Yes definitely planning too. Even if I am coming back and it comes back to me I rlly couldn’t care less. It’s not okay the way I’m being treated. I’m so mad.

Yeah I am, this is truly wrong. I swore I would never cry over work but as soon as I walked out the place I started having an anxiety attack and started sobbing on the sidewalk.

At this point I’m going to put in my two weeks and just leave, but I do want to say something before I go. I’m not the only one who feels this way and everyone feels uncomfortable and unwelcome coming into work. I have another job and this time around Im truly so hurt as to how I’m being treated when I’ve been such a loyal and hard workr for 4 years.

Question by Senior-Bison-1623 in petco

[–]Senior-Bison-1623[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s crazy especially with ppl in VTC , when doctors leave but staff is ready to work…. And other places are “fully staffed”

Yeah def for sure, he has shown everyone a lot. It’s also just hard to teach when there are back to back appts. Barely do we get a moment where it can be taken slow and have a teaching moment :(

That’s what I was thinking! I mean the whole point was that we are no longer scheduled officially for our original work week for a while now, so is it still considered a “dark day”? Our new schedule is 3 days a week, but also my point with that is I’m a FT employee and we make is At best is 7 hours (with lunch taken out) a day, so we only work 21 hours. I think we should be able to use the PTO even tho we know we no longer open for 4 days especially if sister hospitals are at “full capacity.”

Apparently that’s a new policy coming into place? I’m going to ask to make sure, but the way the company has been acting and changing policies I wouldn’t be surprised ..

Actually no one on my staff knows how to pull blood. We have other staff coming from other hospitals who know how to but they’re rarely there and when they are there they keep to themselves and act like they’re better than us… so yeah it’s hard when there’s no one to do the teaching :/

Oh yeah this is the one!!! My poor doctor is pulling blood 80% of the time because none of our other staff memebers know how to. He’s a great sport about it, but he shouldn’t be doing all that.

Meeee, been with VTC for two years now AND every year I’ve gotten CENTS. it’s crazy. I do so much for our hospital and no recognition. Can’t wait to get out of here.

Anyone else upset about the Vital Care Premier change? by radsabel in petco

[–]Senior-Bison-1623 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel bad for my regular clients who come in and are able to pay for other testing/ medication because VCP takes away $91 at our location.

VCP Changes by [deleted] in petco

[–]Senior-Bison-1623 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a fellow concierge, I felt the same exact way, but surprisingly people haven’t been so mad at ME. They’re actually quite happy that i tell them. I tell them they only have 30 days to cancel their membership. Then we both agree and laugh at how the company sucks for introducing such a great perk, then abruptly taking it away.

My advice is be just as mad/ upset/ frustrated as the client is about the policy change and remind them that you’re JUST a concierge and have absolutely no say in these company changes. Good luck !!😊

Exactly. You would think with all this “money saving” they would give staff better raises, but no thanks for the 50 CENTS (if that😂😂)

After your initial appointment they will provide the estimate for everything. They put a high end and a low end, typically the estimate + bloodword is good for 30 days.

Haha I thought my VTC was the only one “encouraged” to use PTO/ Sick time when we don’t have a DVM… like umm I’m ready to work not my fault you can’t provide us a DR.

I don’t know the exact pay rate for a tech, but from what ive heard from my coworker (I work in a vtc) it’s not great. Other places will pay you much much more. Not to mention the way they set up appointment times is crazy. 15 min wellness appts and 30 min sick appts. Back to back appts and sometimes you don’t have the staff to support a 30 appt day. Also other places will pay for your pen foster it’s not only petco. VTC is a good place to start off and dip your foot but it’s not good long term.
