Not Bitter; Enlightened

Yesterday was the 14th and we received our paychecks a day early (for the boss to sign) then disburse on the 15th. He gave them to us the same day. I opened mine and was totally disgusted at what I was paid. I had been promised a good pay rate & bonuses for all the money I had retrieved from any agencies that owed the company. You can just imagine how disappointing it was to not only wait 3 and half weeks to receive a paycheck but the amount of it is not what you expected.

WAKE UP CALL.. I was tired, completely tired. Im certain that if you work hard and bring in the money then all my efforts should have been appreciated. NOT. The words of "I can only show my appreciation with money" haunt my head. I guess he must make have to make a million dollars before expressing his gratitude.

Well, after coming home and discussing my frustration out with my significant other, sister & BFF (who is also a manager) they made me see that I had the answer inside myself; I simply had to listen to it. 

I went in this morning, printed out my resignation letter, waited for the staff to come in and turned in my keys. Let's just say this was a SHOCKER to them. All them telling me "Talk to the dr. tell him what you're worth and you demand it." My reply (and I wasn't trying to be sarcastic) was & what wait for 4 years (as you have) hoping he will pay me what Im worth? I don't think so. I no longer wish to waste my time.

As I expected, I received that "Phone Call" from the boss (After carefully informing him, I am no longer his employee and no further contact should be continued) he called asking me to return his call. WHY? to be told off for leaving so unprofessional, let him speak his peace on how I disappointed him by walking out? Etc.  I chose not to return the call. Now I have the drivers calling & texting me they will miss me and please return. This was so sweet of them.

I am a little skeptical at returning the call. I have been promised many things, and I know that if I do speak with him in my head I know I will regret it. I am somewhat of a pushover and I know that he will tell me once again what I want to hear and will fall prey.  Maybe if I get it in a signed contract, since that somehow seems the way things work with doctors these days.

I don't know if I would. I have thought about it and have realized, more like been enlightened at the fact that all this has shown me that I can do a particular job and am good at it and will focus on pursuing that role. I have been enlightened & know what I am worth................. )0(
