More work drama . . .
Its impossible to get into it all here, but going back to work has just not been worthwhile since having Bebe.
I was promoted to Practice Manager in order to get the hospital ready for hiring a second doctor, our owner going home to Missouri every other month, and a few other things. Its been a nightmare.
Our office is divided and its only getting worse. The ringleader is the DVM. He is miserable and dragging everyone down with him. He can't afford to hire someone to work the practice full time for him, his family is 2000 miles away, he has put himself in a bad spot and blames everyone. Rather than take action to make sure this doesn't happen again, he just rants and raves constantly.
Our technicians are our weakest spot as far as hospital performance. Before I went back to work the DVM and I talked about how much they would resent me and be unhappy with being accountable to someone for their actions. I was right. The DVM caved in to their whining within 2 weeks and ever since its been a nightmare. The techs constantly screw up, but when they do its always someone elses fault, etc. Even our Lead Tech . . . he's the worst one!
I've decided to put in my notice and tried to do so last week, but the DVM was in such a snit that he was impossible to even get 5 minutes with. It all came down to the techs not showing up for work on time Monday. All of them. One of our four techs took that day off as a vacation day. I had confirmed with the other techs last month when I made the schedule that they could cover. I made the schedule. They apparently need their hands held because none of the three other techs showed up on time. Turns out no one remembered the other was off, nor did any of them even look at their schedules. They all told the DVM that I never put it on the schedule or talked to them about it.
I'm not going to baby them. The DVM didn't have the decency to talk to me, he started talking about me to the techs instead. The girls in the front office have both been there for over 10 years and are leaving now because of similar situations. The DVM plays one side against the other when he shouldn't be getting involved in the first place. Its exhausting.
So I'm leaving. The DVM will never change. His practice will continue to do just enough to get by, and even though he asked for change that is apparently all he is capable of. I come home every day frustrated and tired of dealing with adults who behave like children. If I'm going to deal with babies all day at work I would rather stay home and deal with one super cute one.
Ugh. DVM is out of town for the week at a convention, so I can't turn in my notice to him until next Monday. I'm so pissed about that! I wanted to be done and over with all of this by next week!
Re: More work drama . . .
Woah
F him
Email him your notice! Dont spend a nother week there that isnt neccesary!
I'd love to . . . but he doesn't email.
then fedex it to him at the convention! LOL!
you are almost out of there! hang tight!
Wow... Completely agree w PP!
Can you call him and let him know you will meet with him upon his arrival back to the office. Have it set up prior to his return... And/Or if you have access to his calendar-set up an appt with HIM.
Congrats for seeing you are worth better treatment than that!
Ooo, I like this.
I like Wendi's plan!
Sorry you're going through this. Will you look for work elsewhere or is this the chance to be a SAHM?
This. And, I also like Code's idea about reporting all the sh!t that's been going on there. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. You're definitely making the best decision by leaving!
