Asking for Prayer

Posted: Nov 21, 2013

Have worked at this local company for the past 7 years - I have put in long hours and for the last 5 was hired exclusively to be the only transcriptionist for this busy PT/OT/ST rehab clinic. I had 4-5 therapists I typed for and only one of those ever got their dictation to me daily. The others would "dump" on me a week or more of work and expect me to have it done in a timely fashion. There was no one to cover for me when I took a day off, so for the last 5-6 years I have not had a "vacation" and I do not feel that 1 day here or there is a vacation. If I was behind they blamed me for not getting things done faster. About 1 year ago they hired a gal to help me, but she would tell me how much she could type and often could not handle much, so she was of no help to me. In June of this past year the office manager took one of my therapists away and gave to this new gal. She could not keep up and I would have to catch her up. I was told a little over a month ago they would be getting a new software program and that it was like what we had only more advanced and that the therapists would still need someone to help them. In the meantime they tell me that I had to do what the other gal was given and my own work. So they start sending the files to me - it would seem she had not done much the whole month of October because I received a huge amount of work to catch up and I have to have it all typed by the end of this month because their new software goes live 12/1/13.

The reason I am asking for prayer is it would seem I will be without a job come 12/1/13 because they are exclusively going to have the therapists type their own notes and initials. I am angry because of all the hard work I have given this company and was led to believe that I would still be needed a month ago - now I learn that is not the case. With 1.5 weeks left to work overtime hours and beat my body up getting them caught up on the old system - I am having a difficult time sitting here wanting to do anything more for them. I just ask for prayer that I can gracefully accept this, get the work done and to trust that God has something better for me out there! I have felt unappreciated for a long time with this company and this is just icing on the cake! In some ways I am almost relieved the working conditions I have had to endure will be over soon. Sorry this is so long.

God has something better for you!

All things work together for good to those who love God.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

God knows what you have done and have been doing for this company. He sees everything and you will be rewarded for all your hard work and effort!

He will give you the strength you need to keep going even if that company doesn't deserve it. I'm sorry you were deceived and you feel used. It just stinks sometimes.

Will pray for you - Anon

You are such a trooper! Don't you see how exceptional you are with such a great work ethic. My dear, no matter what happens with this company, you will always have your character and your tough ability to handle whatever task a job situation presents you. I get the sense you're not a quitter, you're a hard worker and, though we all would like to feel appreciated by these people we work with, our real boss is God above Who sees everything going on every day. He knows what you need. If your job goes away, there will be another one. And, maybe it's time anyway for something new, where you'll be happier. Try not to be angry. You're going places, these people will stay behind. Take what you've learned there and run with it. Keep the Faith!!!

Appreciate your prayers and comments... - lorlyn63

Thank you for all who have replied. I do consider myself a hard worker, but just never feel like I measured up in their eyes. I really do not think it was my fault I failed here - I truly feel they expect the impossible and never respected me. I am only angry because I believe if circumstances had been better and the work they had for me was sent daily I believe I could have kept them current, but I will never know because it never happened and my employer - one of the therapists told me he would never send his work to me daily, so I truly feel if there is anyone to blame it is him. I believe the other therapists just did as he did in that particular office. I don't know how I could have done things any differently. I am ready to move on and need to - this last year has been more stressful and more demands coming from them and it has gotten to the point where I have not had a life outside of work. I know God has other plans for me - praying He guides and shows me the way! Thank you for your encouragement and prayers - they are greatly appreciated. Blessings,

The good thing is you will get unemployment when they lay you off. - me

You will be able to rest for 6 months or more, depending on your state. You are too kind and too loyal to this place. Please keep us posted. This is a blessing in disguise.

I was just terminated from my job at TTS this morning. I made a mistake in a cc request. This is after months of 100% QA scores.

Please pray I find a new job, a better job, where my efforts are appreciated and rewarded and that TTS administration gets what they de ...

I've passed all the tests, so they say, but nothing has been offered to me. I have been a transcriptionist for over 20 years. C ...

Good morning, I really need prayer. I've been an MT for about 20 years. Most of it was spent transcribing in-house, with a fair amount of experience with ESL dictators. My speciality was always operative notes, and I miss them! I went on to work for Spheris for one year and MedQuist for three before we lost our home. I've been working for a private psych hospital for nearly 5 years. It's been a good job, except for feeling like I'm on a different plan ...

I would like for people on this board to pray with me concerning my job. I am a "Nana" to 6 grandchildren who have no support from their fathers, so I really have a high budget. However, my job is to say in the least horrible. It is straight typing and in my 14 years of experience as a transcriptionist I have never had trouble making my line counts except with this company. It seems there are 10,000 different dictators. I am not making enough to even meet my budget and need a job so bad. ...

Two years ago, February 28/March 1 at 4:01 a.m. my life took a major dive. I was awakened to my neighbor pounding on my door, yelling "FIRE!" My fiance and I had minutes to get out of the building. We lost all our possessions. I can't tell you how hard it was to watch everything you own go up. I lost family menento's that can never be replaced.
