AIO? I was insulted by my supervisor, I am thinking of reporting due to this happening previously.
Hello, so I work in the field of substance use disorder & mental health. Today I received an email about changing up our clinical documentation and how we are gonna bill our billable hours now, I had called in to another department for clarity about if we needed pre-authorization to go over the billable hours or if we were capped off with the billable hours that were given by Medicaid and if we could not go over that amount of hours. Mind you, I wasn’t talking to this man, I called billing, he walked in the office and took over the conversation & said “Let me explain this on a highscool level since your not capable of understanding something so straight forward” I was fucking flabbergasted, I still am, I even cried & I am not a emotional person. I just don’t know, I don’t think I’m overreacting because this isn’t the first time unfortunately I’ve even stopped asking questions in our clinical meetings due to fear of being made feel stupid by him. I hate this and I hate that a condescending asshole like him who fucking seems to be miserable allows me to feel this way.
Edit - also I want to add that I am not the only one who feels this way, I probably feel it the most but the rest of my co-workers do not feel comfortable walking up to him and discussing work issues or ideas with him. Collaborating with him just feels like every idea you brought to the the table is the stupidest idea that he has ever heard. He also acts like we do not exist, until he wants to criticize something you’re doing. It’s so hard working here because of him, it may be time to start looking at other options. It sucks because I love my clients, I have great benefits and great pay, and I truly love what I do. I just don’t know if I can do this.
