Company I work for here in Phoenix has decided we will wear Scrub tops/bottoms in colors they have chosen. No uniform allowance, not paid for by them.
I showed up today with their color tops, but wore my black pants ..they stretch when I bend or have to kneel down, unlike scrubs, which I have torn doing the same ..yes .. right across the back of my butt no less .. I swore then I'd never wear that cheap fabric for pants again.. LOL.
Anyway, Nurse Supervisor met me in hallway, told me to go home.
Had just gotten report and counted for shift change .. I was in the process of taking my badge off and handing it to her when I stopped myself.
Wow.
Just wouldn't do to quit right on the spot.
Went home, sent a resume out, .. LOL
My wife found a pair of scrub pants I had that were the correct color that I havent worn since way back then.
I am still debating whether I should go back in tomorrow or just call 'em and tell them where to send my check.
Comes down to the last straw .. no raise, not even a cost of living bump for the year and a half I have been there.. high patient load with more and more patients that need a lockdown Alzheimer's unit, not just me and one aid.. and now they want me to lay out a few hundred dollars for an arbitrary decision on their part that just doesn't make sense for me at all.
-shrug-
Sorry .. had to vent.
Not like I have to do a single thing they want, I will go work somewhere else for more pay that is closer. Throw me into that briar patch!
