wow, who would have thought after 20 years in nursing I would be without a job. I was 18+ years in a nursing Union, and did the one thing I said I would never do...... got lured out of the union into management! worked my behind off on a job I loved. Worked 50 and 60 hrs a week..... (paid for the management 40 hrs) on call 24/7, not able to take a weekend off or vacation in years. Finally it got to be too much. New boss. Harassment. overworked. I bid back on one of the open floor jobs at the hospital.
and..... even though it was the exact job I left in the union.. the job while I held it I earned employee of the month twice.....employee of the year once...and nominated for nurse of distinction. ...never a bad evaluation. had not used a sick day in 3 years...... I was denied this job. And when I asked HR why.... they could not give me a reason! So since I bid on the job and was giving up my management position.... that left me without a job at all!!!!!! The hospital has 3 open Med Surge Positions.... I am qualified for all, and bid on 4 different jobs in the hospital! and nothing. nada. zilch. with no reason from HR.
so after working 20 years at this place, I am now filing for unemployment. How humiliating! I go from working 240 hrs a month, being on call all the time, to nothing. My first day off in 3 weeks was the day they escorted me to my car and told me they would not give me a union staff job. Really? That is what hard work and loyalty give you?
