I am in desperate need of some guidance. When I started my present job one year ago, I was promised a "substantial" raise in 6 months. Around the 8 month point I mentioned this to my office manager. She reprimanded me for asking about a raise. Basically she said that our office was a new one and we should all just do what was necessary to make the practice a success, namely not expect a raise until the practice was making a steady profit. I was OK with waiting for a raise, that's why I didn't bring it up sooner. I am the only nurse in an orthopaedic office and the doc I work for tells me quite often that I am a very important part of the office and that without me the office would not function. The office manager constantly oversteps her bounds by giving medical advise on the phone to patients. She has also taken about 3 vacations this year and only works on average of three days a week. We are both full time and salaried. We both were started at the same rate of pay. Well, I found out about 2 weeks ago that she is now being paid a LOT more than I am. I found out about this when the accountant sent over expense statement over the fax on a day she wasn't here (as usual). I am very upset because she told me no one was getting a raise until we made a profit. Also, because we are both salaried she is making about $600 more a month than me and working way less hours:angryfire .The amount she is making would have given everyone in the office a nice raise. I am told by my doctor that I am doing a tremendous job and I know he is happy with my performance. This has caused me to feel very betrayed and angry. Should I say something to my doc, or just learn to live with it? I am afraid to rock the boat, but I know this will just become a bigger issue for me until I am miserable here:uhoh21: . Any advise would be appreciated.
