Told my job I'd quit if they didn't reduce my on call schedule. They didn't so I'm about to put my two weeks in and they will not be down bad.
I work in healthcare and started doing bedside work again after years of admin experience (covid). Once my burn out was settled I decided it was time to go back to admin stuff. I have a masters degree and multiple certifications from accredited associations.
I work at a small hospital so I don't want to be vain but they are lucky to have someone with my experience in the position they moved me into (which is my expertise). The position I work in typically pays about 80k but since its a smaller hospital its about 60k- however I still feel like im being paid less than others in my role because they just moved my roles but never changed my job code. So in HR it still looks like im doing bedside- never signed a new job description
The board of the hospital really likes me and the CEO is giving me new things to implement and policies to work on and finishing lots of necessary projects (this specific job has had 5 turnovers since covid)…
The catch is we agreed I'd be on call one weekend a month for my OLD bedside position to help the current staff have time off. When I first agreed to take the position the agreement was only one weekend of call a month or else I would not take the position. One month into my new job I was scheduled two weekends. Now month two and Im on call two weekends again!
After the second month I had enough. I told my boss I'd leave if I don't get maximum of one weekend call a month. She explained with budget that if I left they would not refill my old bedside call position (leaving them even WORSE off). I told them with family and work life balance I would not do it and I'd consider putting my notice in if they couldn't reduce my on call. Two days later she came back and stated she does not think she would be able to reduce call but added some diff benefits like moved my calendar away from my previous boss… but no true beneficial change…. I said I could tolerate that. Since then (one weeks ago) I've been not giving af.
I applied to about 6 jobs and have 3 promising interviews this week… all of them work from home positions that pay more. They are about to have two empty positions and unable to approve for a new bedside position so they will be worse off than before instead of just compromising. Want to just put my notice in today but don't want to risk it. I hope they regret not compromising.
