I am interested in others experiences of on the job bullying in healthcare;
AMA defines as "repeated, emotionally or physically abusive, disrespectful, disruptive, inappropriate, insulting, intimidating or threatening behavior targeted at a specific individual or a group of individuals that manifests from a real or perceived power imbalance and is often, but not always, intended to control, embarrass, undermine, threaten, or otherwise harm the target.”

It’s definitely part of the culture at some institutions more than others. Bullying has decreased significantly over the last 10 years thankfully. There is no place for it in medicine, training or otherwise.

Sounds like when I was a resident!

Try being a physician extender or nurse practitioner. I’ve only experienced really in a toxic larger urban Emergency Department.

I finished residency last year, and bullying definitely is still a thing.

I had an attending threaten to fail my rotation during residency for studying for step 3 in my free time instead of studying for her rotation. One of the biggest bullies I met and unfortunately everyone had an issue with that rotation and nothing was ever done.

Absolutely, bullying is a thing. One of the biggest names in emergency medicine bullied me for not showing proper deference

You have to wonder why successful people are still so secretly insecure. It is a sad state of affairs and likely something that could be mitigated with sweeping cultural education and reform. Likely starts with the perception of why someone is considered "valuable" amongst their peers.

Definitely exists in all careers. Seems particularly offensive in medicine or education, where the majority perceive themselves as altruistic. Just learn what type of professional you want to be - and who you do not want to be. Adjust location accordingly. Sometimes inconvenient, but always worth it.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
