Investigations

I am gonna kinda pick up where I left off (so if you are just tuning in - read the post before this one and you will be up to speed).

After a month of 3 investigations going on - here is what I know:

The Company had a picture of me that they said was taken on Monday the 14th, between 4:00pm and 9:00pm. In this picture my eyes were closed. (Maybe I blinked, maybe I was clocked out and waiting for my ride - which sometimes takes half an hour, or maybe the possibilities are numorous). But I know for a fact that is not what I was wearing on Monday. I have not worn this particular outfit since the beginning of April. The picture itself has no date or time stamp on it. Also, in my defense there were 2 other employees present at my job site during this time. One I was training. The other one I work with everyday. My shift is from 2:00pm till 6:30am. So, they were not even accusing me of falling asleep on the graveyard which I work by myself. -Now, if I were going to sleep at work don't you think it would be on the graveyard?

Anyway, as the investigations progressed, the company changed thier minds and said the picture was taken on Tuesday the 15th. Again, that is not what I was wearing this day either (I remember because it was raining both of these days and overcast). Also on this day there were 2 other staff besides myself present for the shift. During this time frame I am constantly up and moving. I have to bathe, cook, feed, change, give liquids (on a set routine), assist with medications, start tube feedings, brush teeth, put to bed, do chores, etc.....this is the busiest time of both shifts. I stay BUSY.

Anyway, appearently the investigators wanted the notes from the internal investigation done by the company. Guess what. They didn't do one. They didn't find out who took the picture, when they took it, why they had thier cell phone or camera out at work, etc. They did not talk to the other employees that were there with me. They did not look at my shift documentation to see what was going on during the shift. Nothing. They just terminated me.

So, here it is a month later. The unemployment department closed thier investigation with a letter to the company stating (and I quote):
"Jessica D. Dunn was dishcarged from your employ for sleeping, no evidence submitted. Misconduct in connection with the work has not been established"...
Basically, this letter says - HA! I know that is kinda childish but it felt really good to read it.

Now, I am just waiting for the other 2 investigations to close. I talked to one of the investigators a few days ago and basically she said that she is waiting on them to produce some paperwork/information that they don't have. Why don't they have it? Because I didn't do anything wrong. But she pretty much just told me to be patient and not to worry she was not referring me to the abuse/neglect registry.

So, the good news is that I have not been found guilty of having misconduct or abuse or neglect. Bad news - I still don't have a job. Sorta good news - the company has to pay me unemployment which is only half of what I was making. It is helping until I can find something else and believe me.....I HAVE BEEN HUNTING!
