We’ve had many farewell parties at work lately. I can’t wait till one of them is mine. As it stands, my location is probably going to see a complete turnover in staff over the next 6 months - including all of the doctors. Corporate came in to do a “how can we help you” type meeting last month and essentially offered no real support, the gist of the meeting being “you’ll have to find what works for you.” The one thing we asked repeatedly for was an increase in pay/ retention bonuses for our one tech and an assistant who had been with the practice for years. These are our last trained support staff who can assist with anesthesia. They offered the assistant a higher position (more stress and work since we have a part time PM) with a fifty cent pay raise.
Obviously, she found a better job in the field and I’m very happy for her. Now we’re at a point where we can only do limited surgeries or we’ll have to have another doctor run anesthesia. We’re going to lose so much money as a clinic because corporate didn’t want to pay someone a couple more dollars an hour. Nonsense. Utter ****ing nonsense.
