Antiwork

I make 11 dollars an hour to talk with patients. Medical Staff. Drivers. I answer sometimes a little over 100 calls on a busy day. I schedule and help to coordinate transportation for non-emergency medical appointments. I work from home. 8:30 – 5, every day except the weekends. Overtime is optional. I have to deal with a lot of angry people, and follow insurance laws and medical privacy laws, and act professionally for 11 dollars an hour. I am glued to my desk. I get 20 minutes of unpaid break a day including bathroom time. Other than that, I am glued to my desk. My activity is heavily monitored to make sure I am working.

Over a year of long hours, constantly changing my schedule between 1st 2nd and 3rd shifts to cover people will called in, redesigning the system of manufacturing to make it more streamlined and so many more things. I was even going back to college so I could be a better business manager and HR knew this. I was 2 weeks away from finally closing on my first house and suddenly I was fired. Not only out a job but it about $3000 I can't afford to lose in costs associated with the home purchase. I lost the house too, lender won't give me the loan if I'm unemployed. Why was I fired? I was covering 3rd shift, very tired after working 1st shift the day before, and read a letter wrong in a file name and accidentally printed 55 copies…
