I hope there is some law that vets have to tell the authorities when animals show signs of severe neglect

Yes, there is!

If a vet suspects abuse or neglect, they can contact the authorities.

Yes, it is a crime. Since we are in a position to recognize when mistreatment occurs, we must report it to the authorities for the welfare of the animal.

In the US, this varies by state. Some have mandatory reporting laws of various levels and some don't. However, most vets agree that there is a moral obligation to report.

Vets and technicians, and maybe even assistants, are all mandated reporters. So, if your clinic tells you that you can't say anything about suspected abuse/neglect, they are deceiving you.

Looking to get an Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti sometime this year. Brand new the MSRP is about 45K and despite the reputation of the old Alfa Romeo’s from the 90’s these seem to be night and day more reliable. Would you recommend buying new, leasing new, or buying used? If I bought used it would be anywhere from 2019-2021

Hello Everyone!
Glad to have fellow KP employees on Fishbowl. Please feel free to post any resources, questions, etc. on here to get the ball rolling.

I am not originally from US but I have been living and working here since 2018. Unfortunately I do not have any knowledge in IRA, Roth IRA, Backdoor, etc…so for for now what I do is to max out my 401K just to match what my employer pay and I invest all my money using an investment account with Merry Linch (guided investment).
Is there an easy way to learn more about this topics? (Something very simple like “for dummies”) everything that I found so far is confusing to me…

How do you address pay discrepancies? I just found out a VT hired a year after me, with less experience, is making $2 more an hour. She was hired when they were desperate for staff which I’m guessing is why, but I’ve felt bitter ever since finding out.
