I finally have had enough. If you've followed anything I've written about the nepotism-rampant place I used to work, you'll probably be as unsurprised as me. But for once, I'm done.
After I eft full-time employment at this prior clinic, I agreed to fill in on my days off until they could secure another NP. Well, new NP is there, but there's a problem with her paperwork. So, I went in to help earlier this week.
When I got there, my check for (I thought) the extra day we worked before Turkey Day, the week of Turkey Day, and the day I filled in the week before was on my desk. Great. Put it in my bag and went on. The new girl was there, and before I knew it, she was shadowing me, asking questions (which I didn't mind), and trying to take the chart and flip through it while I was trying to write (which I DID mind). We maintained, but after lunch, we were talking about a place she interviewed, where they lowballed her salary offer. I sympathized and said something to the effect of "Yeah, salary isn't great around here...I asked for $XXX here and they would not do that, even." She looked at me and goes, "Really? They did more than that for me."
So, that cheesed me off, naturally, since what I asked for was about $20,000 more than what they were paying me. I was professional, I finished out my day, but I had already decided that that would be it. No more.
Then I got home and thought to open my check. One day. That was all I was paid for. No extra Friday, no Turkey Day week.
And no, I have not called to raise Cain. I know what they'll say, that I was technically salaried on the extra Friday, and that I was technically not an full time employee on the week of Turkey Day. But after a year of service, it would have been nice. As the title says, it was no less than I expected, but still steams my clams.
So, would y'all even try for what I feel I'm owed? Or just cut losses, know that you won't be back, and have them mail you the pittance that would be your last check?
Thanks for reading the novel, if you made it this far.
