What are some of the common things you have had to write staff up about? I am considering writing up a staff member regarding calling off of work. Before you write someone up do you usually reach out to HR first to confirm if appropriate?

I usually check with my manager first and sometimes with HR if there is any question about what actions to take. It's my least favorite part of my job, but it comes with the territory.

I confirm with HR the process and make them aware of the situation. Unfortunately, employees may go to them and accuse you of picking on them. I have seen it happen repeatedly. Make sure you have dates of when the employee called out. In the write up I always include the dates and whatever timeframe may be included in the handbook (ie no more than six call outs in a twelve month period). Also I include a copy of the attendance policy.

HR will guide you though to ensure the process is followed.

Preparing to give notice to my current firm. Accepted an amazing opportunity to lateral at a more prestigious firm (better compensation, lower billables, and shorter commute).
I’m excited to make this jump, but it’s still bittersweet for me because the partners at my current firm are truly amazing and I have learned a lot from them over the past few years and will miss them a lot. Any insight on the best way to have this convo without burning bridges? Thanks!

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

Does anyone else constantly get mistaken for a nurse? I get it, I'm 5'4 and Black and work in pediatrics, but the assumption and casual racism is kind of ridiculous when the actual nurse has just told you that the doctor's coming and then I walk in the door. Doesn't really help when I'm one of the only Black on-call physicians. Annoying.

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.
