changing jobs

[lisakaye]

I gave notice on Tuesday that I will be leaving my current job on Friday the 15th. My supervisor was really upset. I got a new job closer to home without the Wall Street commute and for more money. Anyway to make a long story short now no one talks to me. Not my Supervisor or any of the upper management. They all walk by me look at me and keep going.. How rude can they get? Then I find out today that the other 2 Medicare billers that are here got a raise and were told that I am not going to be replaced... Kinda makes me feel very unappreciated. While being here I had the highest numbers of the 3 of us and I tought the other 2 how to work the Medicare system. I feel like I was taken advantage of. I just don't know how to feel right now. I am going through the motions and counting days till the end. I only hope the new place treats people with more respect.....

Oh Lisakaye, I know how you must feel. I don't know if it is medical jobs or what, but they seem to be about the worst place for that kind of thing.... I went thru something similar when I worked in the Coding area at a local hospital here.....it was unbelievable how cruel and mean some people can be. And a friend of mine also went thru the same thing at the clinic where she worked (it got so bad for her she had to quit her job there). But good for you that you got a better paying job and closer to home! Just hold your head high, and try not to let those idiots get to you....you are a better person than they are.

When I took Family Medical Leave, when my Dad was on home health hospice before he passed away, my supervisor and co-workers got so incredibly nasty to me. After I came back to work, after my dad passed away, no one would talk to me....I was so upset....I had just lost my father and had to watch him die. And then to return to work and my supervisor actually gave me a hard time for taking time off work, and then my co-workers quit talking to me. I was floored. It is one reason why I may not return to a job in medical records/Coding. I have been looking for jobs elsewhere. So sad that health professionals really are not professional or compassionate. This happened three years ago, but I am still finding it difficult to even want to go back to a job in that environment.

I can see how that would make you upset. I would be too. There are soooo many thankless jobs out there. Best of luck in your new job.

Well I worked in Accounting for 5 years at the same company. When I left the girl that had sat next to me for 18 months did not even say Goodbye. I don't recall too many people at all even asking me about my new position. I sort of expected that. Chances are they secretly want to leave and are jealous that you had the guts to try. IMHO.

BUT a one week notice is rather short?? They should be happy you are leaving, if they make more money because of it

When my dad was dying of lung cancer the SOB at Walmart asked me if he was under the care of a doctor, like he did not believe me when I said he had 6 weeks to live and my mom was alone with him doped up on morphine. He wanted me to stay late and I said no. Could not leave Walmart fast enough. Its not just the medical profession, but you would think they would be a bit more understanding...not.

Congrats on the new job and sorry you're being treated like dirt :mad:. In my industry, you better be ready to clean out your desk the moment you turn in a resignation. They don't want you to let the door hit you in the ...well, you know.

[Ariesgrl131]

I know exactly how you fill! Just keep your head up. and congrats with your new job I hope everything works out.

[JackieB]

Sorry, lisakaye. I've been through that kind of nonsense before as well after announcing that I was leaving. Just be proud of the work you did and hang out here with us! This new job should be much better.

[Remali]

Oh miracle whip, that was just awful of him to say that to you. After my witchy boss said such terrible things to me on my very first day back to work after my dad's funeral, I just looked at her and told her that if anyone else ever had to go thru what I just went thru that I hoped they were shown more empathy than I was......it wasn't one month later and my boss's father passed away. I couldn't help but wonder how she felt and if she remembered how horrible she was to me when my father died. Sometimes what goes around comes around in strange ways.

Lisakaye, I know your new job will be so much better for you!

[vicklynn]

Aw shoot hon. I am sorry((HUGS)) People can be so rude when someone trys to move up in their life.
Ignore them, they dont pay you, the business does. You are moving on to better things for you, that is all that matters. More ((HGUS))
P.S. jealousy is an ugly color...lol

[Ranger44]

I'm a glass half full kind of guy and I would look at it like it's only until the 15th and you obviously made the right decision to leave. Congrats on the NEW job. Your coworkers are probably just frustrated that you are leaving and acting a bit immature about it.

[starkitten]

Congrats on the new job!!!!! - sorry they are being that way to you :(

At my work when you give your notice they usually walk you out the door and mail your stuff - at least you get paid for the two weeks I guess - I never get to say goodbye to my ex coworkers - kinda sad :(

[carla]

You ARE going to be missed.. that's why the others are getting a raise! And they're ignoring you because they're jealous. Simple as that!

I'm sure I'm not the first to say these things, but I'm pretty sure they're true.

What kind of place do you work for now? I billed MCR/MCD for the ambulance company I used to work at and was a lot like you, numbers-wise. But when a biller quits, IME, they're rarely replaced. Funny, because nobody else ever wants their work! (because they can't do it as well, of course) :p

[lisakaye]

Thank you everyone. I am not the kind of person who takes leaving a job easy. I get attached to the people. It just really hurts that one morning everyone says hello and the next you don't exist. Amazing. And you are right Remali. The people in the medical field are sometimes the worst with understanding. I explained to them about the need for earlier hours due to my family and they refused. When I was hired I was told I could leave early twice a week to go to school and then they renegged on that too. I gave thema as much notice as I could given the holiday comming up and the new place didn't even want me to give notice. I don't want to be starting a new place the week on Thanksgiving. I did try to explain everything to them but now I wonder if I explained too much and should have just left like all my friends told me to do. It seems like no matter what I do no one is happy with it. Whatever it may be my family has to come first.

[Kaitlyn]

I know that feeling too. I'm in a new job search as well. But the places I left were sad to see me go, at least the little guys on the totem pole like me were. Oh well, life continues to go on.

[Remali]

When I applied for unemployment they told me that the worst places to work for are factories and medical jobs (as far as being let go from your job like I was, or leaving a job, and how the employer handles things).
