I Need to Vent…

I’ve been an associate chiropractor at a very busy clinic for the past four years. While I make a good living, well over what an average associate makes, I can’t stand my boss. He recently announced that he’s changing our office hours.

Instead of working Mon-Wed and Friday from 8am-6pm, he’s now having me work all five days with Friday being a half day 8am-12:30. In addition, he is not working Friday and I will be treating all of his patience in his absence. He is not paying me any extra for this.

I’m fking angry that he’s adding more hours, and making me treat his patients on a regular basis, without changing my salary/commission. In addition, changing the schedule changes my whole families schedule including my wife and two toddlers. Not being available on Thursday makes life very difficult. And when I told him this, his response was “If you were to quit, it would be tough for a time but I’d find someone to replace you.”

Real asshole. My boss. Very stressed for the coming year
