I want another job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Long Vent
I have to say that if my secretary or paralegal acted like you say you acted, I would fire him or her the same day.
There are so many things going through my head right now...
Your boss gave you a chance at a job that was a little lower than you wanted with the opportunity to advance. You have obviously NOT met their expectations because you won't add the extra responsibility they wish to give you, you don't follow directions well, you have a bad attitude, and feel entitled. I gleened this from your post. I can't imagine working with you every day.
The other departments don't want to work with you, either. There's a reason for that.
You don't HAVE to have a college education to be a strong worker. The fact that you are throwing your education up in your boss's face is very bad form. I have always been a believer that you shouldn't NEED a college education to get a good job if you are smart and work hard. (some people can't afford college and don't have the same opportunities as others).
Don't fool yourself that you didn't get the OBGYN job because of your lack of experience. If that were the case, they NEVER would have called you. They probably thought you'd be a good candidate but you somehow showed your true colors in the phone interview. Let me guess, you complained about your current job? Held yourself out to be something better than you are? Did you really do your phone interview at your current job? Please tell me you were on lunch break with your cell phone in your car?? Because if you took your phone interview at your desk at work, that is a big faux pas.
In this economy, you should be THRILLED to have a job making 11.35 an hour. Goodness gracious, haven't you HEARD about all the people being laid off?? Don't you know that people are losing their jobs and their houses?
If I were you, I'd apoligize to your boss and try to act like a decent human being at work. Grin and bear it. Don't talk back. Don't cop an attitude.
Good luck.

Let me start by saying this to you. I respect you view and all. You are entitled to your own opinions. But at the same token, you have to respect my view and my outlook. Which I can tell by your post that you are very judgemental and one sided. ( No punt Intented) but if the shoe fits than wear it. From what you said at first, it seems like you are an attorney or a prosecutor. I am trying to remain cordial, but with your comment, its really difficult. Let me guess, your staff might be a bit intimidated by you because of your status, and that may be the reason why they are scared to go against you even if you are wrong about something. You and I have different backgrounds I take it. I have always been taught to speak my mind, say how I truly feel, stand up for myself, don't let no one run me over, remain humble but at the same time dont suck up, last but not least be respectful. That is how I have been taught since the day I was born. Now how you were taught may be similar or the opposite, I dont know. But in order to get respect you have to give respect, I am quite sure you heard that before. I am not a pushover, and I will not let anyone disrespect me. I can tell you didn't read it all, you took bits and pieces and ran with it. Most attorneys and prosecuters only see things one way. I completely understand. If I were me, I don't think I would want to work for you either. We don't see eye to eye. I am very open-minded, there is the conflict there in itself. You are incorrect on alot of things. I never talk about how miserable I am to another potential employer. That is your first mistake. You assume too much. When you assume, you make a a** out of yourself. I am thankful to have a job, because there are people who don't have one. Of which, I feel bad for those who dont. I am going to end this discussion with this. Next time when you reply to a post, Read the whole thing first, before you say anything. You missed alot of details in what I was trying to say.
May god bless you
Good luck and have a nice weekend

I can see you're getting all "Jeckyl and Hyde" on me.
Unfortunately, you completely missed my point.
To respond to YOUR assumption that my staff must be afraid of me. FYI, my secretary FOLLOWED me from one job to another. If I was such a bad boss, why follow me to continue working with me? I have never had a complaint about my management, from back in the day when I managed a department store to now.
If I'm wrong, I will admit it. Just last week, I had to admit that I had been wrong about something, and I was perfectly willing to do so. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I'm not infallible. No one is.
However, I would have never, ever talked back to a boss like you admitted to doing to yours. I'm lucky now to be in a position where I only answer to clients and myself, but I have not always been there. I have worked many, many menial jobs to get where I am. I put myself through college and law school with no help from family. I worked retail, in offices, in call centers, and in law firms. I have put up with some crazy stuff from bosses and customers. And I have never conducted myself in the way you have admitted to conducting yourself.
