Today I got an interesting e-mail. The hospital that I work at wants to sue me. Yeah, that's right. They just rehired me, I started orientation this week, and I get an email about an impending lawsuit. The reason?
I have it on my Facebook profile that I work there. According to the message I received, listing them as my place of employment, and then posting "negative things" about the hospital is slander. They even decided to post a screenshot of my posts. And when I looked at them, I almost died of laughter. My post reads: "So happy to get home and crawl into bed after a long night".
According to Administrators, "this post is written and showing negativity towards the hospital as a place of employment. When people from the general public read this post, they are going to get negative thoughts about the hospital, and they are going to want to take their business elsewhere, which means jobs might need to be sacrificed. Facebook posts that show unhappy staff members are not to be tolerated anymore".
Now folks, this post here comes from back when I previously worked at Shitty Hospital. This post was written after I worked by myself for a 12 hour shift with no other aides to help me, and I had 16 patients, 12 of whom were a 2+ assist, and 8 of whom were incontinent. And I don't know of too many people who would be full of fucking sunshine and rainbows after a night like I had.
The second thing they brought against me, is a picture I was tagged in with three of my friends. The caption of it is "girls night". In the picture we are setting in my friends living room. Administrators said that having pictures of partying or drinking will not be tolerated, because it is bad for hospital image, and they do not want people to think that they hire irresponsible people. There is no alcohol or anything in the picture, and it was not 'girls night out' it was just a simple picture of me and some friends watching movies.
Now several things about this really piss me off.
First of all, I absolutely loved working as a CNA. And in my post did I ever mention that I was happy to be away from the hospital. For all anyone knows, there could be numerous reasons why I could have been happy to see my bed. I could have been extremely drunk, I could have had car trouble and walked 10 miles, or I could have drank a bunch of Mt Dew and just stayed up all night, and was finally coming down from a caffeine high. Someone in administration just wanted to start some shit, so they decided that my post which has no affiliations with the hospital needed to be brought to my attention.
Secondly, my picture was not offensive. If they wanted to get a good picture to use against me, I have plenty where I am shitfaced, and posing with drinks in my hand. But obviously those are alright because they don't have a caption of "girls night".
Lastly, my Facebook profile is locked up tighter than Fort Knox. If you aren't a friend of mine, you don't see any of my information. So that means the little rotten snitch is someone I'm friends with, and nothing pisses me off more than a knifing backstabbing two-faced bitch.
Administration ended the e-mail by saying I would have 48 hours after reading to change my information, and if no actions were completed then the suit would follow through. So my solution? I am now a RN on a Med/Surg Unit. The way I see it, there are thousands of Med/Surg floors in the US, and my Facebook does not affiliate myself with any of them. I can't wait to go hear back from them.
Also this week, I got reprimanded by the CEO. I was talking to the new Aide who will be taking my old place, and I was telling her what it was like on the floor. I started to tell her how if she had Nursing Home experience then she would have no problem working; because the two are much alike. CEO steps in and says that there is nothing similar, because our patients are all sweet and nice, and none of them have cognitive problems, and they all mostly care for themselves. She said that none of them would ever bite or hurt a soul. I don't know what that bitch was smoking, but I want some. I can't count the number of times I have had shit flung at my face, had to go to the ER because I was bit or scratched, and the list goes on and on. I can't tell the new help what the job is really like, and help her get to know what to expect, but I can get an e-mail saying that the hospital is gonna sue my ass over something that is retarded and they can't prove is about them. I suppose the real moral of this story is that Shitty Hospital is going downhill really fast, and I don't like it.
