RxQueen875, the only way to beat barracudas is to beat them at their own game. Come into the office all dolled up so the Doctor will notice. Do not stoop to their level no matter what. They sound like bitter old women. Yes men are more fun to work with, they are not catty people. Just do your job and come home. Give them the minimal interaction necessary to do your job and do fun stuff while working. Make it a game in your mind and WATCH them. They will feel the tables turned and will trip up doing their job. Mind games? Yes, but it is survival and it works. I stress again, no matter what Do Not stoop to their level and mouth off or walk out. Show you are bigger than them and professional. They will crack and you will win. It works every time. Hang in there and in the meantime transfer for a better paying position, i know you can do this. Home transcriptionist pays well and it a good step up. tc
