had a staff meeting for the night staff this afternoon (all 4 of us LOL). Lots of things covered nothing particularly pertaining to me (I think anyhow). When we were asked if we had anything else to say I thought I'd just thank the other 3 night staff for being so fabulous over the last few weeks when I've been feeling like sht and exhausted (for those that don't know - I'm 10 weeks pg). Basically they've been doing more than their fair share of the cleaning and domestic stuff around the house - although I've still been getting all the residents up in the morning that I should be.
Manager (who was also there) said "oh yes, I was going to ask to speak to you about that, a few of the staff, including day ones, have complained that your standards have dropped and you've been rather slack". I told her that I was no (thankfully) starting to feel much better and would pull my weight with my share of the work again. I don't personally believe that my 'standards' have dropped - I just haven't been able to do all the 'extra' bits that need doing.
She said that if I was struggling on nights then I'd have to talk to her, and she would consider putting me on days. I'm NOT going onto days
a) there's no way I could get up in the morning for the 7-3 shifts
b) there's no way my wages would cover the childcare costs - DH works from 1pm (ish) until 9pm - and if I was doing the afternoon shift (3-10) I'd need childcare for that.
Basically I feel like they're taking the pss. I worked 50 extra hours last month - because we're so short staffed and I worked extra the month before - and have already worked nearly 20 extra this month........then I get told my "standards" aren't good enough atm..........
