For a while now I've complained on this server about my current job. I've probably complained more about this job than my past jobs at the human hospital.
While sitting down all tired and feeling a bit depressed I figured out what's wrong with this job and myself. The services aka the techs and doctors are usually catered to by management. This is probably because they do the medical work. Meanwhile, my department handles the finances and paperwork. With this in mind we're automatically down the totem pole.
Within my 3 months of being here, 3 people have quit or transferred… and another one is being sent on the way due to budget constraints… which doesn't make sense to me.
He was offered a full time position but at a lower rate… and was told he should take the job. This understandably angered him, as well as me and a few others.
Others have told me that they felt the same about management as well. Now don’t get me wrong, management was the same at the human hospital. But there it felt like I had a purpose, but here at the animal hospital I'm nothing but a glorified cashier.
As for what's wrong with me? It's simple. I wasn't molded to do this type of work and there's nothing to drive me.
Though management was terrible at my previous job, it gave me purpose and it kept me on my toes. I legitimately helped people including the dead, dying, and grieving. At this job all I do is take clients' money and try to contain others (the services) mistakes while taking attitude… and they play victim when you give it back or don’t let it get to you.
My friends say that I'm settling due to the fact that I have a cert in welding and fabrication and they're right. A person on here mentioned to me that not moving on won’t help my mental health either. Apparently someone he knew thought about taking their own life because of this same thing.
While I’m not at that point, I certainly am frustrated, feeling down and burnt-out.
