Just curious

Ya and his initial email was nice/friendly (which scared me but I mean its better than cold) and then I replied asking about openings and he was like "please contact my friendly staff to set it up" I was like oh I hate this **** already

My T worked at a company and there was a secretary but she was for everyone else, he handled scheduling etc himself. I liked only dealing with him, it made it feel more private. So I am already leaning toward "Hell no" with guy #2

i hope you give him a chance. who knows, it might not be a big deal dealing w staff for scheduling or payment.

I plan to go but it is a big deal to me... I hate social interactions as it is, the fewer the better. So unless he's really good with grief, I probably wont stay.... as I don't care at all if he's friendly/nice etc. I want none of that garbage

He just has to seem knowledgeable on the issue, then I'll debate, as he is closer than the other guy....

I honestly prefer dealing with staff for payment, as that's what ex-T and ex-MC had. They did their own scheduling, but if ex-MC had to cancel, he'd sometimes have the staff call and reschedule with us, which was OK. The two most recent p-docs I saw had staff handle both payment and scheduling, which I was also OK with, since I didn't see them nearly as often (once a month to once every 3 months). So I'd try giving that T a chance, he could just be really incompetent at scheduling and things like that.

Good luck. I am glad to see you reaching out and I hope this goes well for you.

My T has a no email thing in his paperwork as well but he goes more on a case by case basis.
