Hi,

I work for a vet in my area. The problem is this My co worker who has been around longer then I have and has a very close relationship with the vet is incompatent to a dangerour degree. I have put up with this for 2 years but now it has cost our clinic the life of a pet because she wasn't doing her job. I have been blamed for this but luckly I have witness's to the incident. She not only makes my job difficult she is also very mean and vendictive. Our boss believes just about everything she says and what he does see he ignores. Our staff is very small 5 people. And it is very hard to stay out of her way. I don't know what to do about this, I love and need my job any suggestions?

The best thing you can do in this situation is start looking for another job. I have a friend who went through a similar experience. She finally quit after the incompetent employee accused her of stealing on two different occasions. She was vindicated the first time. A corporate accountant discovered it was the other employees mistake (or plan to get rid of my friend). Two months after she quit, her former boss called and apologized for not believing her. He also told her that he cleaned house and the problem employees were no longer there.

Have to agree with the comments above. The truth will come out, in time, but you may find that your life is made miserable until then.

I agree too. Why would you want to work for someone that allows that to go on in his practice anyway? Approach you boss with the facts from a professional, not personal, standpoint, and if nothing changes, go somewhere else. Just make sure your boss knows exactly why you are leaving.

Ditto....you never really NEED any job especially if it causes you such angst. The money just ain't worth it..perhaps bide your time but make plans...My own personal experiences in life have taught me that in all cases where my heart has left, by butt was sure to shortly follow!

bangalee, I don't think you giving up your job is the answer. If you know this person is an incompetent , dangerous person, then document proof, and record it if you can. Your boss can't argue with proof. You say you love your job. Why let this ignoramus drive you away, not only at the expense of pets lives, but at your expense too?
Just my opinion, as a stubborn Scorpio.

i would have to agree with pen2, if u love your job yo should try to keep it and figure out a way to make the boss realize whats going on, if people were to find out about this it would ruin his rep as a vet.

Hey it's not being stubborn, it's being "tenacious"!

Yes, try to solve the problem first, but if the boss-man won't listen, you need to move on. Lay it all out to your boss and see what he does. Just remember your presentation of the situation is key. DO NOT make it personal. Approach it from a professional standpoint.

It sounds like you would have a legal case there. Discrimination for the other woman. Do you know if she and the boss have any relationship? You'd definitely have a suit then. Worker's comp. Get a lawyer.

hey everyone,

Thanks for the advise I failed to mention that the doctor and tech are in a relationship. They try to keep it from everyone because he is married and he may be the father to her baby. Also she takes pain medication and has even asked me if I could give her some...I know she has asked all the other co-workers this also. Recently we have had clients walk out and state that they would not be back because of her erratic behavior. I have told the doctor this and he still keeps her on. My other co workers plan to confront the doctor about this sometime this week. I guess I could look on the bright side at least I am not alone in this and I qualify for unemployment if I get fired because of this...anyway thanks for listening.

I hate to sound judgemental, but it sounds like he screwed himself. I wouldn't want to work with people like that. She has him over a barrel and it sounds like he couldn't fire her if he wanted to. His rep is on thin ice and I wouldn't want to be associated with his practice when all this comes out, would you?

Would this qualify as harassment? They have obviously created a hostile working environment for you and your co-workers. Stick with your other co-workers. Go with them to address your concerns with the boss. If things don't straighten up PDQ, you may want to check into getting a lawyer. Get with your co-workers, document events, write down dates, collect any facts or evidence you have to cover your butts. If you do get fired over it you have a heckuva lawsuit. Boss-man has put himself in quite a precarious situation and once all this hits the fan his practice will most likely go under. Start looking for another job NOW! Make sure you have something to fall back on.
