Victimorthecrime Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Klingsor please don't apologize for posting. That is the whole point and I enjoy reading every thought that anyone shares. Please Don't let my experience dissuade you from anything because the so called school went out of business within a year of my "graduating" and I was going through a hellish time then too. I was completely broke and my mothers health was on a steep decline and I was coping by drinking hard on the weekends holy mackerel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 April turned out ok, I made their stupid ass number so I now forecast being there May and June and beyond that depends on how May and June turn out. I have to remember to be super extra nice and the phone and go slow and not be inaccurate and not miss any key statements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victimorthecrime Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Your right, I should really aim a little higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hey Small, it's a hard thing to explain. I get evaluated on a hundred different performance measures and at the end of month they get added up and that number is deemed either Pass or Fail. In a rolling 5 month period you cannot have 3 or more Fails or you will be facing disciplinary action likely leading to termination. The problem is they act like these measures are so objective and scientific but that is total bullshit. In reality there is a great deal of subjectivity. It's like facing a federal prosecutor - if they really wanna find something they easily can because in reality no one can live up to this perfection standard. But the upside is I am not facing immediate termination and am learning a ton about health insurance. Going through this kind of hell does motivate you. A lot, and I do mean a lot of people just up and quit because they can't handle the stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Ughh problems continue. It's always something. The good news is these challenges really get me to take stock and reevaluate myself. I have learned a ton about Medicare insurance and that knowledge will be useful no matter what happens. All one can do is to keep working hard and see where it takes you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I think our self talk can be so important. I hear you encouraging yourself and that is positive. How is your confidence on the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Well it's variable. Just when I feel good they will hit me with some perceived infraction for example "you should have said 'reduced rate' but instead said 'discount'". It's hard to assess how genuine or legitimate their threats and criticisms are. But regardless, the reality of it is that it falls to me, as it does to all of us, to take ownership of my life and the requisite actions.

IrmaJean Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I actually have had something similar happen at work with specific wording. It can be frustrating and deflating even, but I try not to take these things to heart. I know that I do my best and work hard. Others may never be completely satisfied but I know that I put in a full effort.I hope the rest of your work week goes well, VBNC.

Victimorthecrime Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 What hit me yesterday while taking calls is to not overthink it but rather take one little tedious step at a time and let the problem unfold and the solution will reveal itself. By taking it slow costly errors are avoided. At least having a strategy is something to lean on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Well I am still there. Keeping my fingers crossed. mts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

u.r.what.u.is Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Victim, you sound like the kind of person who deserves a damn raise, not harassment. I'm rooting for you. Victimorthecrime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Brutal. Getting ready to head out Monday morning to work, will be back in about 11 hours at best. The negative thoughts are there, I just don't worry about them anymore. I am who I am, I am where I am and whatever is unfolding is what it is. I do my best and try to forget the rest.

Victimorthecrime Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Thanx Klingsor and TooOld! Good points made. I just got home. Imagine how it is in the dead of winter. Yuck. It's a job, a paycheck, I have decent vacation time so that's why I stay. And I am one of the lucky ones to have a FT job. One thing at a time.

Victimorthecrime Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Well said Small & thanks. I do have some vacation days sprinkled throughout Oct-Nov-Dec so that helps a bit. Just so tired of it all. Meh, 4 days until the weekend, I'll survive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I can't wait for Christmas.Lol ok. Hope you have a great one. As for me I enjoy the day off but that's about it. Right now just trying to get through the week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I sometimes stop for a beer on the way home, except in winter. Friday nights I am beat, just chill in front of the TV, glad for the weekend. I'll think about the weekend ahead, what I need to get done and maybe a couple of ways to have fun.

Guest ChinaDoll Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I can't stand my boss though, for some reason, I almost always feel violated and used knowing that my work benefits him more than it does me. Then again, we're all in this boat aren't we? The "people upstairs" in insurance companies are probably filthy rich, while you might make enough to get by, and then some. Felt the same way about my last job. Makes me want to head for the hills. Small 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
