Now I know I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but the reason for my “dismissal” isn’t washing very well with me when I hear the guy replacing me (a single father) goes to the same church as our office manager, and that he has 4 kids to support. Furthermore, the reasoning for my dismissal doesn’t sit well with me when the guy replacing me has absolutely no training, skills or experience in this field yet he’s going to be doing all the things I was doing as well as heading up some kind of home exercise program?
If they hired a guy who had the same skills and qualifications as I do, it would make their reasoning much more believable, but he doesn’t, and I’m left feeling like I’ve been wronged somehow. I can’t quite put my finger on why this bothers me like it does, but I need to write this little rant so I can, hopefully, put this behind me.
It’s a shame that I feel wronged. I really liked what I was doing as past entries in this blog will reflect. Not only did I like what I was doing, I really did love it…even though I was just a lowly tech, and I love the people I was working with.
This recent action is very much out of character for the company (as far as I know), and I hope they soon realize how valuable I was and ask me to come back.
If they don’t, I can take comfort in knowing life will go on. Either way, I wish the best for Melanie Massey Physical Therapy inc.

Addendum to the above article
6 April 07
I must place this addendum here to apologize to MMPT’s office manager for unfairly singling her out as some kind of bad guy. MMPT’s office manager is really a very sweet unassuming person who would never do anything of the sort I suggested in the article above. I’m sooooo sorry. I have nothing but respect and admiration for you and the dignity with which you carry yourself.
I guess a mans way of thinking can change over the course of a month after he’s had time to think about the situation devoid of the initial emotions that hurt him so. The fact is, I was angry and felt let down by the company and used the only finger hold I had to claw at the company the only way I could.
This was unfair and unprofessional on my part because the true reason for my “dismissal” was the fact that I was an inconsistent employee who left the clinic a man short quite frequently. Furthermore, I wasn't actually "dismissed", I was simply taken off the payroll with an invitation to continue as a volunteer since I had been working on a PRN basis since my employment began.
I’ve been in and out of the hospital over the course of the past year more times than I care to remember and found myself there even more frequently over the last few weeks of my “paid” employment.
So, Now I’m thinking about the last part of the rant above where I comment on how I hope the company realizes how valuable I was and asks me back… What a lame sounding statement that is! I laugh at my self sometimes, and right now is one of those times.
MMPT, please accept my sincere apologies for unfairly dumping on you when you were completely justified for your actions, and once again “Office manager”, I’m sorry for singling you out, and I’m also sorry for placing the new employee in the middle of this.
Another thing I regret is causing such a rift in the clinic. The last thing I want is to be the cause of drama, but that’s what I fear I’ve done and I’m sorry for it.
MMPT is truly a blessed facility with the greatest people in the world doing the best they can to facilitate positive changes in the clients they serve. I challenge anyone to find more knowledgeable, caring and dedicated employees anywhere.
