3. Manpower and a lot of good people leaving - culture has changed.

Anyone got advice on how to talk to hr can let me know. Thanks.
Aiyah.
Old uncle me around when we still handwrite notes and seeing 120 patients a day is the norm
Let me give u some advice.

There will always be unhappiness at work.
You will always feel underpaid one

End of the day to cope , u have to change your mind set.
Chill, quiet quit or whatever.

Ops is quasi gov. It's a iron rice bowl to be honest unless u go molest patient or something
There will be high flyers meant for greater office. They might be your junior by many years but end up become your boss. Live with it. Colleagues come and go. They are not important. Your family and friends are the really important ones.
You will have gp friends who make how much money etc or tell u how good their job is.
But like social media, people never share the bad or difficult side of things.

After so long
To me, a job is a job. Sometimes I really help someone
To me that's a bonus, not something I aim to do everyday
My job on reaching my clinic is to get out as early as possible without me

A. Feeling overwork
B. Feeling irritated by stupid pple
C. No one dies under my watch.

I work out my hourly rate. Then I work out that each patient I see I get about 25 bucks
When u see it that way, u feel better.
Becuase at the 4th patient I already earn 100 bucks liao.
U try thinking this way, u will feel better.
Although I must admit, not too long ago 100 bucks is a decent amt while now it's not worth a lot.


This kind of increment news over the years not many times.
They are always too late and when they come, always too little.
It wouldn't be life changing no matter what.
You are not making a low wage tbh
Even if give u 20 percent more, your life style wouldnt change much.
So dun look so forward to it and be disappointed
Take it as a suprise when it comes instead of being angry when it doesn't

Just my very old and tarnished with age 20 cents
