What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
I work as a physical therapist in a skilled nursing facility and have been there for 9 months, my supervisor was previously my co-worker and was promoted about 6 months ago. Since her promotion I have consistantly been the most productive therapist in the dept which equals made the most money for the company. ever since she became management she began making rude comments to me and criticizing every aspect of my work only later to come back and apologize saying that I had misunderstood her intention behind statements. She also took off most of the summer leaving me most of the burden of taking care of my job duties as well as her own, and upon returning had nothing but negative remarks about how they had been completed. Despite numerous conversations initiated by myself to resolve these matters no change occured and she maintained that I was creating the problem. She accused me of giving another emtployee time off and when the vacation request was found she had signed it herself but offered no apology to me for the accusation.
Two weeks ago while she was not at work I was written up for a situation involving another staff member that they failed to investigate, which point of fact I was actually written up for the other employees actions. I am currently in the process of appealing this. During my formal disciplinary meeting my supervisor refused to let me state my own case, or defend myself and instead told me I was only to admit to what I had done wrong and tell them how I would change my actions. Two days following she gave me my annual performance review. I requested an advocate to be present which she tried to deny me but after speaking with HR had to allow. My review was unfair at best rating me uneffective in almost all categories.
What are my options? What can I do to fight this, I have surgery scheduled in a couple of months and need to stick it out here for the STD benefit, but it seems like the administration is trying to push me out before they have to pay? Do I have any recourse?
