing Management.
Sometimes I think that managers like to wield power over their staff when calling them to their office. There is no reason for the entire cloak and dagger routine. If I wanted to speak to someone privately, I would preface my statement with, "I need to talk to you about an incident that was brought up involving you and I need to hear your side", or "I need to speak with you privately about some good things".
One of the frustrations that I have found working in nursing is that there are few managers that shoot from the hip. I hate innuendos and comments that are left to suggestion. Staff tend to lose respect for managers like this, and I am hoping that your situation, OP can be worked out to your advantage.
