I thought i was smart enough to know all management tricks--( been a nurse 32 years).
Nope. The disorganization i work for quickly placed a mandatory 24 hour work week to qualify for benefits. LOSE YOUR VACATION ! ( mismanagement could not answer a question as to tax % it would be given to you when cashing out, LOSE your entire 400 hour sick bank that you have not taken/needed to use for 11 years).
Sadly I countered mismanagement's comment that OTHER local hospitals did this a year ago by saying " although that sounds logical and reasonable, if your neighbor jumped off a bridge, WOULD YOU JOIN IN? "........
I quickly changed employment status from 16 hours a week to 24. in 2 shifts ...because who really wants to spend their life at work? NOPE. dedicated YES. STUPID-NO!!!!
Fast forward 3 months--- out of no where, i find myself forced to a psych eval for " mania"---by a social worker in EAP--------
not for one second will i see my employers MD's- i SMELL
soooo....waiting 6 weeks to see the MD of my choice has run my ETO ( vacation) down to 9 hours and because FMLA papers need to be submitted before they will use my ESB ( earned sick bank to the tune of 420 hours).
My GUT feeling---oh can i see the handwriting on the wall that since i have such a stellar employment history , i cannot be fired---so they will do the GAS LIGHTING feature so commonly known and seen by management ( if you fall for it! and become their prey!!!)
How do you pry gently as to what the agenda could possibly be , and to WHOM ( as human resources has become nothing but litigation and union look out behavioral services paid by CORPORATE piranhas ) do you inform that management is BULLYING, GAS LIGHTING, LYING VIA DISTORTION, AND PROJECTION ?
WHO do you go and speak to about your manager being a psychopath, and a bad one at that---- ( no one cares anymore except for themselves)
Sadly, i am seasoned, wise as serpent yet gentle as dove--- know how to flip tables like Jesus and yet do not condemn the prostitute or social pariah ( there is no such a person--EVER!!)
My gut also says i am glass ceiling-ed out( max wages for my locale). they hate my skill and daisy wards and knowledge and personal acumen and stellar reviews for entire length of employment there ( pretty easy to do working 2 8 hour shifts a week)
............
the writing on the wall tells me they are setting me up to gracefully exit or transfer to another department..........
ANY ADVICE-- IDEAS-- PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE with said issues.........
what i want-- to leave on my own terms in my own time frame and SHAME ON THEM!
fact is, i may just be a catalyst after i exit on my own terms ( i am , terminally honest when NOT being employed by them)
