It feels like internal promotions move at a glacial pace and job hopping is how people get paid. I’m tired of waiting, but also nervous to jump in this market. How are you deciding when enough is enough?

I look for evidence of momentum. If learning, scope, and pay are all stagnant for over a year, waiting rarely pays off. The risk of staying quietly compounds.

The question is also like, when should you jump? I want to move up but there is no clear path way to move

Internal promotion and pay bump are not necessarily synonymous. When the internal promotion doesn’t pay, that’s when I wouldn’t bother waiting and look elsewhere. Right now, my next level is something worth waiting for, at least for a while. Curious to know how others see it where they are.

Most people would say now is not the time to jump. But with that being said, if I was unhappy or underpaid I would still jumps. Just want more money and that will always be on your mind, then jump if you can afford the risk of being laid off at your new company.

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?
