mt no more looking for support somewhere - hatemejob

Posted: Dec 13, 2009

I have been out of MTing for about 1.5 years now mainly because of lack of cash flow and work issues....haha..i am working for a local hospital in the laundry area..which i completely and utterly HATE... i am having difficulties with my coworkers and being used to working alone..i tend to say what i am thinking out loud rude or not at times and it is getting me in trouble not a lot but enough...all the chit chat about one another and gossiping is driving me insane...i do see that there aren't a lot of jobs posted on the boards here and elsewhere.......

can i just have some free advice about how to work where i am i guess...or try to MT again with such small job prospects.....or just some encouragement because coming from years working in a small room alone and then working at home to working with other people that you have to actually put on a face smile in the morning for...just really bites and i just cannot seem to adjust properly.....

i used to be a people person....now they just think i am a joke of a person...I feel that i am smart, besides the lower case i's i am typing..haha, but they all seem to think i am dumb...i guess i just need to know that someone understands or is listening... or some words of encouragement...

I want out of this job so bad but the director of my area knows it and i have applied for every other position i qualify for and he won't let me leave because i do work hard there and i only took the job to get "in" and move to a better job..i started at the laundry/lowest place now i am stuck where i am...

No money at home working, no money inhouse working - Puzzled

You seem to have a block in working. You donâ��t have to be chummy-chummy in order to do a job and make your money. What is wrong with saying a nice good morning and then continuing on with the work at hand? Reading your post, you had issues at home and now issues at work. There is a pattern there and you need to have a talk with yourself. Making enemies inhouse will certainly not help. I worked inhouse for over 25 years and never was 1 of the players, kept mostly to myself, eating lunch alone, etc but still liked by most. It can be done.

I don't like people either, - army of 1

but I have never been rude to others just because I prefer to work alone and not participate in the gossip and chit chat.

I would try to find a part-time at home MT job and if you can, do that for at least 6 months while also doing your in house job to make sure it works out. Then, make your final decision at that time.

Good luck to you.

moral support - Patti

[ In Reply To ..]
MT no more - It's all in the attitude....an attitude of gratitude.
Be grateful you have a job, whether you like it or not. Many people are out of work, and being grateful that you can pay your bills will go a long way towards lightening things up for you.

Treat people with dignity and respect; you get more with honey than vinegar. Try smiling and being pleasant, even when you don't feel like it...just for practice. You'd be surprised that people will react positively to you.

to....hate my job - mt way too long

[ In Reply To ..]
How long did you do MT before you left 1.5 years ago? It is not easy getting a job when you are coming straight from another MT job and its even harder when you have been out for awhile even for a person with years of experience. I know I did it. Was out for about two years totally and it was not easy getting a job back in the field. I think my 33 years experience helped, but not much.

I agree with the other poster who said something about having "working issues."
You might want to rethink your work history and attitude. Its bad enough in a normal economy but this economy is nothing to be playing with when trying to find a job. If you have a job, you best keep it. They are hard to come by.

Ty all and your right...your all right...i need an attitude adjustment and i started that today...while others made comments i did not..i just did my job...i do eat lunch alone most days..breaks alone most days and take a book or knitting with me...

i was an MT for 7 years before i got this job and needed to take it...

you all have opened my eyes up to it just being me and not everyone elses issue..it is mine and i need to own it and get over it and just get my job done....well i do have a meeting tomorrow that i just found out about because the hospital gowns were not perfectly aligned in a nice stack (fingers pointed at me) so i need to think about a way to handle that one in a positive light and i will do it...

THANK YOU...i just new that i could find some answers here and i have...

A positive light - Happy MT Robin

Good luck with your meeting tomorrow. I've been on the receiving end of a few of those myself. Whatever they say, take a deep breath and count to ten before you say anything. That always gets me in trouble. Then, if they are telling you that you are not doing something correctly, my response always has been in the past "Thank you. How do I do it correctly?" That puts it right back in their court, but in a polite way. You've acknowledge their complaint/criticism, and you're asking for their knowledge so that you can improve your performance.

I've been in those situations in the past where I just hated the people I worked with and hated the job, so I know sort of where you're coming from. Good luck. You'll get through it.

For surgical scrotal support, doctor says " a scrotal supportee was left in place." I have googled this, looked in Stedmans GI/GU, surgical and equipment books. Cannot find. I would like to think scrotal supporting, but she definitely says "a". Has anyone heard of this? Thanks. ...

In the process of "the merge," I spent more than 2 hours on the phone with 2 support guys and one advanced support guy, before they could figure out what the problem was. This was unreimbursed time in the evening - MY time. The guy I walked with before the advanced support guy, who was logged on to my computer (MY computer, not MQ's) asked me for my password. This guy was snippy and sarcastic, and I wasn't happy giving him my password, but since I needed the ...

I was all set to just quit MQ this past weekend, I had just had enough, even though I don't have another job yet, but am finishing my courses, which I am almost done with.

I keep hoping they will just fire me or lay me off so I can get unemployment, but so far nothing, even though I'm certainly not turning in the work I ...

I called support, and now it says you can be transferred to an International. Well, guess what I got..... I was on hold several times, because he had to look up my "file." In the end he was not able to help me. Told me to call my TSM. Then I looked at the confirmation email they send out with the summary fo the "incident" and the grammar is horrific. What happens if you work night shift, you know you will get International, because their afternoon is our night. Tha ...

Since MM bought out my company a few years ago, I have lived every day in fear...fear of audits, fear of pay cuts, fear of getting fired. I'm a single parent, and this job is all I have to keep food on the table, pay my bills, and take care of my kids. I enrolled in an online course a few months ago, which is somewhat empowering, but I can't shake this morbid fear of losing my job right now. I know there are other jobs out there, and believe me, I have looked, but the ...

It is really terrible when you come to the board to make a comment someone always has to say something negative-sometimes we are only looking for support from fellow MTs. I do not understand why there is always so much backlash. If you do not have anything good to stay keep your comments to yourself. Life can be hard enough. When the table is turned hopefully there will be someone there to lend an ear and a kind word when it is needed. ...

If you do, what are your thoughts on CMT? In reading the thread going on right now, I see MTs saying it's worthless, it's a rip-off, etc. But what do you think a union would really do? Any PROFESSIONAL organization SHOULD have standards and should have a MINIMUM certification. Like it or not, AHDI is OUR organization and the CMT is what is being pushed as the MINIMUM standard. Credentials do NOT guarantee higher pay. They say you have met the minimum standards ...