Am I judgemental? Sure, I'm judging the way you behave by what you have written about your behavior. I don't agree with it - period.
Apparently you disagree with me. That's ok, too. You think it's ok to talk back to your boss, refuse to do work you are being paid to do, and then go "Jeckyl and Hyde" on her. You think it's ok to belittle her because she has less education than you. That is something I would never do, and cannot agree with. So, yes, I am judging you. And I find you lacking.

No, I was not turning dr. jekyll Mr. Hyde on you, I am far from it. Like I told you before you I respect your opinion. Only 1 person can judge anyone, and that is god. I do not think it is okay to talk back to anyone, but at the same time its not okay for people to talk to me any kind of way. I only let my momma talk to me any kind of way, and that is because she gave birth to me. As far as for my boss, since that happened, I have not had anymore problems with her, and I still have a job, plus she admitted she was wrong for how she came to me. If i was not good at what I do, believe me I would not have a job. NO ONE should ever talk to an employee like that. That is how EEOC complaints are filed and won in court. I am not the first one to be done like that. I am not perfect and I will never be noboby is perfect. Myself and others have already filed compaints on the company because of her ( Management). We all agree to disagree.
HW/SW/CW/Orig GW/New GW 328/311/161/153/142 LOVE my RNY!!!! 
I am so sorry for your pain and suffering. I think that as long as you are in this job you need to take extra care of yourself when you are not at work. Try meditation while not at work to maybe find a calm place within yourself. I have worked with some awful bosses and my response has always been dependent on how I am in the part of my life that is not work related.
Take care and my prayers are with you,
Dianne

I have been at my current job for a little over 8mos, and I am so desperatly needing a change. First off I graduated from a medical assistant program last year in October. Where I work at now I work as a check in person at a oncology practice. I took this job because I had financial obligations I had to meet, and the opportunity to move on to work as a medical assistant. Those were the only two reasons why I took it to get at least part of a toe in the door. My boss knew this. I asked for a certain amount when I got hired. She said that because of my work history ( stability) she can only start me off at 11.00/hr, but assured me that I will get what I am asking for in 90 days. Well I started there in 8/2008 and i did not get my 90day review until 2/2009. I have busted my but workig in this place hoping that it would pay off. Well guess what, in my review I got a little .35 raise. My boss told me that she thought I was worth that much. I felt like reaching across her desk and choking the dog mess out of her. I felt like it was a slap in the face. Okay so a few months later we had another problem when she was talkin to me like I was stupid. Her exact words" I cant believe you cant follow simple directions, a first grader can follow directions better than you, I thought better of you. Okay, that was the straw that broke the camels back. I have been insulted but not like that. I let he slide many months with her sly comments, and this day I could not let her shoot down my self esteem and belittle me. My comments were" I have bent over backwards to do everyhting you ask me to do, and this i how you are going to talk to me. I am not like your other employees total pushovers. You are dealing with a real person, and I have feelings and you have trampled on them long enough. I am done with letting you talk to me like I am stupid. I have been asking you so- called managers for help for months, and you have yet done nothing. Better yet since am so dumb, how about I do you one better. You can take this extra responsibility you are trying to pile on me and do it yourself. " she then said, Oh yes you will do it" I told her, I bet my ridiculous .35 raise I won't, amd mark my words you will respect me. I told her, you want me to work for nothing. I have a Ivy League backgroung compared to your lucky 5 years of being a manager of which you never went to college to earn a degree. Do what you want, I see myself a a dead end job working here. You promised me this and promise me that. How many other people have you lied to? Your point of view is becoming more transparent each day, and I see through your bull****. You lied to me about how long I had to be in my position in order to trabsfer to another department. I dont have to wait a year. I can move anywhere as long as a slot is open" That was told to me by her boss, after I talked to her.She does not want no one to do better than her, she is upset with me because I am not a suck up