Accused of abuse and neglect

[Shot_From_Guns]

So an employee could constantly lie about another employee, accusations that suspend that person’s pay, and **never **be disciplined for it? That’s kind of fucked up.

That’s kind of fucked up.

Like being slightly pregnant, but that’s the way it is.

I mean, presumably that person could get put on a very tight leash and written up for every single legitimate infraction going forward so the organization could establish a case for firing them that couldn’t be considered retaliatory, but jeeze.

I had to meet with my director and the head of HR as well as the COO this afternoon. I am reinstated as manager at the group home again starting tomorrow. The charges were found to be unsubstantiated and I will get my back pay. However, they asked me to take an abuse and neglect class which I will be doing, due to “something the accuser thought she may have heard”.

I suppose that I should be happy about this, but I am not. Instead I’m depressed. I’ve been crying all week trying to figure out what I did that was so horrible, but still knowing that I didn’t do anything. The company’s policy of not giving me any support during any of this and not even telling me what I was accused of has left a very bad taste in my mouth.

The staff that made the accusation is one that I had to write up a few weeks ago for a repeated problem and I feel that she made this accusation to get even with me. In addition to that, I discovered that my assistant has taken my name off all of the email while I’ve been out and I feel very betrayed.

I do not know how to go back and try to resume things as normal again tomorrow. I’m not even sure I want to go back. This has put me behind on a lot of bills, it’s put me through horrible stress, I make an incredibly sad amount of money, I cannot afford medical benefits and I am on call 5 days a week and several times had to go back to assist in some problem without getting paid for it.

I hope that things go well at the interview I have next week and I am able to work elsewhere.

Okay, who was she with the retaliation accusation and what does she drive??

In all seriousness, I hope the other job works out. Once the jerk/jerkess realizes how much she can f with your chi by laying down some bullcrap to the powers that be, its not a good place to work anymore. :mad:
