Hi.
I'm a nurse and recently had my yearly performance review- Got good feedback, thanked for my committment etc made plans for next year.
A comment I made was that I found the inconsistency of the leadership teams communication frustrating .
eg.emails sent stating a change in procedure only to be followed up a couple of days later that they wouldn't be changing it after all...
emails stating we HAVE to do something a certain way , but sometimes we might not be able to...
My line manager acknowledged this and said they are taking steps to be more consistant.
So, I thought all good, positive outcome.
I've now been asked to attend a meeting , the hour before my 12 hour night shift starts, with my line manager and our senior nurse "to discuss my comments"
I feel very anxious about this
I feel intimidated
If I have to attend, I'd rather do it on my day off rather than right before a shift

Any advice please....Should ask more about why I need to attend?
Do i take someone with me?

I have no respect for them to begin with and don't trust them either. I have evidence to support why.

Thankyou

Ask your union if TOIL really is the only recompense available to them. I would want cold, hard cash unless I really did want to have an hour of TOIL up my sleeve.

UPDATE

Decided to hand in my notice on Monday. I don't want to be dreading going to work or reading my emails. I don't need the job, nor the money. I have another small income. I have an interview this week in a very part time retail role, but there's no rush to get a job either.
I love my job, I love my team but I'm done.
Thanks for all the support.

PS. Do i decline the invite to the meeting or resign first ? 😂

Good for you op.

I would resign and decline the meeting one after the other.

How much notice do you have to give? Have you got much annual leave that you can use during your notice period? Or just go sick with stress so that you don’t have to go back.

Make sure you get some sort of exit questionnaire or interview where you can explain what’s lead to this.

Thanks
It's 2 months notice, I work 2 shifts a week, so only 8 to do, think I'll have 2 ALs and 1 TOIL so could only be 5
I won't go off sick , I wouldn't give them the satisfaction, unless they make life awful for me.
Onwards and upwards !

I would say I can’t attend until my shift starts. Take your union rep with you.
