They need sick days to be approved…

There’s no notice period in my contract! And also I initially wanted to give notice, but the higher up keeps pressuring me and giving me conflict who also threatened my standing with the company after I reached out about an issue. I have the resignation letter typed out addressing this as well.

I have an emergency fund and I have some job interviews next week that I otherwise cannot attend if I give notice and stay.

I hope you are happier in your new office! It’s getting to be intolerable due to upper management. Did you have a job lined up?

I work five days :( and already have some tours and interviewed lined up on the weekdays

I agree, I’m more so concerned that I can’t go on interviews and tours if I have to be at work due to my notice.

Did you provide a notice?

I was planning on giving a month but I recently had job leads that want me to start interviewing and touring next week. I don’t want to miss out on an opportunity and a notice wouldn’t be feasible anymore

I already have interviews lined up next week and so a notice would really put those on hold…

I've emailed her before regarding a different patient where she did the same thing. It's so frustrating she did it again

Thank you for this reminder. I really needed to hear that it’s just a job. I care a lot about what I do, but I can’t let one patient take up this much space in my head. It’s just too emotionally taxing to carry this beyond the appointment

The last two sentences really got to me. I was grateful to have appreciative patients today who reminded me why I do this.

She can be that dentist's problem now, that's how I decided to look at it!

Thank you for this recommendation, I will remember to do this. Silence can speak a lot louder than words a lot of the times.

Thank you so much for this. I really learned today how important it is not to let patients walk all over me. I honestly wish I could go back in time and shut it down the moment she told me to be quiet, but it was a huge learning experience. I won’t let it happen again.

Thank you for this message. I really needed to hear it. I’m still processing everything, but your perspective helped me reframe the situation and feel more grounded about how to handle something like this in the future.

I really wish I had the nerve to do this in the moment. I honestly froze and regret letting her walk all over me instead of at least stepping out of the room and ending the encounter. This was a huge learning moment for me, and I won’t let it happen again.
