I Was Fired
WHAT---I'M FIRED???
Medical Assistant - (City withheld for privacy), Michigan, United States
I was devastated! I found my dream job before 5 months before I graduated with my degree. I was so excited. I am a very motivated and positive person. Also a very hard worker and love to learn! I dedicated myself to this job. After 8 months, I was leaving for the day and they laid it on me-the office manager and the medical biller. I was in shock. I had no idea that this was coming. It was very unfair! Later I found out they fired me 1 day before they would have to pay me unemployment benefits from them, instead it went to my previous job which was 6.50 an hr! The unemployment office thought it wasn't a good enough reason to be fired and I had to wait 2 months for any money! This is the only job I have had for a medical assistant and now I can't find a job!

My advice, watch your back, no matter what...it doesn't matter how qualified you are or if you are a hard worker...it only matters if the employees work well with you...don't turn your back, you may find a knife in it!
