Long story short (which is difficult for me)...it was not a good fit. An 'adjustment' was necessary.
Their mission to educate people and help them get and stay healthy was, I believe, strong and real. Their hearts were in the right place in that respect.
Even with the learning curve in an industry new to me - I felt confident that with reasonable training time under my belt - the software and flow of the office would become second nature.
After 11 fun-filled days (!) they decided that I probably wouldn't be able to keep up with the 'patient flow'.
It became quite evident to me that "keeping up" meant "Get 'em in - Get 'em out - and keep 'em moving". There had better be a prone body on each of 2 adjusting tables at all times!
More like overcrowded pens in the stockyards - or several people jammed into a single section of a revolving door. Not very relaxing imagery.
Sorry - but a candle burning on the front desk counter doesn't cut it in the ambiance department.
It was a calming, relaxing and soothing place to be. I always came out feeling better than when I went in.
...the disparity proved to be too big of an 'adjustment' for all of us.
So we parted company...and life goes on.
Sorry to hear that, you have such a caring and healing nature. You weren't appreciated! This is exactly why my brother went into practice by himself, he disagreed with the cattle in cattle out nature of that business. Wah!
ReplyDeleteStay true to yourself! Don't loose your caring, sensitive nature.
ReplyDeleteWasn't mean't to be. You don't want to work for someone like this - they must of had a consultant tell them they needed to work this way to make millions. Thank God for people like you who are more compasionate than they are and couldn't reduce your morals to their level.
ReplyDeleteSomething else will come along. You'll be in my prayers!
Love ya!
Friends always know what to say to make it all better. Thanks for the encouraging words!
