My co workers and patients
I get a paycheck every two weeks
Like a dream. Great leadership. Inclusive. Focus on equity. Decent pay. Rewards for good performance.
Amazing benfots to work with
Stop comparing different clinics. Stop the micromanagement of weekly meetings for every clinc and every modality. Start working the different roles you manage at least each role for a week to see the ridiculous expectations. Forcing fun when it is the hardest job in my career.
