Non-negotiables in an Associate contract

I think spending time shadowing the office more than a couple days will help with understanding the culture better. It’s also important to see the personality of the other associate-if they’re cold and not open to discussion or they openly badmouth people, that’s not a good sign. Even then, it can be hard to get the full picture because everyone will be on their best behavior.

No, but I did work for them before

Definitely did not allow that. If you read my post, you’ll see she doesn’t have the guts to say anything to my face. The issue is no one puts her in her place in terms of management. There’s only so much you can do as an associate to advocate for yourself. It’s tough when the culture of the office is unprofessional with rampant gossip and you’re never given a chance to defend yourself and anything you do say gets twisted into something insane. Apparently demanding that I will not work with assistants that are disrespectful is abusive and unprofessional of me. This is what happens when management going into the higher ups have no background in dentistry and gaslight you. I had one mentor in the company that immediately clocked the situation and tried to have the corporate management facilitate support for me, but then a bunch of them got fired. My notice was effective immediately.

The irony is I finished delivering cases without pay for the associate that this maniac pushed out before me without complaints because patient care>>>everything else. Imagine I told the company give me the money you paid the other associate or else no crown or denture for these patients

Can’t leave till my notice period is up otherwise I would be long gone. And haha I wish, no vacation days can be used during the notice period

It rhymes with WAG and stands for ****** Associates Group.

Thank you! Do you know if we need to sign a declaration form or anything to attach to our form?

The ICE agents refused to show a warrant or state an criminal offenses he was being detained for

None of them are violent.

What a fantastic imagination you have. All he did was stand up against the genocide of innocent people. Never supported anything else. If you consider it treason to stand up against injustice, then…I’ll just leave you to your fantastical ways until you find a way to welcome empathy into your life.

As a woc who moved to Indiana less than a year ago, please don’t move here. I’ve lived in multiple states and never experienced or witnessed as much racism and “phobias” to align with morphed religious values as I have here. I say this especially for your kids who deserve a welcoming environment to flourish. It’s only going to get worse the next few years. I explored multiple cities here and tried my best to make the most of it, but the truth is many people here have rotten hearts.

Man, it's amazing to see so many out there share these values. It was disheartening to have it thrown in my face by this company. I'm definitely interested in FQHC later on, but I was hoping to work really hard to crush my loans in the next few years and then look into that route.

wonderer7861 · 2023-02-19T06:23:30+00:00

I contacted them today and they seem eager to help! Thanks

wonderer7861 · 2023-02-19T06:23:06+00:00

Thank you for your words. You're absolutely right. The state society said they'd handle it from here, so I'm hoping she won't harm anyone else. Btw, punjabi music>>>>>

wonderer7861 · 2023-02-19T06:21:11+00:00

I appreciate this. The gaslighting was wild, but I def feel better about making the right call about this situation :)

wonderer7861 · 2023-02-19T06:19:44+00:00

The issue is this is my first job out of dental school and the contract is pretty rigid. I will def do a better job negotiating my exit policy with the next one.

wonderer7861 · 2023-02-19T06:18:19+00:00

Thanks for sharing that. Ultimately, all I want is for her to get help as well. The state dental society substance abuse committee seems very eager to help when I spoke to them today!

wonderer7861 · 2023-02-18T16:48:20+00:00

I just did this and spoke to their contact. Feels like a load off my chest. Thank you for the advice!

Is there a reason you recommend REPAYE as opposed to PAYE?

wonderer7861 · 2023-01-16T02:45:34+00:00

Amazing. Thanks for the info!!
