Perhaps there’s never been a time when more veterinary professionals changed jobs than during the past 18 months. Many colleagues are finding increased salaries, better benefits, and interesting opportunities. But what happens when your new job turns out to have many of the old problems you were getting away from? Viewfinders, let’s talk about that and a whole lot more concerning switching employers.

Hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT begin with a recent conversation Dr. Ward had with a young veterinarian who recently changed jobs. Despite an awesome signing bonus and generous salary bump, after a few months at the new clinic, she confided she wasn’t as happy as she’d hoped. What went wrong? Listen to find out!

Our pair discuss what to look for when thinking about changing jobs, how to self-evaluate what’s really wrong in your workplace, and why it’s essential for each of us to self-reflect on why we love this profession in order to find the best workplace. Oh, and why any job isn’t necessarily going to provide you with purpose, fulfillment and meaning in your life. As always, there’s a lot to unpack in this podcast!

The duo also discuss establishing realistic expectations for veterinary professionals when dealing with the pet-owning public, relationships with coworkers, and treatment from managers and bosses. There’s so much to talk about this week!

Please join in wishing Beckie a Happy Birthday this week! All she asks for is a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/VetView
