Question

I am a 66 yr old RN - employed cosultant for an owner of multiple LTC buildings in the US. I am the oldest consultant in my region & the newest "hire" (15 months). Peers are younger, with longer tenure and "clicky". My annual eval @ the end of June was not good & a total shock to me. I recently learned I would be needing OP surg & had appt. for 10/9/09. On 9/9/09, I was presented with a written performance plan & a 1 month window to meet the standard. Included in the "plan" were dress code "standards" to include wearing a bra (I wear one of those one-piece lycra things and I'm not large busted). I am also to wear tops with sleeves, although I wear a lab coat when working. I am not a sexy old lady. I was reported for taking off my lab coat (hot flash) in one of the work rooms. There have been a host of untrue allegations about clothing & alleged conversations reported to my supervisor. I feel hostility of work environment & fear loss of livelihood....regardless of whatever I do.
