I am so burnt out on this job - me

Posted: Dec 31, 2010

I can't even make myself work. I just need a 2-week break, and then I think I'll be refreshed.

Me too. That's why I'm here this morning instead of working! - n/m - MT Wordz

I'm not doing MT work but I can sure relate to being burned out - Need Permanent Vacation

I want to say that I am thankful for the job I have. Much of the time I even enjoy it, although I always enjoyed medical transcription when I was doing it too. That said, I would so love not working at all, just playing all day. I would love it!

Can't seem to stay focused, even when there is work. I'm just exhausted - it's not physical, I've been checked out and I'm already on antidepressants (LOL). Does anyone have any fresh and new ideas? I try taking breaks, but then I truly have to drag myself back in here....... I'm afraid to change companies as I really like it where I'm at and other than sometimes running out of work have no complaints there! I've be ...

I can't even force myself to work now for two days. I'm so sick of this work but of course have bills so will have to work 14 hours the rest of the week. How do you keep from getting to where you just can't force yourself to work? I've only been an MT for four years. ...

And come back later? I hate having to punch out for break though because it makes my day longer. My CCM doesn't mind if we take an hour break, but thats just an hour longer that I have to work. My region has had tons of OT lately and mandatory one hour extra for each day your scheduled, for me thats 9hr shifts 5 days a week. Definitly could use the money and nice to know we got so much work. But I think I set myself up for failure when I sign up to do another 3hrs on my days off, m ...

I've only been in the field for 5 years and have had my share of jobs. The best was, of course, the in-house job which eventually got outsourced(as many often do). I'm with a service I'm happy at albeit the pay is what it is (dreadfully low). I'm only part-time, but I find that 4 hours a shift is just enough for me to handle mentally. Maybe I bring it on myself, rationalizing what I paid for schooling versus what I actually get paid. I just find ...

Any ideas? I love the people I work with and the company - but somedays I have all I can do to drag myself in here and stay focused. Been doing transcription for 35+ years and I know I'm burnt out. Where do we old burnt out people go? ...

New QA's and they are "redoing" everything, including report formats. We've had to correct them on a few items and yet they storm ahead and are making work miserable. Doctors I've typed for now over 10 years and the new QA person acts as though I'm new and never heard his dictation and "here's how it should be from now on." WTH? Seriously? She changes words and puts in the wrong words, not even what was ever said, and then my pay hurts because of ...

in scathing email about working from home so no reason to call in sick. She fails to mention though that she gets a paycheck whether she's sitting at her computer or not. I wonder how she'd feel laying in bed with that foot pedal for 8 hours with 103 fever and typing one bad dictator after the other. Funny how they make it sound so easy and WE help pay for their salary. Thanx ROM, you're the very best there is! ...
