I gave notice on Friday. I’m leaving because of a terrible toxic & environment. But also: the company gives no support to us, short staffed, taking on extra duties, company took away 401k matching ,PTO & raises, micromanaging office manager + more. Everyone is planning on leaving in June & I was getting ahead of the sunken ship. I’m slightly regretting it although it’s a miserable place to be I made six figures as a PT hygienist in SE PA— hoping I made the right choice but feeling doubt-HELP!🫣

Mental health is so much better for you. I did the same years ago and I never looked back. I’m in a healthy environment where I make a good income now and I would never change that for more money.

Let me guess. Sonrava bought you out? It’s happening here too. Everyone is leaving. Mass exodus. I’ve never seen a company so efficiently run into the ground before. It’s horrible. They’re horrible. Get out and live your life, friend! A healthy work environment is invaluable, and so hard to achieve in dentistry.

It’s the new fancy name for Western Dental. They bought us out towards the end of last year. Prior to that, I actually loved the company I worked for. They were good to us. Great benefits, supported us during the pandemic, etc etc. Then Sonrava came in like a wrecking ball. 😅 What you described sounded so similar to my experience, I thought you must’ve been a victim as well! I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with what you are dealing with, but yay for having that contract end!

Ive been in dentistry for 18 yrs. I started in sterilization, then DA, I’m also a PA EFDA since 2012. I’ve been an RDH for 3 years. I hustle. I work hard. I found a job that pays me a base +commission services. It’s difficult to find. I understand I’m an anomaly for my region although others do make similar earnings working FT. I’ve traded my happiness for corporate life. There are trade offs. I’ve worked at worse companies but working for one that just doesn’t feel like the care sucks

I feel like an idiot. For the past 3 years (26yo now) I have been electing the traditional 401k instead of Roth. I get 25% taken out pretax each paycheck. Given that I’m more likely to have a higher salary (currently 100k now) and therefore be in a higher tax bracket by the time I retire, shouldn’t I have elected Roth this entire time? 😩

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?
