Ok I’m not sure where to put this but hear me out. I (28F) worked part time for a while until I found something that I became interested in when browsing jobs online. It was an insurance coordinator position that includes paid training at an orthodontics office. I thought that since I like billing, I’ll might as well apply for the job and see if I get it -cuz hey, you’ll never know.- I got an email from a recruiter who works there and she wanted to do a Google meet interview which I was okay with. After the day of the interview, I thought it went well and then got another email from her asking when I can come in for an in person interview (which was part 2). I scheduled one with her and then for the day of the in person interview, I was introduced to the Financial coordinator who then interviewed me. While I was on vacation, I got a call from the recruiter and said she was offering me the job! I was surprised yet happy about it and kindly accepted it. The first week I was there, I was in the training process and was learning a lot. It got to the point where I felt my brain getting all fried. Sometimes I felt my eyes getting irritated from looking at the screens, and I do hesitate when I talk to financial agents on the phone at times because I don’t wanna ask and say the wrong things. But, I do know that it’s something that I’m working on to get better. I thought the ppl working there seemed nice; they wanted to get to know me which I found, odd? Like it’s nice that they wanna get to know me as a person but at the same time I’m just not used to people asking me questions like “what’s one of your favorite foods to eat?” and “where do you like to shop” and all that. I’m an introvert, I’m not a sociable person; I’m the type that’s self-reserved. It does, however, feel nice that there are people that I can talk to, and I did got to know them as well. The job itself was a ton of work and the schedule was schizophrenic (hours were different each day and kept switching locations) which I didn’t like but I figured since I’m still learning and training day after day, it will get better. Then a week and a half came along; they told me and the other woman they hired who started a week before me that they were going to give us an evaluation separately. Strange because they told us that we would be getting one after working there for 3 months. The other hire got hers first. After that, her face looked neutral to me and then left to clock out to go home. When they called me in for an “evaluation,” THEY LET ME GO AFTER A WEEK AND A HALF! There was no evaluation. I was shocked and emotionless at the same time. I asked them why were they letting me go. They apologized and said that they’re not obligated to answer my question. However, they told me that I’ll get paid for the week I have worked. After I signed the sheet of paper and left the building, I was fuming on my way home. I couldn’t believe this happened to me. I was still in training; why the fuck did you hire me and then tell me that I’m unfit for the job?! I never met any of the doctors while being there, I only met the patient coordinators. This never happened to me before; they wasted my fucking time! I felt like I was scammed!
Idk what to do at this point but I’ll see what else is out there that I can do.
TLDR: Took a job offer as an insurance coordinator from an orthodontics office. Financial coordinator and recruiter let me go after a week and a half while I was in training for no reason. Drove home pissed off because they wasted my time and felt scammed.
