I Just Lost My Job I’ve worked for the same small, busy medical office for the past five years. In general I loved my job. I performed all administrative work and my office manager was located in another county. Basically I was on my own. I knew my job, my time restrictions, and met all my deadlines. At the end of December 2008 my Dr. sold his practice to a young Dr. and his wife, who is also a Dr. My Dr. had this practice for 25 plus years. I was excited about the new direction the practice would go, per discussions in our office meetings during the change over. I was hired to do administrative work, not clinical, of which I had no disire to do what so ever. After working with the new Dr. for four months, I noticed when I would have to ask him something his reply’s became arrogant and with a tone of “I can’t believe you just ask me that”. I’m very confident, outgoing and very much a people person that doesn’t carry her feelings on her shoulders, but this man gave me a complex I did not like. I was the only one in the office that was not clinical trained and he made it a point to remind me every chance he got. I still performed my duties, was pleasant, never displayed drama and I only had one confrontation with another employee which was quickly resolved and it never bothered either of us again. On Wednesday, May 28th my office manager came to my location and at the end of the day called me into her office. Per the Dr’s. request she had to fire me. I was shocked, not saying I was perfect in my performances, but I always got great yearly reviews and I was generally good at what I did. This was the two reasons given to me: I was not being a team player and I had left a patient on hold and didn’t back to them before they hung up (grant you I had three incoming lines and I was the only one answering phones). When those reasons were given, I didn’t even care I lost my job. I stood up, walked out of her office, gathered my stuff and left without looking back. That’s been a week and I still don’t know the real reason I was fired. I’m just thankful we have NO debt except for normal monthly expenses and I will get to draw unemployment. It’s not the fact “I can’t believe they fired ME”, it’s I can’t believe the reason.
