2 Year Pod iatry "Resident" works at Wendy's-PROUDby Alan Blankenship (no login)To the the reactitionary comments made by "anonoymous" I take great pride in what I do, I do not steal, have demosntrated integrity/ethics, and would never sell surgery or take money from the federal govt. to perform pedicures or cosmetic bunion surgery on otherwise healthy geriatric patients. I work in fast food, charge a fair price, and make people feel better-since I am in the people business. Indeed the salary is 45K for the asst. manager position and my responsibilities included training people, administrative -financial duties. There was a full, tangible benefits package w/o the BS incentives/"bonuses that permeate the problematic podiatry "profession." I have the W2s and H&R Tax forms for my employment since I am an employee not a devastating 1099 that also permeates podiatry. Also, I was rigorously interviewed on two days for Wendy's, there were 12 other candidates for the one position. Compared with podiatry school applicant crisis, that is much more competition and Wendy's selected from other well-qualiifed applicants. Podiatry has less than 300 APPLICANTS for 600-700 seats. And yes, I completed a 2 year "residency in "surgery" however, the training was so inconsitent and slip shot ( I was basically a private practice lackie driving to and fro to clip and do hammertoeing for 28K!?) that I decided to go back to fast food franchising because of the benefits, the salary, the 40 work week, and the job stays at the job. Furthermore, the hoop jumping to get onto to HMOs and theuseless money begging podiatry societies was even more of a joke that I thankfully got out. Good luck to all. from IP address 134.174.157.203 Goto Forum Home |
