I realized it’s a race to the bottom. Who can give the most of their free time away for no additional pay. Then I set boundaries with EY. Yes I have a free afternoon. No I’m not going to that recruiting event 🤣 at 7pm. My kids need to see me.

Same. No desire to be CEO so I won’t compete with the crew that just live for work.

I just want to get in my 8 hours a day then be done so I can play golf or tennis or hang with my family.

How is working the 8 hours working for you?

I tried doing my job well but that just put me in a spotlight. Got executives approaching me for 'over and above' work. 🙄 Learnt to never work too well, haha

My future SIL will be one of my bridesmaids but I do not want to invite her to the bach because I’d much rather just have my friends there and not have to hold back on anything. I do plan on doing a small thing with my sisters (none of them are invited to the bach either and don’t care) and will invite her to that. How do I break this to her? I don’t want her to feel left out but I just rather not mix friends and family in a bach environment.

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!
