About 5 weeks ago I went to my boss to discuss my options about switching off the midnight shift. One of the things I mentioned to her was that I was looking at a 9-5 shift or something similar to my shift when I was in transport being 10:30-7. She told me there was only one shift like that and that there wouldn't be any more so I shouldn't waist my time hoping for one. To this I was like 'fine' and took the next best thing being a 9a-2p part time shift. I took that spot also because I had to get off midnights because it's really effecting my well being.
All of the bureaucracy goes through and I get my new shift, but they want me to stay on midnights for an extra month since they were really short on staff for August. I honestly didn't think I would have been able to work another month on midnights but I sucked it up and just did it.
Over the proceeding weeks on a daily basis people would ask our hero when the midnight shift ends and when the day shift begins, and I'd tell them. I would also relay how I would have to scrape together any additional registration shifts as well as become a contingent EC Patient Transporter just to make up the difference in hours. One of the big downfalls was that I had to speak to this one nurse about doing transport, but we were both busy at opposite times, and then he went on vacation for a week and a half.
Well yesterday that boss that I had my original conversation with about switching shifts sent out an e-mail to a bunch of people in the department informing them that there was a new position being created working from 10am-6:30pm. Basically the exact shift that I asked for and was told was never going to exist, and she didn't even send me the e-mail. I had several coworkers who knew I wanted a shift like that forward it to me with tags like 'Isnt this the shift you wanted?' and things like that.
Flustered is a bit of an understatement. I know other people want that shift and in regards to seniority I don't have any. In regards to work output for comparison reasons I can't compete because the workload on midnights is way less than the rest of the day.
I e-mailed my boss with it and a note remarking that I asked for that shift a month prior and was told that a shift like that would never exist so I had to settle for a part time shift with uncertain hours and more payroll deductions because of it.
Tonight I'm going to talk to her about it when I go in for my shift and see what exactly is going on because this shift should have been mine. I suggested it, I provided flawless rationale that it should exist, and I made it abundantly clear that I wanted to work it.
This week and next week combined I'm working a total of 11 nights with additional hours here and there. I'll be working roughly 100 hours which includes Labor day. My paycheck will be as if I worked 3 weeks in a 2 week span. Paycheck x 1.5 = Radasaurus Rex
