of the fact that I had Dr notes, etc. They still had her give me the write up.

Now, I don't fault my Mgr, this came from above her. But the organization? I seriously want to put it on blast, although logically I know I shouldn't.

My written comment on the write up when I signed it was as follows: I am concerned about the fact that I had a number of Dr's notes that kept me out of work, due to disease/infectious disease, and that these are counted against me in so far as this organizations attendance policy. This seems both conflicting abf dishonest, and I object to a policy

that does not take this paperwork and the Dr's (and Employee Health personnel's) official analysis into consideration. However, as it is the current organization's policy, I do acknowledge that I received this information.

...

I would think, if you're in doubt, take it to the Labor Board for some help?

I wanted to write about the continuing erosion of trust and loyalty within this organization and the fact that these policies are just an example of why this is happening.

I should do that,

Looking up NH labor board complaint firms now

complaint form that is.

it seems counter-intuitive to write up someone for getting sick and not going to work at a hospital. Like. Do they want you spreading Covid around?

That's a good way of putting it. I would also ask that if employee health documents that you are not allowed to come in to work, what would get me in bigger trouble? Disobeying them, or getting another attendance policy write up?

I think those are questions to bring up to HR.

I would honestly bet someone at HR is new to the hospital. Might be worth going to Employee Health and telling them about the write up and how you weren't allowed to work. Maybe they can do something to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I have nothing to add to the advice that's already been given, just Rage 😑😡

Do you live in a Right to Work (such a bullshit term) state? If so, be careful of making too much of a stink. However, absolutely talk to people and question this policy.

Unfortunately, some organizations institute such a strong bureaucracy that they then abide by the exact rules regardless of context and thought. It's just a machine, and that is problematic.

Reminds me of when my dad, who was a truck driver...one time snow stopped everything dead in NC (because it's NC) and the corporate office in Texas wrote everyone up for not showing up to drive the trucks when the weather and how NC deals with it made it literally impossible. Wasn't his fault at all, he was told to stay home, and then written up for it.

My mom once told me that if a place wants to fire you, they can and will find a reason to do so, and sometimes I think pointless writeups like this are part of that. If they later want to fire you, they can just point to this on your record.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't make a huge stink of it if it happened where I live, just probably frame it as me wanting to know, especially with Covid and the flu going around, how they want me to avoid that situation in the future.

That is so upsetting. You deserve better: no wonder you're angry. I don't have good advice just wanted to add that internet hugs

Couple quick answers now that I am awake - yes NH is an 'at will' state.

It wasn't like this before SNHMC partnered with Elliot Hospital. We were suddenly changed from SNH associates to Solution Health associates a year ago (red tape bs) and then put into the same section as IT. THINGS WERE SO MUCH BETTWR WHEN WE WERE WITH SOUTHERN.

gotta go. will write more later.

And I think it's a case of big organization makes the rules because we are all just numbers and cogs in the machine now.
