Work vent-Long
So this will prob. sound confusing. Back at the beginning of April my boss came to me and pretty much told me he was afraid I was going to get hurt at work and really wanted me to try and go on leave early. I am a vet Tech and so he was worried about me handling the animals and being around the dogs. I pretty much ignored him, told him my doctor saw no reason for me to go on leave and left it at that. I did decrease my hours a little bit to shut him up.
So I was planning on making this week my last week of work because there is really nothing for me to do there and I stand around all day and feel like he is staring at me wishing I was not there. So I went in on Tuesday and we were so slow that I left at 12 because we have 4 other techs so there are 5 of us all together in a 2 doctor practice which is way too many. Then on Wed there were only 2 app in the am so the head tech told me not to come in because they were so slow. (Then she told my boss that I was not in because i was swollen and in pain) So today i decided to call my boss and I said I can eithier finish out the week or be done now. I am just soo sick of him making comments about there being nothing for me to do there and blah blah blah. So he said well I really don't want to see you get hurt and were not that busy. SO I said ok I will not be in today and I have a doc appointment today so i will see if she will sign the paperwork for me today. SO then My good friend sends me a text that said Dr. Rothman ( my boss) Just asked me if you were coming in today???? WHAT? I

That is beyond frustrating. I am a vet tech to and have had a long and hard pregnancy so far. I haved my best to not allow it to effect my work.... i.e throwing up for 12 weeks in various garbage cans, still staying late for emergency sx even tho I wanted to cry and pass out at the same time from pain and exhaustion, lifting and wrestling dogs I know I shouldnt be. I was hospitalized twice for various things and have been having contractions since 25 weeks.
Last week my OB put me on a restricted schedule, I gave my boss this news on monday... I normally have tuesday offf. Get a call tuesday night saying dont come in tomorrow we are overstaffed and under booked, great no big deal. I work thursday, the one who handles scheduling says that her and my boss havent figured out a solution for my "situation" yet. Told to come in 10-6 friday to "accomidate" my restricted schedule (doc said only 7 hour days, do math much?). At 4 o'clock on friday the wench, i mean my boss, calls me into her office says we dont offer 7 hour shifts and doesnt want to set that kind of president for anyone who gets pregnant in the future and my materinty leave starts the next day. I got up and left.
I am sick over how much effort I put into that job and nothing. I love what I do but will NOT be going back to that hell hole. Im sorry, it sounds like you are getting the run around to. I hate being home but at least I dont have to get dirty looks from my boss anymore!
Ha! Sounds just like our head tech! I have no idea why our head tech is a technician. She is soo cold and I really don't think she likes animals!!
GL to you tooo!!!!!!
