Got my “Home CFO” hat on this morning, and I opened up a letter from redmed<\/a>s employers. It was one page saying basically that they hadn’t received a response to their request for information about clinical privileges, and they were following up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I got to the bottom, where they said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do not intend to renew your clinical privileges, please email a resignation notice or, if you prefer, please complete the bottom portion of this page and fax it to ...<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

True to form, they included the world’s shortest “I resign my job” at the bottom of the page. Little line for “signature,” “date,” and “date of resignation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This struck me as some sort of pinnacle of bitchy administration. I mean, it takes some serious balls to send out a note with a post-script of “or if you would rather just resign your job, sign here.” This is doubly true given that redmed<\/a> provides patient care. She’s billable<\/strong>. I would go so far as to say that if there were no medical providers working at the hospital, nobody else at the hospital would have paid jobs either.<\/strong> I.e: If the doctors follow through and resign – then the person who wrote this letter will shortly be out of work as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people who sent this letter have a job, and that job is to do the administrative tasks necessary for redmed<\/a> to do her job legally and (god forbid) efficiently. For them to send her a notification of paperwork-not-filed-in-a-timely-fashion that includes a pre-printed resignation letter … I mean … just wow. I’m not often left literally speechless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you seen bitchier? Tell me about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
