Time Passing By and Fear of Failure *Triggers*

[OldMike]

I see medical translation because it deals with more technical stuff is much more difficult to translate than ordinary everyday language, your boss should know this. I really don't know what to suggest when it comes to your work problems, do the other translators get the same treatment as you? Just seen it's only you who does this technical stuff, could you not ask to translate some of the less technical stuff and another translator the more technical stuff? I'm trying to help but feel I'm rather out of my depth. It certainly looks like your boss is a bully the way she treats you.

So, you're basically the only person who can do the job, which means they need to respect your expertise over how long it will take to do. I am sure the client will appreciate it being done right, even if it that means it takes a little longer to do.

I'm not authorised translator, the sworn translators basically deal with a lot of standard documents, so she put a lot of work on me. I don't know how to reply to this kind of bullying and aggression.

Can you tell her how much it's affecting you?

It's really important that you get to the specialist about the lumps too. Please make it your main priority..

[selena]

Thank you, I'll make my health my first priority.

What else? I've found out client paid her around 900 euros, while I received barely 100...

And I've caught cold in my office because proper heating has not been provided.

Have you made the appointment yet?

Do you not have an agreed amount from each job or are you paid a salary?

Not yet, I'm waiting for my salary.

Salary only for a manager job, there is also an amount for translation and that's quite low.

[Suzi]

When do you get your salary? Can you not call and make the appointment now so you know you have it?

[selena]

Next week. I think so.

I have another issue - fear of speaking about myself and desire to run and hide everything about me like I've commited something bad. Thay's shame because of PCOS.
