Facility trying to demote me

I was hired as the activity director for a skilled nursing facility back in June. Wait, no sorry. Let me back up: I interviewed for that position but was told I would be hired as the Social Services assistant. The day of my orientation, the HR woman said I would actually be the Activities Director. Apparently a certification is required but I was told by the administrator that I could work under hers, with zero detail provided to me about how to get my own. Since then, I have been fulfilling all the duties including planning, care plans, care plan meetings, charting, etc. I have raised activity participation levels to about 20% of our census, no matter what the census is. The admin quit about 6 weeks ago and our building was also sold. In that time, I was told they would need to hire a director and effectively demote…


I was hired as the activity director for a skilled nursing facility back in June.

Wait, no sorry. Let me back up:

I interviewed for that position but was told I would be hired as the Social Services assistant.

The day of my orientation, the HR woman said I would actually be the Activities Director.

Apparently a certification is required but I was told by the administrator that I could work under hers, with zero detail provided to me about how to get my own.

Since then, I have been fulfilling all the duties including planning, care plans, care plan meetings, charting, etc. I have raised activity participation levels to about 20% of our census, no matter what the census is.

The admin quit about 6 weeks ago and our building was also sold.

In that time, I was told they would need to hire a director and effectively demote me, with no mention as to how I could grt the certification.

Today, the HR woman came to me and tried to get me to retroactively complete a job description back to my DOH stating I was the assistant.

I refused to sign it. Especially moving back to the date of hire, because I was NEVER the assistant.

She got suuuuper snippy with me which is a separate issue but part of the bigger problem of how bad I got fucked here.

Is there anything to be done here?

I want them to pay for the certification but even then, it would take a minimum of 6 months and I don’t feel like I should be (literally) paying for their dysfunction.
