I wound up quitting without notice. Meanwhile, the DVM claimed I lied about my experience and said I couldn't master simple tasks. I was actually one of seven VAs or receptionists who quit that clinic in not even a year. This career does a number on your mental health. As soon as you can, I advise anyone to find something better.

I came across an article that stated that vet staff have one of the highest suicide rates. If you're not getting sh*t on by your superiors, your clients do the job. Can't blame you for leaving while you can!

Well, good luck with your job hunt. You are right though your mental health is much more important than a job!

So sorry to hear that, OP. Your mental health really comes first. Best of luck!

It was probably a good call on your part. The fact that 7 Vas left means that there is something off about that clinic.

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)?
