i've been unemployed for a bit too long (i live with my parents and they have been blessedly supportive all this time but i uh. really need my own money) and i've started applying for jobs but virtually every place i've tried to research prior to applying has horrible reviews on indeed/glassdoor/etc. i'm really trying to pursue a career im vet med but it's starting to look like every single animal hospital is horribly understaffed and/or has poor management and i don't know if i should just accept this as a facet of late stage capitalism and apply to these jobs anyways or keep looking :/
for the record, i can handle the stress that comes from being exposed to sick and dying animals, and dealing with shitty pet owners doesn't phase me—it's the poor management and understaffing that concerns me. my last job was as a kennel technician and i only had 1 other coworker in the entire department and what felt like barely any support from any of the other staff at the hospital 🤷️ i loved the job itself but having to work ~30 hours every week by myself was killing me
