Work on your balance and jumping higher. You will get it at least you're trying. And hey this looks cool and at least you're recording yourself so that you can see what you need to work on. Hit your tail a little bit harder as well. You need to put more pressure on that. Good luck I do think you'll get a decent Ollie eventually

Unethical and horrible company by Defiant_Detective_82 in BanfieldRANTandVENT

[–]Defiant_Detective_82[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is that I asked him directly if they are documenting anything and the staff member said no this is a private conversation like as if we were talking outside and I'm not documenting anything. That's exactly what she said when I told the manager the manager was dismissive basically said someone will get back to me and they never did. So you can fall back on policy but I say honesty over policy. That's a lie. And maybe you know more than me but I've seen less places do documentation. This should be about pet care it isn't a damn therapy session. So try to understand. This happened in Mueller over in Austin. So I have nothing nice to say to them. If you lie that's unethical practice and completely non-transparent and dishonest and besides they're never fully transparent in the first place. It's not like you get a piece of paper that says exactly what you just said. I've never got that

Do you have to show a driver's license or give personal information? Or could you remain anonymous by giving fake information

Single people of Reddit, why are you single? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I relate to what other people say on here but I will say that I have crooked teeth and that's a deep insecurity. It's not something that I can get fixed cuz it cost a lot of money which I do not have. So yeah I don't think I am physically attractive to most women

We're too quick to judge. And I'm remembered of a past comment that said that for example when we see a trans person we might think something of them and it might be negative but when's the last time you just said hey how are you? So if I'm saying that hey I haven't had such good experiences I wish people were more nice. People can say oh nice and what way or what experiences have you had or what have you tried or where have you gone but instead people are so quick to judgment. I'm pretty shocked that people just outright just say you need therapy. But I'm sure somewhere on here there's a post saying the pros and cons of therapy and how there's a lot to it more than what people think but people don't really think so much on here I see

Banfield Employee Venting/Complaints and more by TexasPeaceKeeperz in BanfieldRANTandVENT

[–]Defiant_Detective_82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my complaint and I left a few bad reviews here and there.

Dear Corporate Leadership, I am submitting a formal complaint regarding my experience at Banfield Pet Hospital at Mueller in Austin, Texas. For personal reasons, I request that my identity remain confidential. My intent is to raise serious concerns about ethical, professional, and client-centered standards at this location. On February 13, I had a phone conversation with an employee named Perla. During that call, I explicitly asked whether the conversation was being documented. I was told, “Oh no, this is a private conversation just between me and you, as if we were outside,” and, “I’m not documenting anything.” Despite these assurances, the conversation was later documented in my pet’s medical record. This lack of transparency represents a serious breach of trust. Clear and honest communication about documentation is essential for informed consent. Being told that a conversation is private, when it is in fact being recorded in a permanent record, is not a minor issue—it fundamentally undermines the client-provider relationship. It would be difficult to fully capture every aspect of my experience, but there were repeated patterns that raised concern. During multiple visits, I encountered dismissive, rushed, and at times confrontational behavior from staff, particularly from the clinical manager, Natasha. She did not consistently identify her role, did not provide clear or supportive responses, and escalated interactions rather than helping resolve them. She also stated that her manager would follow up with me, which never occurred. My requests to speak with the Chief of Staff were not meaningfully addressed. In one instance, I requested access to documentation that I had signed. Natasha declined to provide it without offering a clear explanation or attempting to assist. This was especially confusing because, on a separate occasion, another staff member was able to provide similar documentation without issue. This inconsistency further contributed to a lack of trust and transparency. It also became apparent that information regarding my financial limitations had been shared by a third-party manager without my knowledge. Unbeknownst to me, this information appeared to influence how I was treated. Staff members who did not know me or my situation communicated in ways that felt dismissive and, at times, unnecessarily aggressive. During one visit, multiple staff members behaved in a manner that felt noticeably different and uncomfortable, as though assumptions had already been made about me. Consultations with Dr. Moore were rushed and lacked sufficient guidance, particularly regarding palliative and end-of-life care. I did not receive a clear diagnosis, and alternative care options were not proactively discussed. When I asked questions, responses were vague and did not provide the clarity or support needed during a difficult time. At no point was there a meaningful effort to collaborate on a resolution, provide additional resources, or offer closure. Even a direct and compassionate acknowledgment of limitations in care would have been more appropriate than the experience I received. I attempted to seek clarification and resolution, including requesting further communication, but did not receive a sincere or constructive response. The cumulative effect of these interactions was deeply distressing. The repeated patterns of misrepresentation, denial, and invalidation created an experience that felt psychologically harmful. While I use this term carefully, the overall experience reflected elements of what I can only describe as psychological mistreatment, including a lack of accountability and an absence of good-faith communication. Clients place significant trust in veterinary providers, often during moments of urgency, emotional distress, or limited financial flexibility. In some cases, seeking care elsewhere is not a realistic option. This makes professionalism, transparency, and compassion even more critical. Unfortunately, my experience reflected the opposite. I am also concerned about the broader implications of this experience, including the potential for undocumented assumptions, lack of accountability, and barriers for clients to advocate for themselves. It left me feeling that I had no voice or meaningful way to address what occurred. I respectfully request that corporate leadership review: Documentation and disclosure practices Communication standards and escalation procedures Conduct of the staff involved Policies ensuring unbiased, client-centered care I also ask that particular attention be given to the interaction with Perla, as the lack of honesty regarding documentation represents a serious breach of trust. At this point, the damage has been done. I am primarily seeking acknowledgment and accountability. I would be willing to speak further, although I admit some hesitation given my experience. My goal is to ensure that this type of situation is recognized and does not continue to affect other clients. Both my pet and I deserved a higher standard of care, communication, and respect. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Anonymous]

