Hello everyone, I’m new to this but I work in a dental office out in LA. I’m unhappy there cause the environment is so hostile. The manager is always micromanaging me and not only that, I’ve had write ups for very dumb reasons. They’re all unprofessional and I don’t know what to do besides quit on them. I haven’t done so yet because they’re the only office I know that pays me $30 an hour and never low balled me to start. But it’s a toxic environment. I feel like giving up because of them.

Curious as to the write ups. If you are unhappy, pay attention to the red flags and find another job. Most prospective employers will not call your current place of employment if you ask them not to. When I was looking for a job as an already employed assistant I never listed the name of who I was currently at. When asked why I was looking, I just stated I was looking for something closer, less days/longer hours, etc. Never talk bad about an employer to a prospective employer.

Girl leave life is way to short. I was written up for starting treatment abd running 15 minutes behind while there were other assistants that didn't have patients. I refuse to sign the write up it was ridiculous

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.
