It’s so interesting how different offices operate…
And it can also be pretty darn weird!
Take the office that’s featured in this story, for example.
The folks working here seem to have some odd rules, and the person you’re about to hear from it OVER IT.
Check out what she had to say about this situation.
Got in trouble at work for using my name.
“I work at a primary care clinic as a receptionist and I can’t stand it.
This sound like a lot of fun…
The nurses are jerks, the doctors are jerks, the patients are jerks and dumber than a box of rocks, and I only get paid $18 an hour to do the work of 3 people.
I share a first name with one of the providers at our clinic and the nurses started complaining (because they are jerks) that it was too confusing for the patients because every time I call they think their doctor is calling them.
I don’t know why these people think that their provider is doing their own scheduling and various other administrative duties.
This really isn’t that complicated!
However, even after explicitly explaining to patients that we are two different people AND referring to myself by a nickname, I got direct orders from my bosses boss that I can’t use my name anymore when I call patients.
It’s like they specifically work to find new and inventive ways to make the job even more degrading.”
