I am curious, If you were called into the Directors/Managers office what is your first thought?.
In our unit we have an element of fear and distrust, I was told recently by our new director that this thought pattern has to stop. For example I was asked to come to the office and my first question was 'am I in trouble?'
I said that it will take time for us to trust after a long period of unstability but was informed that we have to now trust her, but I am still having difficulty trusting because I am told to do, is this unreasonable. I do have good vibes from the new director but I am reserving my trust and respect until she has proven herself.
Usually being called in means you're in trouble.....on my floor, praise doesn't happen. You learn to take your comforts from the patients, not management.
I agree my manager is trying to change the culture on our floor, interestingly a fair few readers have had the similar concerns when being asked into their managers office.

My first thought is what does she need help with. She and I both have a lot of experience and we bounce stuff off each other all the time. I have, however been called in a couple of times for shooting my mouth off. Don't assume to worst.
