What's your experience negotiating paid time off in vet med? Are three weeks of PTO (vacation and sick time) a dealbreaker for you? Any creative solutions you've tried, like asking for unpaid time off, working fewer weekly hours for a full salary, or asking for a higher salary?

I tried asking for a higher salary. We are understaffed so my work is good for 2-3 employees. I haven't tried negotiating for a paid time off.

I haven't tried it myself yet. I think there's a very slim chance though. That's how vet clinics usually work.

I admit it’s giving me horrible anxiety that she won’t respond at all until I locate her because even I’m learning where things are and want her to be safe. This is the third time 😭
