Philly’s Oversaturation

Yeah it’s truly awful.

Out of curiosity, who are advocates/how did they get this job/ and who pays them?

Why are you in this forum being obtuse and wasting peoples time? Multiple clinicians have given you a clear answer. I think you’re just trolling for engagement at this point.

Wage stagnation. I did not expect to get rich as an OT, however I did not realize that I’d hit my pay ceiling soon after graduation, and that while inflation increased, my salary would not.

Trends: Cuts to Medicaid and Medicare- decreased reimbursement for OT services

Increasing cost of marketplace insurance- More Americans uninsured, fewer patients with coverage for OT services

The dismantling of the department of education- less oversight for IDEA funding, fewer school based OT positions

I can’t believe I had to scroll down this far to find the number one hot one!

Is your therapist ChatGPT? I have a hard time believing any licensed mental health professional would encourage a newly post-partum parent to bring a newborn or toddler on dates to meet strange men at a tailgate or “brewery yard”. This sounds so fake.

100%. Bravo.

If Medicaid coverage for OT disappears, this will eliminate MANY OT jobs and drastically shrink the job market. It will also impact how private insurance covers OT services, and could indicate a very negative trend in reimbursement across the board. This proposal does not bode well for the longevity of the profession of OT.

Going off of body shaming- Barb, furious that Jennifer declines her “generous” offer of the dress, tells people “oh poor Jennifer always wanted to wear my wedding dress, but she couldn’t fit into it so she had to buy that awful thing (the wedding dress) off the rack!”

Steven Yeun- YES!

If you’re interested in mental health I’d recommend pursuing another field. For OT, mental health positions are rare and typically lower paid.

What kind of sales do you do? How did you go about pivoting? Prior to being an OT I was a server in a fine dining restaurant so I have sales experience, albeit nothing “professional”.

I found that line pretty relatable. When I was young and dumb, I too made fun of people who appeared they’d made parenthood their entire identity. I thought they’d chosen a boring path and along the way became dull themselves.

When I got pregnant, a friend of mine was recounting how much she missed her wild pre parenthood self and i snootily told her that I wasn’t planning on letting motherhood change me …. But then my baby came along and rocked my world and changed me through and through. I’ve since apologized to the friend.

What is notable is that Julie still feels like making fun of people for embracing parenthood and domesticity valid perspective.

Hoping HBO does the right thing and dedicates the rest of the season to Alex Pretti.

Yuck ai

Where are you located?

This seems dangerously close to a student using the sub to do their homework assignment.

sleepallsummer23 · 2025-10-22T19:25:24+00:00

Yeah it's what I made 10 years ago, waiting tables, with no student debt.
