Made sure my phone was off today so HR wouldn't wake me up to remind me I'd be working dayshift.
They did call. But it was to offer the job. $6.50 paycut on my hourly rate which really sucks but staying where I'm at and bitching about the changes hasn't been working out for me. I stuck it out through covid despite many opportunities to leave for big money. Several former coworkers paid off their homes in a year of covid contracts. I stuck it out for 3 years waiting for the position I built to open up for me but that got bastardized into the exact thing I was trying to prevent. There's inbound directives from the ceo to increase workload and some other things that really just don't work for me. To stay where I am without trying something different would be the wrong move.
I also made it clear to my direct supervisors that the next time I float to a unit I don't work on, I am leaving. I don't care where to, I am leaving. I floated on Christmas, and that's when I put the applications in. I can't make that threat and not follow through.
I don't know how I'll adjust to days, especially going back to working 5-6 days a week like a normal person. I'm hoping I can still use PTO fairly often and do my Gridlife stuff. I don't know how I'll handle the on-call, that drove me away from my last attempt to leave bedside and that was less call hours than this is. But I also got sober last year and being on call isn't as much of a hinderance to my daily habits as it once was. I'm going to give it an honest try.
