I've been working 2 months. One doctor on my account makes mistakes constantly, says the wrong dates, sends in partial audio files, once sent in a file that was nothing but his side of a cell phone conversation. He complains constantly because he says these are my mistakes. Now, for some reason, my QA person has told him she 100% agrees with him. Also, he thinks I'm the only one working this account, so if someone else makes a mistake I still get yelled at.
This is a small private company and this doctor insists on using an old system from 2001. It will screw up Word files sometimes. I get blamed for that, too. My QA person won't answer my questions, instead she starts complaining about unrelated things. Today she called me before I was finished with a report because she thought I MIGHT make a mistake on it. No reason, just thought I might.
I got my 2nd paycheck Monday. I get $3/hour, mainly because we run out of work. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get fired (and I'm pretty sure the lady before me was fired, too), and I'm trying to figure out why I shouldn't just quit right now and work at a dang McDonald's for more money and more respect.
