I QUITTT
As the title says : I QUIT, FINALLY
I don’t even care anymore
I hate being underpaid, under appreciated, and overworked . Over the micromanaging and having 0 flexibility. Working 8-5 for $18 an hour .
I have been an MA at this clinic for almost 1 year now and I really tried to stick around but it was taking a toll on my whole life I couldn’t do it anymore. I know there’s better out there I will not be giving up on my MA career as a whole.
I can’t even recognize myself. I wasn’t taking care of myself and felt like I was on fight or flight mode the entire time. From leaving on Friday my mind was just constantly consumed with the thought of everything I had waiting for me on Monday so I never ever ever felt relaxed.
On top of that I’m a full time student pursuing my bachelors for Physician Assistant school (which I will not give up on) I’m also a single mother . I felt like I wasn’t giving my baby my 100 after work because I just felt so defeated from the work day , that’s when I knew I couldn’t do it anymore. I hate hate hate neglecting myself , I had 0 flexibility to take self care days , never had time in the office to read a book or talk to my daughter, I CANT LIVE LIKE THAT.
Well anyway the only reason I am okay with quitting is because I hurt my back recently, I’ve been back and forth with my PCP and today she wrote me an excused absence for work today because I went to her office to get an X-ray
And they’re not acknowledging that as an excused absence. My supervisor actually said because my PCP is not within their employee health system (my PCP is with another hospital) it doesn’t count… NEVER heard of anything like that but it’s policy I guess .. so they’re not excusing this absence and it’s another absence… welp I actually don’t care because I quit. I’m picking up my things tomorrow.
I feel relieved I don’t even care. I was driving an hour to and from .
I have a part time I’ll be starting a couple days a week, I’m going on vacation on Friday and I can put my all into my 3 classes I’m currently taking AND take my daughter to all of the activities I’ve missed out on . So this isn’t a loss , I know there’s something more for me out there closer to home with better pay. I’ve been waiting for the right time, it came sooner than I expected but I’m not mad at all .
I LOVE BEING AN MA, I DONT LIKE THIS PLACE THOUGH🙌🏽
