First off: not in the U.S.
Second: English isn't my native language
Bit of background: I'm a registered nurse. I was hired by a private hospital on December 2019, along with other experienced nurses to cover their gaps; and then Covid happened. For two years straight, we were ran ragged. No raises, almost no days off, being at their beck and call. People started quitting left and right due to burnout. December of 2022 I'm fired/laid off, to avoid a mandatory raise.
On February 2023, I start working as a delivery driver (delivering medical supplies at patients' homes), which is fine because I worked as delivery driver throughout university. Fixed schedule (Monday to Friday 08:00-16:00) and 10% more money (plus the occasional tip). The only “problem” in my new job was that on the beginning of June, our route manager (the woman managing our appointments) left with maternity leave. Boss initially tried to take on him (managing the schedule), but he was out of his comfort zone. So, he gathered the drivers and four of us (including myself) were appointed to as temporary route managers (based on previous experience). That means I have to work 5 hours more a MONTH and getting a 10% temporary raise (for the new role). That started Monday.
And now the best part of my day today. About three weeks ago, a shift manager at my old hospital called me to cover a shift. I demand an extravagant amount of money to do it. He never called back. Since then, former colleagues started messaging me on social about how a was doing and how my new job was. Today, my former ward manager (which cultivated a toxic environment on the ward) called me to “see how I was doing”. I was formal and quickly went on a pitch to get my old job back.
I laughed hard for a couple of minutes and told her to anatomically correct have sex with herself.
