I’m going to summarize this the best I can, hopefully I can’t provided the provided details for a quality answer.
I have been doing scheduling for a large medical department at a prestigious college for over a year and a half. I’ve had nothing but stellar reviews the entire time. About 9 months ago our current manager left and was replaced with an incompetent and lazy manager who to this day doesn’t understand our full department and scheduling procedures) for all 7 sub specialities within the practice and their different scheduling procedures we have.
It’s obvious now that she wanted to clear house of anyone before her. Of the 14 long time employees we had when she started we now have 2 left, me included.
I’ve been over securitized for months now for nothing but semantics. Recently I had to deal with a referring office that was referring for an urgent appt requiring sx, needing them seen within the next 2 day, and they couldn’t provide insurance, despite initiating the pt did have health insurance but they were unable to provide it. We have have a resident clinic, which is really where this should been scheduled. The issue was really a language barrier between the pt and referring office.
Any ways, I started by checking with the resident clinic about overbooking them so they coulomb be seen in the requested time.After they were unable to help I called my boss immediately after, who told me the pt must be scheduled. So I call back and let them know, per my boss pt must be scheduled. They again refused. From there my boss took over and scheduled the pt, I left it there besides documenting on what happen to cover my own ass.
Anyways this turns into a huge issue, with clinic writing an email to the head of our entire dept calling me out by name. Situation escalated with the head of the dept but I’m completely egxzanurated from there claims because they confused my boss scheduling the pt as me scheduling them. Either way the call is pulled And I’m thrown under the bus for silly semantics in language as the scape goat.
This leads to an hour long meeting, which had to end early and I was told would resume. Well it never did resume then comes my performance eval, where is told I need “coaching on oversharing” while I’m not in trouble/ on probation I’m being required to come back in the office (I’ve been WFH for 8 months) for 90 full day. I will now be getting WEEKLY reviews reviews (4-8x my peers), this is an obvious attempt to create a paper trail leading to my termination
I see this as constructive dismissal 100%. It seems Very unfair. Even if their intention isn’t to fire, they are going to be looking for a justified reason to put me on probation, which wouldn’t allow me to seek different other employment at the university for 6months, surely using that time to force me to reign or get fired.
Do I have a case for constructive dismissal? If so how do I build this case?
Yes I have been applying for transfer, but it takes time I might not have
