I was laid off May 22nd…..I’ve applied to OVER 100 jobs, gotten 5 call backs, interviewed for two of them (didn’t hear back from the other three after I let them know by phone I’m available for an interview) got second interviews for the two jobs…..haven’t heard back! It’s been over two weeks…..safe to say I didn’t get any of the two jobs. I literally checked off every single box of what they were looking for! Both interviews went sooooo well!! I’m really starting to lose hope.

I just got an incredible job offer from a private clinic, but I literally handed in my two weeks' notice at my hospital yesterday and now they’re throwing a massive counter-offer at me. They suddenly found the budget to offer me a 15% raise, a preferred schedule, and the exact title change I’ve been begging for since 2024. Have any of you ever accepted a counter-offer from your current employer and actually stayed happy?

I’m in a high-volume imaging center making $34/hour, and I’m being asked to train a new hire who is starting at $41/hour. When I asked HR about a market adjustment for my own rate to match the new hire, they told me it wasn't budget season and that my compensation would be reviewed in December. I am literally being forced to hand over my years of institutional knowledge to someone making significantly more than me. Should I refuse to train them until my pay is adjusted, or is that just shooting myself in the foot?

Hot take: The Patient Portal was a massive mistake because it gives people access to raw data they don't understand, causing immediate panic. I spent hours answering frantic messages about a slightly elevated white blood cell count or an incidental finding on a scan before the provider even had a chance to look at the results and write a note. It’s creating a culture of hyper-anxiety and adding hours of unpaid triaging to our workloads. Do you think immediate access to labs actually helps patients, or does it just create more chaos for the staff?

I hate when I answer the phone at work, and the caller immediately asks who they are speaking to and proceeds to use my name throughout their request. It's very patronizing, you don't know me and it doesn't give you any power to say my name ugh. Anyone else experience this?
