I have a coworker who told me the most disturbing comment that the DON directed at her. Apparently, her mother in law passed away in India and she asked for 2 weeks off to attended her funeral. She was told no because she had recently returned from India after being gone for 6 weeks on FMLA due to her mother in law's illness. The DON allegedy stated "that she is tired of hiring all these foreigners because all they want to do is go back to their countries for weeks at a time." Maybe she is forgetting that she is Polish herself. The coworker went to HR and had a formal complaint lodged against her for this comment and has also gone to the CNO. What more can be done? She always seems to lash out at nurses who she thinks do not have backbones.
