Labor Relations and EEOE

I know. Double blog.  But this is my vent space.  So deal.

I finally received some info back from the Director.  He emailed saying either Thursday or Friday is good.  Right.  Too late.

It was 9am.  I headed off to Human Resources.  I met with the Labor Director.  I told him everything.  The statement made, how I applied 3x's.  The verbal warning.  I dropped names, I glorified my Director as a Saint and remarked..."I feel I'm being sabotaged" and that the Supervisor had been avoiding me until the verbal warning arose.

Summary.  I deserved a verbal warning due to Radiology's policy.  However, it was my 1st offence.  The Supervisor has met with the Labor Director MANY times about troubled employees and funny enough, in the past 2 yrs of employment, my name has never been mentioned.  I am the only internal applicant for the night shift position and they've already interviewed an outside applicant who has less experience than I.

The Recruiter I spoke to in HR was called in and involved in my story.  She was directed to send an email to my Supervisor to state that I AM a candiate, should be treated as such, and need to be considered.

The Labor Director stated that he appreciated me coming down, for now, he won't take any action, but will keep notice of this situation and to advise him of anything else that comes up.

The day continues.  Lead Tech is pulled into the Supervisor's office for hours at a time.  The Director is the Supervisor's office for over an hour.  The Vice President of the hospital, the Radiology Director's boss, stops by Cat Scan to say "Hi" and "See how everyone's doing."  Taking particular notice to ask me some technology questions and my opinion.

Did Coulow rattle a few cages today?

Spank me silly, I'm developing into the Velvet Assassin. 

It's a man's world.  A woman can not be aggressive or she will be put down.  It's all a political game, and scorpion like reflexes with a silver tounge devil is needed for a woman in a male dominated office.

I think I'm getting the hang of this.

COULOW. out.

The appropriate response from the Supervisor should have been, "We really need you on day shift, what I can do to persuade you from not switching?"  Easy.  Don't be a dumbass because I don't deal with stupidity.
