The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI have received an offer to work for a primary clinic in town, and I have accepted.
I sent my acceptance e-mail off a few minutes ago.
My base salary is actually a little less than I was earning before, but the position comes with a generous signing bonus and quarterly production bonuses.
Ill be working four tens a week, which means I get my extra day off to spend with Mrs. Aristus without having to take a pay cut to do it.
Ive already met the medical team Ill be working with, and I like them all very much, and they seem to like me.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement since I got laid off. I raise a glass in gratitude. I love you all

(14,045 posts)a large firm. She received a payout of over $ m. Last week, she started a new position in a section of a primary. She is the managing partner of her office. She runs it and the supervising physicians practice is a couple of miles away.
I expect her to make another $million or so when she retires in a few years.
I hope your career is as successful.

(69,538 posts)So I'll still have some time to relax. But credentialing is a dense, tedious process, so I will be spending a lot of time on that.

(119,813 posts)and on the same day I took the COVID vaccine. I also had my flu and pneumonia vaccines with the past few months so the only one remaining is for shingles.,
Anyhow, congratulations to you and I think that you will be okay with the four day work week. I know that I enjoyed the extra day of freedom when I had that schedule.
