Thank you all for the feedback <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> I didn't say anything today. We had our monthly staff meeting during lunch and the tension was high enough over other issues that I wasn't about to approach the owner with this one afterward. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

The owners are my only real supervisors. One of my coworkers is technically the OT supervisor; but that is just by default of being the first OT they hired. She is likely unaware of the situation and definitely has no say in the matter; so I'd just be needlessly dragging her into something. They just lost a very good PT over some scandal and then, unsuccessfully, tried to hire her back after they had a change of heart; so I think that will be in my favor if I make an issue out of what is going on. It took me less than 3 months to exceed the 1 year patient load goals they set for me. My best piece of documentation is my 3 month eval (which they finally got around to 5 months into my employment). On the 1-5 scale, with 3 being "meets expectations", 4 being "exceeds expectations", and 5 being "exemplary"; I had mostly 4's and the rest were 5's but nothing 3 or lower. Not to come off cocky; but they will be hard-pressed to find another new grad that can fill my shoes and bringing in an established OT with a good ortho background is going to cost them much bigger bucks than that 30 minutes a day I'm requesting. He is at the West Lafayette clinic until Friday afternoon; so I'll probably take care of it then. That gives a couple of days for the fires from today's staff meeting to cool a bit and, once I present my case, the weekend for him to decide how much he loves me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
