I worked at this surgery center for a year, and then the manager wanted to hire a new nurse (who happened to be african american like him), so he started treating me like Cr*p trying to force me to quit.
Cutting back my hours, and playing all sorts of games like not giving me lunch.
So I B"H found two other jobs and started working at them, then one of them offered me a full time job. I still checked in with my old job to let them know I am available if they need me. It was not until I informed the manager that I was offered full time and needed to go through orientation and computer training for a specific week. Dafka that week he called me to work and I reminded him that I am orienting and not available til next week. After that he stopped calling me, and I got busy at my new job (that paid more) and did not chase up work at the old job. I figured if he did not call he did not need me.
My worry is that the main boss (owner of the surgery center), does not know the games he played. so I am writing him a letter, but I have to be careful what I write because I do not want him to show it to the manager who could turn around and cause problems for me in the future. I need the manager to still think positive of me, even though he's a jerk.
So below is the letter I wrote to the boss. What do you think??

First of all I know it took a lot for you to hire a new graduate, and in our interview you even stated that you were worried I would take a year experience and leave. I had no intension of doing this, as I really did enjoy working in your surgery center. It really gave me great opportunities to work with incredible doctors and procedures that really made me the nurse I am today.
A couple of months ago, my hours started to be cut back. I am sure it was due to less patients so I sought out other opportunities of employment and also I am sure the language barriers as Spanish is not my first language was becoming an issue. I spoke with Zac regarding this and he told me he understood and was fine with me pursuing other avenues for experience. Look at my paychecks and you will see that maybe one time I received 40 hours of work at your surgery center. Once I attained alternative employment I let Zach know what days they needed me to ensure that it would not affect my employment at your surgery center and he assured me it would not. But slowly it kept on affecting my work at your surgery center, because the schedules would conflict. My new job decided they really liked working with me and offered me full time employment at $40 an hour. I mentioned to Zac that I would give him two weeks notice, but that if he still needed me I would make myself available so as not to inconvenience your wonderful surgery center. There was one week that I had to orient and go through computer training for my new employment. I told those dates to Zac, and on the day of one of my orientations he asked me to come into work. I reminded him of the orientation and after that Zac stopped calling me to come into work. I appreciate that it’s difficult as Spanish is not my native language, and because of this made it hard for me to to communicate with the patients. But I still loved my job and the opportunity to do it. Zac is an amazing person who really knows how to train someone to love the operating room and work well with others as a nurse/co-worker.
If you still want to do an exit interview I understand, but know I did not just leave this job. Simply was not called with a schedule so that I could plan my week around my other job. I appreciate your surgery center more then you know, and the opportunities it afforded myself as a registered Nurse. Given the opportunity I would gladly refer others to work there for the experience and the camaraderie of the people that work there. Also, please know that if you were ever stuck without a nurse I would not even blink an eye at coming back to work. Just note that I would not give up a full 8-10 hour shift at my regular job for a five-hour shift and the fact that at my current employment I make $40 an hour. I would not come back at $25 an hour, as a per diem nurse at your surgery center.
thank you again, Sincerely
