Sept 2008 I returned from hols to find the rota had changed, they'd given me split shifts "because colleagues wanted time with family". I contacted my union rep. It was discrimination. I knew my time was coming to an end there. Only my black colleagues on nights utterly understood the discrimination I felt and I was very touched by their support. My shifts went back to normal. I handed my notice in 2mths later and felt a huge relief. And grief. And betrayal. Patients wrote me thankyou letters.