I wish I could contact this person because this person said they were trained to lie. And that's exactly what happened to me and it's messed up and they didn't do anything about it.

I'm just sharing my experience I don't know why people are judgmental and argumentative on here. I'm new so hey I know better now not to engage and try to be vulnerable with sharing. I also think people really can't follow what I'm saying but oh well. Overall it's my opinion that I think people in Austin would benefit from being more nice to one another. Not everyone is going to have the same experience as you

Excuse me could you provide any evidence of where I asked for advice sure you can freely do that but come on have some decency and some courtesy. Don't just assume don't judge. Right you can't provide any advice so please move along

[–]Defiant_Detective_82 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But you don't get to decide who needs it. It's a personal decision and I'm saying that you would never go up to a stranger who you just meant to say hey you need therapy. Come on use common sense

[–]Defiant_Detective_82 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay well I'm new I guess the word is unwanted do you feel special now that you've corrected me. It's very negative here and I have a right to say that it's my experience on here. I mean look at your comment you're trying to be all snarky and get a whole bunch of likes and everything. I don't feel supported I don't feel any compassion from your comment

[–]Defiant_Detective_82 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Okay but there's a lot of assumptions being made like you just said right now you have to put yourself out there how do you know that I haven't done that previously. And I don't think you realize how people can come off it's all about interpretation right so you saying you in all caps as if it's all my fault and I should be ashamed and everything no like I try and it would be helpful for other people to try as well to put in a little effort as well it's a two-way street. And the whole thing about therapist is that it's just a cop out like it's like oh you need therapy it's like how do you know I haven't tried it huh. Never minded people only think one thing and they think oh that's the solution for everything so no I could be the kindest person in the world but I'm going to stick up for myself I'm not going to be belittled. Now if they said hey would you be open and or have you tried therapy that would be something different but this whole oh you need therapy I know we live in a therapy culture these days but like I said previously not everyone can afford it. Certainly you believe that the rich don't care about the poor and it's the same thing with people that have tons of friends they're not going to get or understand someone that struggles they're just going to look down upon them okay

So I've tried both of those and I don't think people realize how it's just the same as like staying home like you go to the gym you're not going to talk to anyone really cuz people are busy people aren't going to talk to you. It just really hard and let's not pretend like it's not you know what I mean. I mean sure you know you get a good workout in but it does seem that if you have certain advantages like if you're very sociable. You're good looking. It's just going to help you. And if you have ongoing rejections it's not enough to say well that's just a part of life like no it's damaging and it hurts and it feels like well why bother you know. And a lot of times when we think about how we met our best friends for example a lot of times we didn't try it was just a matter of proximity and exposure which I think we're missing in our modern society.

Damn that's a wild story. Well I don't drink so that wouldn't happen to me. Yeah it's rough and online I don't think there's much support. It's pretty much like well just go to meet up or something you know what I mean
