I am a private practice anesthesiologist, now employed by one of the large AMCs. I am in the middle of a 5 year ramp up, at the end of which I will become a "partner" in the group and receive a base pay around 400k + bonus. In the contract I signed, the ramp up started at 200 and increased to 300 over the course of the 5 years. I found out early on that people hired before me were on a higher pay scale, but held my tongue. Recently I found out people hired after me were also hired on a higher ramp up (approximately 25k/yr more). I sent one email listing my concerns to the corporate manager and why I thought it was poor form to hire people doing the exact same job at different rates -- but it fell on deaf ears. I know I obviously don't have much bargaining power unless I am willing to leave the group. We like the geographic area we are in currently but I still have started applying to other jobs to potentially use as a bargaining chip.
Does anyone have any experience in dealing with something like this, trying to renegotiate a signed contract after new information became available?
Thanks so much,
Mark
