There would be days where I would be called the F slut by homophobic people throughout the years. Sucks that they just can't mind their own business and live a happy life without tearing people down. I usually just ignore them but I always wanted to confront one in person but always get too nervous and scared to.

Has anyone here actually confronted a homophobic person in public after they harassed you or others?

Does Greek Theater have a strict dress code? There is an artist I am going to see that loves to show off her body and sometimes flashes everyone too lol. We seen her in smaller venues before and usually it's pretty much any clothing, we would even some people just weaeing only underwear with a top and that's it(kind of like coachella). Does Greek Theater allow that type dress code?

I started out as a hairstylist for about 5 years, but when COVID hit, it completely changed the direction of my career and I transitioned into the hotel industry. I actually did really well in hospitality and stayed in hotels for around 3 years. However, my last hotel job burned me out badly, so I started looking for something different.

I went through 10+ interviews for various jobs and constantly made it to the final rounds, only to not get selected. Eventually, I landed my first dental job at a specialty office. They hired me despite not having a dental background because they valued my hospitality experience and liked my personality/customer service skills. I stayed there for about 6 months until I was suddenly let go without any warnings or clear explanation.

After that, I started working at a general dental office as a Hygiene/Treatment Coordinator. Even though I came in with very little dental knowledge, I picked up the systems quickly and became good at keeping schedules full and staying organized. I still struggle sometimes with dental terminology, but I’m learning more every day.

The problem is my current office environment. I genuinely like my coworkers, but my boss has been extremely difficult to work with. She micromanages almost everything I do and rarely gives me room to breathe or work independently. Even though I was hired to help relieve her workload, she often takes over tasks herself and can make rude or harsh comments without realizing how discouraging they come across.

At one point, she gave me a project to work on and I was excited because I’m genuinely passionate about improving processes and contributing ideas. My coworkers actually liked what I created, but my boss didn’t, and ever since then she hasn’t really allowed me to handle projects anymore. That honestly made me sad because I care about doing good work and wanted to help improve the hygiene side of the office.

Now I’m at a crossroads. Part of me wants to leave and go back to hotels because I miss the hospitality environment and selling rooms, but dental offices generally pay better. I’ve also thought about possibly working in dental insurance, corporate dental, or eventually becoming a front office manager if I continue in dentistry.

I guess I’m just wondering if dentistry gets better with the right office, or if this field simply isn’t for me. Has anyone else experienced something similar or made a big career pivot like this?
