When you’re unhappy at your job it’s a good idea to try and fix it up before you give it up. What might make it better? Do you want to go down in hours? Change your schedule? Do less trauma call? Before throwing in the towel or simply enduring, it’s important to see what can be improved. Our guest today, ENT surgeon and podcaster, Dr. Bradley Block, joins me to talk about how to approach your employer to ask for what you want. We talk about steps to take to help you negotiate and have the best chance of success. You can find the show notes for this episode and more information by clicking here: www.doctorscrossing.com/46
