Yes, I was on employee at one of you OB-GYN offices. I was promised a certain amount of pto time in my offering letter. After my 90 days, I kept asking why my pto time was not correct? I was assured it was being taken care of. I was taking off to travel 5 hrs away to help my daughter when both my grandbabies had surgery. I needed ti know how much one I had that I could take. Finally, after several Athena messaging back and forth I was told to go into the office managers office. It was at that time I was told that they could not do what they had offered me. I was upset, I was asked what I thought was fare that they could make it up to me. I asked her to bring it up in the drs meeting and we could talk about it next week when I came back. Before we had this discussion when I went in her office she proceeded to tell me that I was getting to much OT., I clocked in too early. Which was not the case I was a float and first shift had to be there at 7:30. So I would clock in at 7:20 or 7:25. I have never been told and talked to about being to early. Late yes, but not early. When I came back, I went in the office managers office and asked she said, “she said she didn’t ask that she thought I was just going to think about it!” Which was not the case. She was to ask the drs and I was to think about it. She printed off what the amount of pto that I would be getting instead of what my offering letter was. I again told her I had ti think about it. I thought about if for awhile and got back to her. I told her I could not accept that. I had already taken a cut in my pay to come there that I could not take a cut in my pto time as well. She was not happy. She said, “well the drs would have to approve it!” I told her l, “that was fine.” Several weeks went by and she came to me and said she put pto time in my bank. It still was not the correct amount that was in my offering letter, when I accepted the job. I did not say anything g about the remainder of the time I wasn’t given. It just was not worth the hassle. So, from there on out I was knit picked for any and every little thing I done and things I didn’t do. A warning was written up and my provider was taken away and I was out back to float. I asked if my provider knew and I was told they were calling her after they spoke with me. I have never been anywhere where the provider was the last to know. My provider was on vacation and we had a close and good relationship and we talked and texted on a regular bases. My provider and I had been texting back and forth all weekend and when she had texted me back that Monday I asked her if she had talked to the office manager or clinical manager She said, “she had not, and what was wrong.” I asked her if it was okay to call her. She said yes and we just talked about her kids and about me not being her MA. They had not called her like I was told. The next morning I came in late because I had a drs appointment. When I got there I was literally attacked in the hallway in front of employees and patients and talked to like I was a piece of trash. I was crying and upset and I told her that she did not ask me not to talk to my provider. Still again she kept degrading me in the hallway. I told her again that had I been asked not to say anything to my provider I would not have said anything to her and being the bigger person I said, “if she did say that, that I did not here her say that? And I was really upset that my provider was taken away and I maybe I didn’t hear her say that but I was sorry!” She just kept in and kept on and I kept crying saying I was sorry. I asked her what else did she wanted me to do. She said we’re down and went to her office. Later, on the day I went to the clinical manager and asked who would be working with the provider that one of the MA’s was moved to the new provider that I would work with any of the providers. That is a whole new conversation. Also, at that time the office manager had written me up again. I read it and it had been typed up and when it was typed up it was not typed up correctly. The things she had said in the write up were not true or accurate. The clinical manager told me I could write in my own words what had happened. I said, “okay, and asked if I had to sign it right now or if I could sign. It when I turned in what my version. She said, “sure, that will be fine.” So about 5 minutes had gone by and I was getting ready to call a patient back. The next think I know someone had slammed down a paper write beside me and said, “I could not write my version of what happened that either I signed it now or I had to voluntarily resign!” I was crying and upset and after trying to get someone to work up my patient and to try to keep the flow of patients consistent. She finally closed my door because everyone could here how she was talking to me. After this someone was constantly walking past my little triage room just trying to find something that I was doing wrong! I had forgotten to take one of my ear pods out of my ear I only had one in and it was off I just had forgotten to take it out of my ear. The next thing I know I was getting an Athena message from the clinical manager telling me I couldn’t have that in my ear. I apologized and said I would take it out and that I didn’t realize we could not have them in our ears because I had seen everyone with them in there ears and I told her thank you for telling me. 5-10 minutes later an Athena message went out to all employees from the clinical manager saying no ear pods. On August 25, 2022 I was 1st float my hrs were 7:30 to 4:00. So at 4:10 our 4 o’clock patient had not shown up yet. I check the hospital records to make sure she had not delivered and to check if she was in labor because the patient was 38 weeks and 2 days. She was not in labor nor had she delivered. So, I went to find the closing float whom gets there at 8 and then closes that I was getting ready to leave and the patient had not arrived yet and that she was not in labor or she had not delivered So, if the patient showed up she would need to work her up. It had been 40 minutes since we had a patient. The 3rd float was in the back socializing but, caught an attitude about it. When I got back up front and got my thing gs together ready to leave the patient was checking in. So I just put my things back under the cabinet to get the patient once she had checked in. 3rd float came up front and snatched the paper and said, “I got it.” So I got my stuff back out and I clocked out. I also had already went around and checked for specs as well. While driving home I got a phone call from the office manager iyelling at me saying, that I darted out and left my coworkers. I explained to her that I did not that there was only the one patient left and I had checked rex to make sure my was not in hospital and I was first float my hrs were 7:30 to 4 and I didn’t leave until close to 4:15. She proceeded to keep yelling at me and saying nasty things to me (the way she was talking to me was verbal abuse, that’s how bad it was.). I am 51 and I have been in the medical field 25+ years. I have never been spoken to the way she was talking to me ever. She said , I pretty much was useless and not a good employee, etc. she told me not to come in the next day and not to come back. I just kept telling her I didn’t do anything wrong Then she says you can not pick and choose when you come in that I had a long lunch and was at the dr which was approved by my clinical manager and I had. an hr to hr and 15 minute lunch that I used to go to my dr. I had been in the er 2 times in august and was diagnosed with a tumor on my kidney and a heart condition. So, my clinical manager knew what my appointment was for and it had been approved. So that was irrelevant to why she was firing me. The day before the clinical manager had Athena messaged me asking me if I was coming in before my drs appointment and asked if I was coming back after my appointment. I Athena messaged her back telling her yes I was coming to work before my appointment that I had scheduled my appointment on my lunch break and it may be a little longer than an hr and I was coming straight back after my appointment was over. The way I was talked to and called on the phone was not professional at all. There was no reason for her reprehending me the way she did. The professional way to have handled the situation was to simply ask me the next morning what happened not to call me on my cell phone with the way traffic is and be getting to me and talking to me the way she did. She has anger issues and is not professional at all. The end of February or beginning of March the office manager came to me and asked if I knew anyone that would be interested in a position there that I and the other float was both highly recommended and we were exceptional workers. Now, how do you go from being an exceptional employee to a horrible one in that amount of time? I had no problems there until I didn’t back down about what was I was given in my offering letter. OB is my heart so now that I got let go for not doing something I was accuse of but, now I can not work for any OB under UWH. I feel this is totally unfair and I think this office manager needs to answer to someone higher up for her actions. Everyone in that office will help her lie to other employees about things that did or did not happen because they are afraid to stand up for themselves. This is not a good environment for employees or patients. So, not only did I loose my job that I loved, I lost my income, my health insurance, my confidence. I have watched other employees in that office do their taxes, what tv on their phone for the whole day if their provider is not there etc. I really would like to personally speak to someone about this. I just figured this would be my 1st step. Here is my contact info: Candy Clark candycmonat@yahoo.com (919)349-4070 Address: 305 Fuchsia Place Garner, NC 27529
