Anyone else sick to death of corporate? It’s honestly sucking the soul out of me. Most practices in my area now are taken by the same corporate company. I understand that this is a business and we need to make profit etc but it’s starting to feel like we’re all just a bloody statistic.
We’re a branch practice and constantly being told our figures are better than ever, but then also have all our staff cut down constantly due to not being ‘busy’ enough to warrant extra staff! (I feel our ever increasing prices are to blame for the dwindling diary tbh)
If it wasn’t for my lovely team members I’d have quit by now. Just so disheartening, the constant abuse from clients about cost / always feeling like a second thought to management due to being a branch practice and everything always seems to have to benefit the main branch!
It’s taking away all/any incentive to try and promote/grow the branch when it’s clear they aren’t bothered to give us the staff to enable us to do a good job
f*ck corporate man it really sucks sometimes
True but I do bill overtime in 15 minute increments, usually keeps me from staying late at least.
On average, 16 appts a day, not terrible for an 8 hour schedule, usually 30 minute appointments unless we need to sneak in a drop off, which has been happening a lot more lately

I’m seeing it as a relief vet too at my one corporate practice. I’ve been working there so much I’m essentially a part time associate and integral to their practice. It was over a year since increased my daily rate and in the meantime they shortened my lunch, overbook appointments and essentially my time to sit down for a minute went down to zero. Which is fine, I’m paid to work and not sit around, but then when I got push back from them about a measly 5% increase (which is still below market for my area) it left a really bad taste. So fine, I’m looking for other regular clinics now closer to home and I’ll charge them closer to market rates. Enjoy the decline in income. A lot of these corporations really don’t see the forest for the trees.
