I work as a CNA and have a supervisor of sorts deliberately pushing my buttons.
I started working here about 8 months ago but have been doing this kind of work for four years.
So the scoop is I have been down the same wing every day since I started working here. It's my primary wing and I've established a degree of closeness and relationships with my patients. They know me well as I do them.
However, this new scheduler, who is also sort of the supervision for CNAs, has decided to start scheduling me down different wings that I am not accustomed to and personally do not want to work since I have an established wing that I have become familiar to.
I made it clear to the higher-ups, that I will, if it came to it, quit working here if they continue to try to put me down other wings. I have not been given 1 good reason why they are doing this after talking to them.
Also, there are 8 other CNAs that I can think of off the top of my head, and 2 nurses whom "NEVER" are assigned to other wings. Ever.
I have brought this fact up and I'm still (most consistently now) being scheduled down any and every other wing other than the one I always work on.
How I have been dealing with it is I just switch wings with other employees and everything is fine. Everyone I work with knows I work down the wing I do and have no problem switching. Often times I come into work and they already made the switch because they know when i come in I work down that wing and will not go to another. But now this supervisor/scheduler posted a notice that write ups and discaplinary action may result in doing this.
I have good reason to believe that she is now scheduling me like this on purpose and for no other reason than to push my buttons and we got into a sort of argument about it recently as well.
I understand they reserve the right to put me where they want me, legally.
But It is not fair at all when many of the other employees never have to move and are "never even asked to move!'
What do I do? I don't want to quit my job, I like it here. I already spoke my mind to the supervisor/scheduler and the DON and it continues to happen. Well, the DON said she personally doesn't care if I switch but that It's not set in stone that I may never not have to.
Yet I come into work and it happens again. I also dont want to put other employees at fault for a write up because they are switching with me.
I was also wondering if there is a way or reason to leave work on the spot (for the day) that is covered under any laws. Because I am seriously holding that idea in reserve if this happens and there comes a time they absolutely tell me I cannot switch (which hasnt happened yet)
Again I dont want to quit my job but I am dreding every day I go in now what will happen.
