Well I got fired on Friday. I was there for 5 months. I am a registered ultrasound tech with an AAS and 2 registries.
My 60 day review was great, then my echo studies were lacking. Which I agreed with. I had a lot of stress going on. I was put on a PIP , it seemed only two docs had concerns but of course that means all of them. I ended up with my first a 3 day stay in the hospital. I got back the next week and really started focusing and I felt that I had a much better week. The next Monday, I got hit with a written warning. That was a killer. I've never been in danger of termination. The week after, my reviews were better and still the same docs but there was only minor issues. The worst part of it was they were being really nice and offering help. If I asked for help they did but never on their own. They also use definity a lot, which I am not used to. I got really sick on Thursday and had to call in. I had a fever for three days. Friday I got the axe. I can't say I was surprised, I never felt like I fit in. At my last office, I was well liked and they thought I had great skills. So it was really hurtful and a confidence killer. They kept picking. i would look through others studies and I didn't see a huge difference. I have my AAS, RVT, and RDCS. I worked hard to be good at what I do. I really feel like they wanted me gone after I was in the hospital. I opened up to my boss about my mental illness, which she would have known anyway. She even told me about her sister who has bipolar. My work excuse was written on letterhead from a well known behavioral health facility. They acted like they were understanding and would help me and give me time to improve. I was back for not even a week and I get a written warning. Then I knew they didn't want me there. I should have fought it but i knew it was a losing battle. I couldn't handle the stress. They were just going through the motions. I heard they were interviewing for an additional tech but I really think it was for my replacement. On the first warning, I agreed with because I wasn't focusing and not myself. I looked on the career website on Saturday, and the listing was removed. The recruiter they work with also had called the day I was fired. I guess I can file complaints and for unemployment. They also told me I was being let go because of absences. I had doctor notes for all of them .
