Long story so here goes....
basically I was told to apply for promotion before the end of my probationary period. I queried about this with the lead nurse who had a chat with me and supported my application.
I advised my line manager of the application.
the long shot was the I was unsuccessful and told to reapply after christmas. My line manager knew within an hour of me finding out but didnt speak to me to "debrief" me. I tried to speak to her later in the shift but she was busy in another department. She eventually came to speak to me but I said I was too upset to talk now.
anyway, because I was upset about the way I was treated by my Line Manager and that fact that now, nearly 2weeks after the interview she still hasnt acknowledged it.
I spoke to the lead nurse who was very non-committal and said that my line manager was an excellent manager and she did want to resolve any problems. She arranged a meeting for this weekend and told me to prepare and make sure things were sorted so we had a working relationship again.
The arranged time came and my line manager walked past me and out the door home. No meeting happened.
apparently she was waiting for me to approach her.
I phoned the lead nurse to ask what had happened and she said she would phone me monday (today).
9pm tonight no phone call so I called the lead nurse again (she was working btw) and she said "we all lead busy lives and she had too much to do to phone me". there is meeting arranged for friday night and it WILL go ahead.
I feel totally intimidated by my manager. I feel snubbed that she has not mentioned my interveiew let alone me not getting the promotion. My lead nurse has said that she is hearing different things from other team leaders that vary from my "version" of things.
I am basically being accused of lying and twisting the truth when all I'm saying is that I thought that my line manager should be supporting my career developemnt and that its her place as my line manager to make sure i'm ok.
am trying to resolve all the problems internally by have been told by the lead nurse that if i want to change team leader, i need to work in a new location (more travel, not as good shifts).
Please help. tell me what to do? do I speak to the unions or will I just make a bad situation worse by involving them. Is my best option just to keep my mouth shut and my head down? I know I have totally blown all my chances of promotion now.
TIA
