I’ve slowed down and I’ve been trying to reach out to partners to get more work. Since we’re all remote, I’m running into the issue of partners not responding to emails or missing them.

Try calling. I get so many emails every day I have to prioritize responses. One of my partners has never been a good email responder but instead prefers his cell phone

Pick up the phone! A phone call during this time is so much better IMO.

I wanted to spread a little positivity this Friday afternoon. I just started a new job after casually interviewing for several months at the start of the year to do a little research on the marketing job market, and then seriously interviewing/searching since May. After coming close with several other jobs but something always going wrong (low ball pay, role put on hold, etc.) I finally got THE job. I’m excited about it, I’m paid well, and fully remote. So don’t settle, and don’t give up! ✨

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.

Does anyone feel they’re adding any sort of value while going to the office? I personally don’t.

Leadership asks us to come 2-3 days in a week and if I have to work in the same way which I used to do from home then why don’t we keep doing WFH as long as your job is not suffering.
