How to deal with my current job?

Congratulations on lasting one year. It does sound like your job is not working out well for you and I hope you find another that works out better. I have been fortunate to have some docs who will see us on weekends (none want early morning or late evening); have you been able to find any docs/dentists who will see you on weekends, early mornings or nights? That might give you more scheduling options. My husband always tries to have the last appointment in the day, so he can come home afterwards (he’s worked for his employer for over 40 years, so he has seniority, plus he generally works 10-12 hours/day and extra at home on weekends. He’s also a government employee.

Some workplaces are very tightknit and don’t readily accept new employees. Unfortunately, since you say the others have been there 15 years & you’re the new one, that may also be a factor at your workplace.

Good luck!
