Surprise, surprise... well.. let me start by asking everyone how was their halloween? good i hope. Mine was ok... i left trick or treating a little late with my nephew so we didn't get much candy which sux but it was fun. I wanted to take all six kids but they left with another relative and we only had one.
So about the third week of October shit gets pretty bad at work. Out of no where, we have no money available in the company's bank account. We had to wait off on payroll. After that the fucking doc decides to be a total bitch. I mean, i understand that she's having problems and she's stressing, but she needs to keep it professional and not harass her employees, and if something needs to be directed, do it within the office. She kept calling my cellphone out of work leaving rude messages about what needs to get done in the office. That was not appropriate at all.
There was even a day in which she yelled at me. I was on the phone with a patient and she began to yell from across the room asking what the hell was i doing. When someone is on the phone, you can clearly see on any other phone in the office because the light to that extension glows red. So she cannot say i was just sitting and starring at the ceiling. I was dealing with a handful of paperwork in which i have been behind on for 2 days.
I was the only one working in the office. I was pretty much running the office, idk how she would think that i would have nothing to do?! So the more she harassed me the more i gave her space to cool off. I would not greet her as she came in, i would not let her know when i left, i just minded my business and did my work so there was no sort of communication with her.
Wednesday of halloween week, she calls me into the office and tells me "If you are going to be walking around the office with your mood swings, i think it would be best if you went somewhere else. I will get someone for you to train, work the rest of the month and go". Technically, the rest of the month would be until friday so that would give me only 2 days to train someone. So i went off on her. I started to yell back at her and told her that i will not tolerate her treating me like her kids, that she cannot yell at me as she pleases and she is very unprofessional and ungrateful because out of the one year and 3 months that i have worked for her, i have never complained about all the shit i had to do that was NOT on my job description. And although i basically was the only one working in the office, my position had to be promoted and i did not receive a raise.
She then said that by saying that i was complaining and it was apparent that i was not happy working there. I told her that i loved working there because of the high responsibility and the patients. Mostly the patients because you get to know them and they are very nice and thankful for everything i did for them. But her on the other hand, stressed the shit out of me. Then i told her, "If you want me to leave, i leave now, i will not wait until i train someone, you are not forced to keep me here and i am not forced to stay here, just let me know what you want to do and i will respect your decision."
She then bust some bullshit about how i have to give her a two weeks notice enough time to find someone and i replied "no i don't and no i won't, there is not contract or any written notice stating that we agree on that" so she then changed the story and said that her partners want me out because i'm making too much yada yada ya which is total bullshit because i've seen her do it and say the same shit to other people. She just can't be honest and will blame others for her actions and decisions.
So i rolled my eyes. Technically, as an office manager, i should have been making a minimum of $18/hr, the average is $20-$23/hr and max is $28/hr. I was making a lousy $14/hr for all that work, the commute and other bullshit that comes along with it. But she said i was making "too much".
So Thursday came, a lady walks in and i come to find out i will be training her. Fucking bitch got someone to replace me in less that 24 hours. So i train the lady and was trying to help her out. I was going to make Friday my last day because that was the end of the month. But i showed up on Monday to turn in the key. Since they had a new patient i had to help out so the trainee can know what to do.
Once the trainee found out i was leaving she freaked out and immediately said she would call her lawyer. Before i could go in the office to talk to the doctor and turn in my key, the trainee bursts out to the doc that i was leaving and she's not ready so i was pissed that she did that. EIther way, i admitted to the doc that i just showed up to turn in my key and the bitch asked for a resigning letter.
I was like, "WTF?! you fired me!" so i just left and she said i couldn't leave without typing one out and i said i didn't have time to discuss it because i had an interview to attend and i will be emailing her later. Fuck that bitch! I am not writing anything and i'm reporting that bitch for all the illegal shit she made me do such as no sick days, no lunch and even intensions of stealing hours from me.
Oh yea, i forgot to mention that. My payday was halloween, so when i saw that she submitted payroll on Wednesday, i noticed she refused to pay me for my hour and fifteen minutes of OT that i HAD to do because she made me stay. She then told them that i didn't take my lunch and that's why she's taking it out. Took or not a lunch, if i worked i need to get paid. So i guess she talked to someone and they told her that was illegal and she called me in the office and wrote me out a check for that amount and tried to sugar coat it by bullshitting me telling me that she knew what she was doing and she will pay my lunches separately.
So here i am. Jobless and sitting in front of my computer giving myself the attention i haven't had in a while.
I'm actually loving it. I feel free. It's such a relief that i don't have to commute from Norwalk to Tustin anymore. With traffic thats anywhere between 45 min to an hour on the 5 fwy!
Yesterday i went to the library with my sis and we had fun. I want to take this time to go to school and take a class that i want and not a class that i HAVE to take. I want to learn a new language. I want to read a book, i want to have a nice home cooked dinner ready everyday for my family to come home to. I want to relax. Watch TV although i don't like it. Focus more on tatting. I want to design clothing and see what i can make out of that. I don't want to find another job, not yet, not now. I don't want to live paycheck by paycheck and work on a schedule. I want to own my time. I want to be my own boss. I want to LIVE. I don't want to be depressed, stressed, worried, mad or tired. I want to feel like i'm getting somewhere and not become a robot and repeat everyday the same way. I want to do something extreme, something BOLD.
I know eventually i will want to get a job. But this to me is a vacation and and investment to improving myself and my future.
The worst part about it is that i will lose my place. I will have to move back with my mom or ask my aunt to rent me out a room. THATS the worst. BUt i'm okay with it. I'm not worried. I already lived on my own. I know what it's like and next time, i will come back bigger and stronger and things will be BETTER!
I'm really excited about this change. But everyone around me is freaking out, offering me money and worried about me. No matter how many times i tell them it will be okay, they refuse to think so.
I already applied for unemployment and my reason under why i'm unemployed was her quote "if you are walking around with your mood swings it's best if you went somewhere else" she did not just fire me, but she harassed me. I know she will deny it and refuse to pay, but i will also seek legal advice to send that bitch to court for all that BS i had to put up with. No sick days, no lunch, harassment, stealing hours, idk about no paid holidays. I only missed work twice since i started, one was an emergency and the second was a funeral.
Sigh- i'm just happy that i'm not there anymore.
Anyone know of a good lawyer? lol,
well, this will give me the chance to make an attempt of shooting my own set and i'm anxious to see how that turns out lol.
