Update...

I called the main corporation I worked for to discuss what had happened to me and they have not returned my call? Any suggestions?

Discrimination against white nurses from Filipinos

graduated from nursing school in Dec 09' got my first real job in Dec 2010, just before holiday season! I got excited, things were looking up - I'd have some extra $ for Christmas! When I entered the wellness center I was surrounded by Filipino nurses! Ratio 9:1, me being the only white nurse on the floor. This did not bother me one way or the other, I'm not prejodous, but I soon realized my Filipino boss was schedualing me in a way that allowed all my co-workers to have PTO during the holiday season! I worked my a@! Off, pulling double shifts & working 14 hrs/day! Taking care of 70+ residents per shift! While all my co-workers enjoyed holiday parties & family gatherings! I even worked Christmas eve and the day after! Then pulled a double on new years eve and the first! I figured the $ was good and I'd show my boss what a team player I'd been! This was a good thing! Very shortly I got burned out, couldn't keep my eyes open when home! Driving home at 2-3 am and passing out when got home! I hadn't seen my husband in weeks! After the holidays came to an end, and all my co-workers came home from the philipines, my hours started to dwindle? I figured it was because everyone needed to work! Well, was I wrong! a few od the nurses started becoming very rude to me! excluded me from conversations, speaking in Togolese, and giggling!Shortly after that I ended up in my bosses office! I was told I'd rubbed some of my co-workers the wrong way? What did that mean? It clearly meant personality conflict! The next schedule was posted and surprisingly 8 days off coming up! No schedule for me? A week had passed - my boss called me at 10:30am at home on a Friday, she asked me to come to work at 2pm that afternoon! She wanted to speak to me? I thought finally, she is going to discuss the hard work I've done, etc, etc! No, I was told I was being suspended! I was shocked! 2 meetings later, and 8 days I was fired! After she handed me my check she said, it would look better on my file to say I resigned! I got nervous with the way she was speaking about future employment and agreed! Now I cannot collect unemployment - how do I feed myself? I want to call a lawyer, but have decided this early in my career I'd better find a place to work as a nurse where fillipinoes don't rule the roost? This is going to be difficult! This is very unfair & I feel so violated! I don't feel comfortable about discussing this with my friends or relatives because of the discrimination!
