My new secretary is making me want to put a bullet in my head...

[Cutiebaby]

Cannot be any worse than the new Medical assistant who keeps sending me digital imaging scans from the fax inbox to my telephone incounters instead of assigning them to the pt that they belong to then sending them to my direct fax inbox..She is a complete ass, and the scary thing is she was a unit manager over at the local hospital just last year, yikes!

I thought the subject was displayed at the top of the email when you print it out? I guess it depends on the email app...I know outlook does it by default.

She seriously misrepresented the scope of her experience and abilities on her resume. Her references checked out because she is very likable.

I am VERY patient, but she makes me NUTS!

I'm back in the office now to type a memo on how to check a calendar.

Holy cow!

Thats fucked up, forget the art of happiness...
can her.

Hell, I'm dissapointed, I thought you were talking about sex toys

she is making me completely insane.

I taught her, literally, 5 times how to pull up our worklist of tasks that are assigned to her and complete items. I took on her duties to update websites to clients about their cases because she sounded so clueless that she made no sense and came and asked me on every simple case. I told her, "you just work at completing your calendar items."

So, today I send her an email to set a sale date for a property in Jefferson County. She printed the email and then deleted the email. She came into my office and said, "did you send me this email." I said, "well that is my signature block at the bottom of the email, isn't it?" "Yes. Well, what do you want me to do?" "What does it say that I want you to do?" "Set a sale date, but you don't have the file number in the email." "I put it in the subject line." "I deleted the email."

OKAY....So I say, "I don't have time for this right now. Please print out your calendar worklist and compile a list of all the items I have set you a calendar item to schedule a sale date for Jefferson County. Then, call the master commissioner and give them a list so that they set them all on the same date"

BLANK STARE LIKE A MONKEY DOING CALCULUS.

"What is a calendar item?"


!!!!

I nearly fell over. This is the number one thing I taught her and what she was supposed to be doing for 3 weeks now!!!! She claimed "no one ever showed me that. I wasn't trained."

I did have to raise my voice a bit. "I TRAINED YOU TO DO IT, MANY TIMES NOW!!!"

Fuck me. She makes me want to put a bullet in my head.

You're a woman.. Im sure most people make you want to put a bullet in your head.

 

[SpyWizard]

you raised your voice?? would that be a hostile work environment?? does your firm have a policy against that/? or will they send you to training??

She must have had a standard probation period in her contract. She is new. If she's not performing, fire her and hire someone else. Aren't you a legal office? This is normal procedure.
