My Mom got fired from her job....
Holy smokes I am livid about this. My Mom worked at a vet hospital for over 9 years. This past week she witnessed a vet choked a dog until it passed out....well she reported it to the practice manager. Guess what at the end of the week they told her they felt she was trying to cause trouble for the business and fired her!!!!!
We are filing paperwork with the labor board for the whistle blower protection act (whatever its called). Around here it seems like the rich always prevail, but if nothing else it will be one hell of a pain in their asses!!!
This place tried to get me to work for them a couple years ago. The couple that owns it, well the wife anyway is a crazy B, very unprofessional and treats her employees like crap. Well she wanted to know why I wouldn't work there and I let her know just what I thought....wouldn't take my furbabies there either!!!

WTF! He choked a dog?!? He's in the wrong profession! This idiot needs to be in a profession where he won't come in contact with living things. And definitely needs to be reported to someone outside the office! (of course you can't prove anything and everyone else in the office will stand behind the vet.)
On one hand your mom is better off not working for these folks but given the economic climate these days and the shortage of jobs, I am so sorry that she got fired...and for doing the right thing.

This is exactly why she really cannot go to the paper or tv...none of the other witnesses will stand behind her. I have thought that these people were JERKS for a long time. Also she wants to be careful about any negative attention around her because she is examining the option of going into business for herself... She did let the owners of the animal know, so if they want to pursue anything that is their option.
Thanks for letting me vent. I do believe that even though this will be hard given the economic situation and her age.....in the long run I think we will find this is a blessing in disguise!

I understand what you are saying, however since there in no proof and none of the other witnesses are willing to back her up she could be sued for slander! They have the money to sue her and they are just the type to do it. She is telling everyone she was fired and when they ask why she is being honest.....but you cannot go to the tv or newspaper with something like that without proof.

Can she file a complaint with the vet board? They must have a place that oversees them like medical doctors do. He must do this with other dogs or at least not treat them very well. The jerk. He needs to find another career.

If your Mom isn't aware of this it could help her. The former employer cannot disclose why she was let go or even if she was fired or quit - Federal law. They can give her dates of employment and if they would rehire her and that is about all they can say to someone asking about her former employment. If your Mom does have a hard time finding a job it might be a good idea to have someone call the vet's office acting like a future employer and see what they say about her. That would make their life a little rougher.
I would think that a call to animal control might be worth looking into.
