Monday , employee of the month , friday suspended from work. Can I get my job back?

Question

I quit my job of 7 years after being suspended on what a co-worker said about my work performance. The co-worker, a RN license is to delegate basic tasks to CNA's which I am. However, we were short this day, the RN was told to do her own work by our charge RN since we were short CNA's.The RN delegated to me so that she could eat breakfast and sit. Swamped, I tried but was unable to meet the demands of two missing co-workers & pt volume. Two other RN's I worked with knew of this co-workers laziness and the stress she was putting upon me, but said nothing in my defense after they agreed the situation was unfair. I tried to go above my managers head and talk w/ adm, but was beat to the punch by my manager.I always went above and beyond when it came to working there, and I loved my job! The RN has been fired b/c of her bad work performance, and the manger demoted to a lower postion out of that dept. I want my job back but quit the orgnztion, do I stand a chance of gettiing job back?

Answer 1

Yes indeed. If you add a little assertiveness, persistence, and negoc. skills you can talk your way into anything or out of anything. Let HR know what the job means to you and how you were placed in a predicament where you found it difficult to manage alone. Don't be afraid of speaking to a higher authority if your supervisor is unwilling to hear you out. If you are a good worker, the HR department will have no problem seeing you back, nor will managers. If there are issues, you need to address them and give them a time period to work them out so they can see that you are serious about your job and the organization.

Answer 2

By any chance if you are speaking of, let's just say ARC, forget about it! You won't be let back in because YOU deserted them. If this is another company, I am sorry to say, why would you want to go back? I understand the people you thought were causing an issue are gone or demoted, but the culture sounds very class-protected. You, as a CNA, are not in that particular class. Sounds like a nasty environment to me...even though you say you liked your job. Somewhere along the line, you DIS-liked it enough to walk. Will it really be any different this time? Can it be? Sorry if this is not what you want to hear- I am simply speaking from experience. Many orgs won't rehire someone who quit or otherwise left on bad terms. (Myself included.) If you gave notice, that's usually a whole 'nother ballgame. Think hard though, OK? Good luck.

Answer 3

If you can find some people, in senior positions, who can verify your good work performance, I am sure that it is possible. If people will stick up for you then there will be no problem.

In reality if the job is vacant you have the right to reapply, if it is not vacant then you have not chance.

Maybe it is time to try something new. Often we leave a job because of many reasons, not just one, so maybe a change was on the books all along.

Answer 4

Irregardless of the reason you left, the main thing is you did quit. As an employer, when an employee quits and there was any question of his/her performance, I do not hire them back. Also, I make sure there is thorough documentation on any incident and that the termination was entirely their own choice that way when they try to get unemployment, it won't happen.

Answer 5

I think the question is a mute point. If that is what you love to do then go get your job back. Dont leave them an opening to say no. You know what they want so give it to them. Whats the worst they can say? No? And you are back to where you are now, you will always be needed somewhere, Go get yoru jjob back and give it no more thought. That is an unfortunate truth in both of our professions, mine is Criminal Justice. We will always be needed.

Answer 6

Write a professional letter to your admins and explain the situation and that you would still like to work for them
