I work around my state in schools and heath-care settings. I requested to be moved closer to home so I wouldn't have to be away from my kiddo 1 night a week. I found out yesterday that my request had been 'lost' and not accommodated. I have a meeting tomorrow to discuss the options, which look limited.
I am an excellent employee, with consistent 'exceeds expectations' reviews from every facility I have ever worked at.
But I am also known to be too nice, which is why I am getting the shaft, I think.

I often don't express anger in the work place because I feel like it is not effective in getting what I want, but this time I do want to express some sort of significant anger/ disappointment/ something and also let them know I will be looking at other companies without it sounding like a threat.

I don't want to be dramatic or burn bridges or anything, but I don't want to just roll over and take it, either.

any experience or advice is welcome!

On a side note, I am so frustrated with being punished for good behavior. I routinely get placed at hard to work facilities because I am easy to get a long with and I deal with crap like this 'lost' request. Something about being older, having a kid, has decimated my tolerance level for this b.s.
