Why do you settle for that?

I was hired in by a MTSO I will not name on this board because the owner and one of the team leads often post emails on this board as misguided MTs.  I was told after being hired that the account immediately will become VR.  Then after signining on the dotted line, I was informed that I will be doing consults, but failed to inform me that they were hard, fast, operative note consults with small hard to understand words in between that you have to listen to repeatedly with VR.  Well, since I was there I decided to give the account my full attention and skills and took VR seriously. However on a daily basis, emails started pouring in stating that the hospital was having problems with our work and many errors.  I gradually became aware of the mess I got myself into.  Emails daily poured in with correction changes,  add ons, etc, but we were never given account specifics, instructions, etc.  The story goes on and on.  Then, we were told that our pay will be decreased if we were one of the ones the hospital found an error on.  I also was told that we needed to be whipped in shape and we needed to know how lucky we were to be doing VR.  Now, granted, I did not find VR that bad, but the account, operative consults were no cake walk and the MTs on this account were dropping like flies.   I did the unthinkable, I quit without a plan.  I do not recommend this to anyone, but I just got fed up and refused to settle and knew that they were lucky to have me and not the other way around.  To date, I have had 6 job offers and continue to get phone calls, including one to work in house, but with no benefits.   I am not opposed to VR, but am opposed to being treated and told anything.  I did not settle and I am glad I did not.

Thanks to this board, I did not want to settle.  Thank you  ALL!!!!
