More work bullshoot . . .
My bosses father passed away on Friday so boss is gone to Missouri for the funeral. I'm hoping he will stay there until after Christmas . . . he hasn't been home for a year and really needs some time with his family.
In the meantime, I'm stuck in the office managing our awesome staff.
Tech 1 and 2 are dating. Tech 2 took in an injured crow from someone who brought it in. Tech 2 knows we do not take in wildlife (issues with communicable diseases) and took the crow to the back cages and hid it. Tech 1 helped her by looking at the crow and playing doctor. Both techs took xrays of the crow and used hospital medication and supplies to treat it.
I found out today when I realized that these two had not entered the crow into our system or paid for anything. While I don't mind helping out, this has really gotten me fired up. It is illegal to perform any veterinary services when not under the direct supervision of an actual vet. Our DVM had no idea the crow was even in the building. They also didn't properly document the care and treatment of the crow, which is just as bad. On top of that, they put the crows xray information into the digital system under a false name. These two knowingly broke rules and laws with every intention of not following the proper channels.
I spoke with Tech 1 who said he didn't know that our DVM was unaware of the crows existence, let alone what was done for him. However, our DVM NEVER leaves the office when we are open . . . . so whats the freaking excuse? Plus, Tech 1 is supposed to be our supervisor on shift. If he can't supervise properly and willingly engages in this type of behavior . . . well . . . he can find another job asap.
Tech 2 said it wasn't the doctors "business" that she took the crow in or performed medical services without permission. Whatever. She went home in a tizzy.
If either of these two gives me crap tomorrow I'm going to lay them off . . . I'm tired of dealing with their bs.
Ugh.
Re: More work bullshoot . . .
Ditto- wow! That def sounds like suspension or something of the sort AND monies owed to the business! WOW! Under a wrong name, etc, AND A SUPERVISOR!?
No way... Good luck w that and lots of support to you!
Yikes! My 2 cents = they broke rules and laws, thus their a$$es are fired. And I would document the h*ll out of it so they can't file for unemployment.
I'd like to give this post a hells yes. I'm sure there are less dramatic and more trustworthy vet techs who would love a job right now.
This is a licensing and insurance liability and they should be fired.
Breaking laws, falsifying documentation, using equipment and stealing/dispensing medication without consent, jeopardizing the health of other patients, intentional deception...
I am so not kidding around. They should be fired. Easy-peasy.
This.
