A little proof reading anyone???
Ok - this is not the proofreading part -- but can I just say that I am incredibly freakin PISSED. If you have read my other blog entries on this blog and the other one I still can not access - then you know the issue I have with being fired from my last job. I found out today from a friend of mine who still works for that stupid company that the dumb ass, fat, unprofessional BITCH that was my supervisor at the time of my unfortunate demise - WAS THE FREAKIN ONE WHO HAD THE FINAL SAY IN MY TERMINATION!!! OMG - I am sooooooooooo mad! This stupid, ugly woman with no common sense or people skills, with less than one month of supervisory skills behind her - was able to make a decision that fucked up my life! Does anyone have a voodoo doll that they are not using?
Anyway - (breathe === deep cleansing breathes) --- the following is the start of a letter I am trying to compose to the CEO of the company that fired me. I think someone needs to pull their head of their ass and do something about the morons running that company. Please let me know your thoughts on this letter:
My name is ********** and up until September of this year, I was a faithful employee of RMHP. November 7th would have been my five year anniversary with your company. My leaving was not of my doing and that is the reason for this letter.
I truly believe that some of the things that happen within your organization are not known by everyone in your company that should know. Some of the practices and policies practiced by some of your managers is ----- to say the least.
I would like to tell you my story and I will let you decide from there. I will start by apologizing that it took two months to write this letter. It has been on my mind every day since I was terminated - I just felt I should wait until I could be rational and not make this about being mad.
I started with your company five years ago and was a dedicated employee, who loved working in claims. I started as a level one examiner and quickly excelled, through the ranks, to become a lead examiner with, at first the hospital team and then with government team. I came in on average at 7am, if I took breaks - they were at my desk so I could be there for the examiners, took 15 - 30 minute lunches and gave 110% in everything I did. I received one reprimand for inappropriate use of the email system a couple years ago for forwarding joke emails, but that was the only offense I was ever written up for.
At the end of July this year, the supervisor for the Government Products (GP) team resigned and I applied for her position, a decision I regret to this day. I was not offered that position. In fact, a person, who did not even apply for the GP supervisor, was offered and accepted that position. Management decided that she needed moved from the Quality Support team. That then left the Quality Support supervisor position open. Claims management did not post that position, they, in turn, used the pool of applicants for the GP supervisor and the position was offered and accepted by the lead for the Quality Support team who had been in the claims department for about a year. This person, the new supervisor, was not, in my opinion, qualified for this position. Within a week of her taking her new position, she was out for several days and I was told it was due to stress. She had never been in management and I believe this person was not qualified on the day-to-day working of the claims department to be able to support a team the way a supervisor should.
However, again this left a position open in claims. The Quality Support team lead position was, again, not posted and, again, the original pool of applicants was used. I was offered that position, and, after much consideration, turned it down. I stated, to the claims manager that I did not want that position as I had already been part of the Quality Support team (before it was the Quality Support team) and really enjoyed the work and challenges my position as GP lead provided me. A week after I turned this position down, I was pulled in the claims manager’s office and told that a "business decision" had been made and I was being made to take the Quality Support lead position anyway. Obviously, this was not what I wanted and I was upset that I was even given the chance to voice my opinion. However, being a professional person, I did not let that affect my work. I moved into the position and did what I was asked to do everyday. Within a month of taking my new position, I was called to Human Resources and fired. I have recently come to find out that the new supervisor, over the Quality Support team, ultimately had the final decision on my termination. I would like to know how, a person with no management experience and with less than a month in the supervisor role, was given the opportunity to terminate me.
There is one issue that came up, that I took total responsibility for, while my transition to Quality Support lead happened. There were demand letters on my desk from State Medicaid that I did not know how to respond to and that I had let go past the time-frame for response. I will not make excuses for it. They were my responsibility and I did not do the proper follow through on them. The only thing I will state is that I tried on multiple occasions to receive guidance on how to work them and never received that assistance. This was a major offense, that I, again, took complete responsibility for and offered to fix. I was not given that option.
