I apologize for the long rant but I’m drowning at work.
Working spring break has been a nightmare. We are super understaffed and our owner, who is a retired vet, doesn’t want to hire any new people because a client told her it seems like we have a high turnover rate. We have 130+ dogs between our two buildings, one person has about 60-70 dogs, because we are short staffed in addition to our cleaning list we have to get done daily. Plus she wants to keep daycare open, because “it’s nice to have extra money in the bank” so that’s another 40-50 dogs. We have had four workers have mini panic attacks/ break downs and the others are just barely hanging on/ready to quit. My old knee and hip injury has my whole left side swollen
and I’m getting major burn out, haven’t had a day off in 8 days, the clients are overly rude because we are over booked for spring break. I think the only thing keeping me going is the 12 days I’m taking off in two weeks and the fact that I can’t quit a job without finding another one.
I really like my co-workers but the amount of pain my body is in has me ready to jump ship
