Im getting a raise on the New Year. Just $1500 a year. Its not a huge one but hopefully it will help offset the money going into 401K and the health insurance. 401K was already a bit of a blow but I know i gotta start at some point. Money just dosent magically save itself.. 
Everyone is getting raises. I know in my job I dont "bring in money" to the company so my raise isnt as big as the therapists an thats ok. My team is also getting little raises. They all make at the high end of their job market value for our area. But she also decided to buy a 5th building/location. So we will eventually need staff for it. So we need to allocate funds around. Plus our clinical director is having a baby and moving back home but when she does she is staying on in a virutal role. She wont be seeing clients so her income has to be offset by the rest of the employees bringing in money too. And she makes QUITE a bit more then me lol. And then the lady who is taking over as clinical director will be getting a raise AND reducing how many clinets she sees so she can fit in the current clinical directors supervisees. Basically what was split 70/30 CD/K and Supervising Manager K Are now all shfting to K so CDK and take her maternity leave and move to PA and then return in a non income generating role. Shes going to take on some of my duties. BUT really I feel like... shes getting way over paid for that. I dont think its sustainable in the long run for her or us. shes so social and she isnt going to like not seeing clients OR team long term. But we will see. Its a lot of changes. Im looking at how ill oversee a 5th building. What staff I have for it. How ill manage that in my rotation. Im going to have to spend a chunk of every day at one of my locations and less time in my office. 


All in all, i am somewhat apprehensive because this type of growth is overwhelming in so many ways. But also ive gone from a stay at home mom to managing 4 locations and over 40 therapists. whats a 5th and probably 8 more lmao. I can do this. 
CEO said to me today, do you know how rare it is to just hand your checkbook, company credit cards ( i have three now) Payroll ( and the ability to give yourself a raise with no one knowing)  and entire finances including identity stuff over to another person and know, without a doubt that they wont fuck you over. And not only that will constantly actively LOOK For ways to cut costs and save you money. 

Ill take it. Although in SO many ways, I miss our smaller company and how we operated and whatnot. I also know growth is good. 

THANKFULLY all four of my receptionists were in. 3/4 were sick last week and it was a MESS.