like everyone else. Before all of this happened, I talked to the lab manager and she was willing to give me a part time position, just so I can put my skills to use to start of. My boss and the lab manager are really good riends. After, I put my boss in her place, the lab manager all of a sudden changed her mind about letting me work. This really ticked me off, because my boss did tell me, that if she has anyhting to do with it, she will make sure I dont work in the lab. The lab manager is going to tell me that I cant hire you because it would be unfair to the lab techs,Now mind yo, I am cool with all the lab techs and theytold me that they would love to have me work with them. They know I have limited experience, but let me tell you this I always got the vein perfectly when I went to draw blood. Then the lab manager went on to tell me that the lab techs would not let me draw on them, I had talked to the lab techs when I first considered applying to the lab, and they volunteered. At, this time I knew she was feeding me BS, a whole unch of it at that. And thenwhat she said next, I kinda shut down because I am so angry. She said , You dont have any experience, I told her she knew that from the beginning. I know my boss went and bad mouthed me, I must admit she got me good, she got me really good. But what she dont realize, is that she does not want to face me head on. She think she;s bad. Okay I will show you who is bad. I am so ticked right now ladies. she has never seen my dr. jekyll mr hyde personality. I will have her think she is the one thats crazy. Everyone in that office is fake except for a few. Nobody in management has a college degree. The girl in human resources came from the lab, and don't have a degree either. I got a cake baked for everyone in that place. I always have the last laugh I guarantee you.
Then to make matters worse, I applied for a job yesterday and they called me today. It was for a MA position in a OBGYN ofc. In the past, I have been a CNA for 7yrs worked as a Medical Office Secretary/ Manager in a family practice for 3years. Worked in INsurance claimes for 2yrs. She told me that she was looking for someone with more experience. In my mind I was like, Okay then why did you call me. Before we got off the phone, I added I know I don't have what you want, but everyone has to start somewhere. She said " I will keep your resume on file and keep you in mind for future position. I was like okay and thanks for calling For no reason............
Ladies I am too the point where I just want to give up, I was telling my mom earlier today, that i feel like I wasted my money even going to Kaplan, to find out later after I graduated, that the credits dont transfer.
How is anyone suppose to get experience if no one is willing to give someone a chance. This is ridiculous, I have always looke on the bright side, and always stayed optimistic. I got on alot of peples nrver being that way. My brother once told me" Tameka how can you be happy with life whenou get dealt a raw hand alot. And I always Said God didnt bring us this far to fail.
I am now starting to see how he felt, I dont like who I am becoming, I feel that with all of this negativity bogging me down I am starting to become hateful and bitter.
And then today, the lab manager tried to carry on a conversaion with me after my phone Interview. I wanted to say " I just wish you would stop alking to me you fake person" But instead I just ignoredher.
Sorry for the long vent, thanks for listening
How did you go from being a CNA down to a medical assistant? Don't CNA's do more than an assistant?
NO man or woman is worth your tears... and the one who IS,
won't make you cry!!
Lap RNY 5/21/08 Pre-op - 222 / Current - 137 / Goal -135 
I was a CNA years before I became a Medical Assistant. As far as Kaplan is concerned, I have inquired 6 different schools. From IUPUI, Ivy Tech, IBC, MED- TECH, Brown Mackie, and Purdue. It totally depends on the college whether or not they will accept the credits, no matter whether it is a diploma, technical certificate, or degree. This is what I was told from the registrar's ofc. When I was in orientation my first day at Kaplan, I was told that the credits would transfer so I left it at that.
Your credits probably DO transfer...somewhere. I had a friend that went to 3 different schools, ALL established UNIVERSITIES that have been around for hundreds of years (one state univ., one public univ., and one Ivy-League private). He had to take his English class 3 times. He also had to repeat several classes because the they did not transfer.
It is COMPLETELY up to the school whether they do or do not accept one single credit or not. Some schools don't accept a darn thing, whereas others will transfer all credits.
So, with your own post you acknowledge that your credits could transfer and proved yourself incorrect.
