I know this may sound a bit far fetched, but is there any chance you are being "tested", perhaps to see how well you can deal with various situations on your own, or under pressure???? Perhaps being tested for the next HC position??? Just a thought.

Yup, it bites when things go all sideways and aggravating, especially after a decent period of smooth and hopeful. I don't think anyone is out to get you on a personal level, most people are waaaaay too self-involved to expend the energy dinking around with someone else just for the pleasure of it. Sounds more like there's been a change in the dynamics of who's in charge of the scheduling and assignments. Obviously the one who's handing out the hours and placements right now has ZERO talent for using the staff wisely. Less 'mean' than just blind and deaf to the fact there's real human beings attatched to the names on the schedule. Hopefully the tide will swing around again to someone who gets it right soon. In the meantime it's hard not to feel hurt and ignored, but you've invested a lot in this job and your time and effort so far is worth being patient for a while with the clueless bonehead scheduler and that do-nothing HC. ~LA

LA sounds very logical about this and I'd tend to agree with her. Things always shake out eventually, so hang on, things are bound to improve. XOFifi

I agree with the other comments and I had another thought. It may be that you are so reliable and competent that the powers that be just take advantage of your willingness to do things right and forget that at times you need some support whether it is to pick up the cash strip or answer a question. I don't think it is wrong for you to speak up when you need to. If you think you need to talk to Norma to advise her, then do it. And...as you know so well, there are "favorites" to get away with things that most of you won't....

I've sometimes been tempted to let things fail. Not when it REALLY matters, nor when it leaves a decent co-worker neck-deep in problems... but when it would be hard to get blamed, if I felt undervalued I'd let something go when I could have saved the day. To be depended upon is one thing... to be taken for granted is another entirely. But I'm obviously a trouble-maker, and that's a very adversarial 'solution'. It's probably best that I don't work in a team anymore... :)

I would just work where scheduled and not say anything==things will fall back in place by themselves and then you will be back where you want to be.
