I work in a bigger city at a well known hospital on a surgical post operative floor. We are swamped, all the time. We are always short staffed. The hospital has been giving us incentive pay if we pick up shifts, but I’m exhausted. I absolutely love my job and I wouldn’t want to do anything else, but since the pandemic it’s been so hard. Sorry about venting
Basically I found out the sports team I worked for did a lot of shady stuff. Example: they used donations made to their nonprofit to buy tickets and give them to people. Also used a large donation from the team owner's family foundation to pay a worker that sorta kinda 'ran' the 501c but she mostly worked on corporate partnerships. Where to report?
I suppose this is pretty mild all things considered but thought I’d share anyway. So as interviews often go, at the tail end they turn the tables and ask if you have any questions for them. After I asked the usual I finished up with: “Do you have any concerns about me or my abilities to successfully meet the requirements of this role?” Interviewer hit me with: “Nothing on paper.” Implying that over the course of the interview he developed concerns about me due to my answers rather than my resume, experience, or actual abilities. Feels bad man.
This just happened to my mom and I'm looking for advice. So my mom just found out Friday, 4/8 that she was being fired for not meeting “performance expectations” prior to the 90 probation. She was working for a particular doctor on 4/5 that blew up at her over something minor. On Friday, they gave her a letter that was dated 4/5 saying she was being terminated that day but didn't receive it till 4/8. My moms probationary period was over on 4/10 and she was supposed to receive her additional $250 sign on bonus. My mom has had great reviews and feed back from the other doctors so this has come as a complete surprise. I'm having her file unemployment but I just found this insanely suspicious. They did not give her final check and are issuing it via direct deposit. Any advice?
I feel sick. I got the news when I saw my phone during my shift break. Was trying to process it all and didn’t realise I was 5 minutes late back to the floor. Supervisor burst it and asked what I’m doing. Tears in my eyes I tell her what happened, I can’t go back out there. Screamed at me that I’ll be terminated if I don’t. State of grogginess whilst scanning items through the til. Coworkers telling me to hurry up. Worst shift yet.
Today in a work meeting it was stated we were only supposed to work 4 hours one day instead the usual 6 hours. This was only told to us today. Even though the day in question was a over a week ago. Apparently those who did work the 6 hours had to get approval. This was NEVER mentioned to me and I worked the 6 usual hours instead of the supposed to be 4. In the work meeting with all my co-workers there too it was stated to me that I could possibly not get paid for my 2 hours because it was not “approved”. I got heated and went off. We use work logs and I can easily prove I worked it. Once I defended myself, with all my co-workers watching on zoom too; the guy mentioned that I will get paid for it thankfully. And that it’s on…
Just got a call from my manager saying the company wants to end my contract. I’m in the hospital for two months at least for health reasons. It is illegal in my country to fire someone during their sick leave. They won’t make me sign anything until my sick leave is over I’m sure. The reason is “lack of experience” and “negative feedback from clients”, I have yet to receive proof of the latter. I have only received exceptionally positive feedback in the past. I just don’t understand. I’m guessing it’s cheaper to replace me. I feel used. I don’t know if I can and want to fight this.
