for context this is a VNA Animal Hospital
I have posted in here before about my manager from hell. Well, I stayed even though everybody around me has been telling me to quit for months.
Until…
We got some new hires, one quit two days in, the other was the sweetest person willing to learn and help. Well, one day she reached into the washing machine to switch laundry and a USED NEEDLE STICKS INTO HER HAND. The Drs were professional and apologetic, but then my kennel manager went to the hospital manager to inform her of the incident-
The HM said and I quote, “You need to be more careful”
Dangerous medical equipment was discarded improperly, A USED NEEDLE AT THAT, and she had the nerve to tell this poor girl that JUST started to “be more careful” I was appalled.
Then the next day my KM almost got mauled by a dog my HM approved to be handled.
THEN my grandma died. And I had to work extra to cover my absence for her funeral.
All of this happened in about 4 days.
Reality hit me- this place gives absolutely no fucks about me in any capacity.
Since quitting the new employee quit (big surprise) and my poor KM was left by herself to manage 50 dogs during spring break rush. She ended up being admitted into the hospital for exhaustion after my HM told her “she will have to quit because she will never be fired and get unemployment”
There’s now a lawsuit in talks between the dozens of ex-employees that have been abused by this terrible person.
There are so so so many more stories I could tell about negligence/abuse but this post is long enough…
Moral of the story- don’t take your pets to cooperate run hospitals. They treat their employees like expendable objects and are overworked. The quality of care given to your pet will not be as expected. ESPECIALLY BOARDING. Kennel staff are treated like garbage and your dog will not be taken care of the way you think.
