I became an office manager after working as a hygienist for a while - and not I want to make the switch back. My WLB is actually better now, but I am bored out of my mind. Has anyone else made this kind of switch?

Did you have to make peace with the pay cut since office management you wouldn’t be getting paid as much as hygiene? Or are you in a state where the pay is similar?

I want to be bored. Lol

I just got switched back to assistant and this has cured my burnout. I was assistant for 9 years, manager for 12 years. I was ready to look in new industry, but getting back with patients changed my mind.

I’m still early in my career (1.4yoe) so I feel like I shouldn’t care too much about wlb, but at the same time, I don’t want my mental health to suffer either.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated.

Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Hello everyone I have 29 years as a dental professional in Texas. I started as a dental assistant back in 1993. As my career progressed as a RDA, I moved to the front office and eventually management. I even taught dental assistants and became the Program Director of a DA program. COVID opened up remote work for me, I manage eclaims, claims corrections and billing for two offices. $20 per hour, no bonuses or incentives, I know I am not getting paid enough! Any input would be appreciated.
