Shift-Swap Saga: A Tale of Miscommunication and Misunderstanding

So, here's the juicy recap: Our protagonist, a dedicated hospital worker, steps in to cover shifts for her pregnant colleague, Dani. What was supposed to be a temporary arrangement stretches on, leaving our heroine in a state of uncertainty. She reaches out to HR, seeking stability, only to be offered a contract to replace Dani permanently. Convinced it's Dani's fault, she accepts the offer, leaving HR to break the news to Dani. But when Dani finally contacts her, ready to return, it's clear HR has dropped the ball. The confrontation that follows leaves our protagonist questioning her actions. Was she right to accept the offer? Should she have told Dani herself? Let's see what the internet thinks of this situation... 🤔

NTA. HR dropped the ball and Dani's boss is the a**hole.

NTA for not covering her shift; offer her a contract 💼

JWJulie | JWJulie

NTA. HR changed your contract and thus, hers. It's appropriate for them (or Dani's supervisor) to have the conversation, not you. Additionally, did you document the conversation with them and when you asked them to tell her? I would get the exact date and summarize this for them, letting them know their inaction put you in an uncomfortable position and how your former colleague reacted. Dani sounds like a huge liability tbh but they put you in a position for retaliation. Protect yourself! 🛡️

NTA. You covered for Dani (the real AH) for months past what you agreed to, and she took advantage. She clearly didn't care that much about the job before her baby, so it was only a matter of time before her poor work ethic caught up to her. HR is the lesser AH here for not talking with her, and putting you in that possibly dangerous situation. 😡
