Is this common elsewhere ?
I have lateshift today and they called me this morning to come a bit earlier cause someone got sick.
I finally said no this time. Just came to work and everyone is making me feel bad.
I told my boss that it's not my business and im Not getting paid that out group home has staff in a specific time frame. But it is my business to be there when she plans on me. I told her she can count on me to come to work, if Im sick Im sick and won't come but she cant count on me doing shifts from others, that's the own responsibility of them and not mine. Its her job to have extra staff in case someone is sick Not my job.
She said because of me someone else had to come. I said it was because of your other nurse that got sick and the other nurse who came didn't come for me. She came for the lack of self esteem to say no TO YOU. I'm Not getting paid to take care of shift plans,YOU ARE.
Either way my Boss hates me now but she can't fire me because I'm doing my job good and I'm never sick and she knows that. She doesn't like the fact I don't hop in if needed. In my opinion it's unfair trying to make me feel bad for something I can't change. She should be mad at the other nurses who are sick every month
