Is this normal ?

I went on a working interview at a small private practice and had an amazing day and was offered the job. I was very excited as it was a higher rate and agreed to come in the day after to help out for a half day. This is when i realized some odd things happening and need to know if this is normal. They don’t change chair sleeves after patients unless they’re “dirty” if not chair sleeves are changed once a day. They save every itero sleeve and label with patient name to use again in the future. Bur blocks are not sterilized only the burs used. Bibs are cut in half

This friend and I went out for lunch and had an uncomfortable conversation and I ended up texting an apology later on and later I get a text from him where he sent the screenshot of that apology back to me and I saw him immediately unsend the message. Obvi, I was extremely upset and felt exposed as I already have a hard time opening up. I don't care if people talk about me behind my back because I know that's inevitable but I felt like our friendship wouldn't be the same after that; I took some time from that situation but I don't think I could ever trust that person the same. Am I wrong? Need some words of advice as I do care for our friendship but am questioning my place in our friendship

Okay let’s get into it I’m an RDA of 4 yrs and work in a corporate mobile clinic that travels and because of the mobile aspect it is hard to staff so I was alone of over 6 months until we finally found a DA. I was so so excited! We have the same amount of experience and similar age. I felt we’d get along well so I showed her the ropes and how we do things here well I noticed she would give me push back when training her but I figured maybe I need to chill out. I went on vacation and as I come back I see everything is different and she tells me she reorganized I get very upset as I see she moved everything in the rooms and sterile and tell her she should’ve communicated with me and that I don’t like it in which she responds well I’m just going to put everything back the way I like it once you walk out .. I have never had someone act like that I feel every job I’ve had I’ve always respected the system in place. I tried to move forward and later on she apologized but still continued to put things the way she likes. I’m trying my hardest not to get upset but it just feels off like I told her our system here and she says okay but does the complete opposite. I’m questioning myself like why do I care ? But I’ve just never experienced working with an assistant like this. We subbed at a different location together and I noticed she was grabbing things from other assistant ops and told her if you grab something you have to remember where from so we can put it back and she responds “well I’m busy” … I get news today that we have to sub again and so I tell my manager if maybe she can chat with her about being mindful were she grabs things at other locations and how the other assistants were getting upset and telling me things. Was I wrong for speaking out ? I really just don’t want to deal with more complaints and I’m also trying to navigate being more patient. Advice pls! Am I doing too much ???
