I just spent $3,600 at the emergency vet for my daughter’s cat — X-ray, ultrasound, fluids, meds, home the same day.

Then I learned this:
Investment firms have been buying up veterinary centers since the pandemic… and prices have skyrocketed.

Sound familiar?

In both human and animal healthcare:
💸 Costs go up
💸 Salaries stay flat
💸 Burnout rises

When profit leads, everyone else pays for it.

Have you noticed this trend too?

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?
