writes:So this is not exactly relationship related but work related.I work in a Veterinary Hospital as a Veterinary Assistant/technician, I've been with the company for 8 months now. So when I first started I was given basic duties that they allowed me to do, I wasn't quite comfortable vaccinating animals and wanted to get animal restraint down first and foremost so I told the other technicians that I wasn't comfortable yet vaccinating and they were okay with that. So along with my basic duties one task was to give surgery patients an anti-inflammatory medication before surgery. I relied on a technician dosage for one patient and it ended up being a wrong dosage (too much for the animals weight) I got that task taken away from me because the technician didn't admit to giving me the wrong dosage and it was just stated I gave the wrong dose. Anyway when I was there 3 months we had a new girl start and from the get go she was being allowed to do things that I wasn't and being trained on things that I was not. She was getting the go ahead on everything and I was being held back in my opinion. So from the get go I felt like I was in constant competition with her on fighting to do "tech things". I was pushed more to the assistant stuff, example cleaning, doing the laundry and scrubbing the surgical instruments while she was being trained on the more tech things. I found her annoying and she was messing up and nothing was being taken from her like it was with me. Shortly before she started I was allowed to tech rooms by myself (which just means gather information for the Veterinarian) this duty was given to me about a month and a half after I started by the senior technician and a second Veterinarian while our primary Veterinarian was on vacation. So when the primary Veterinarian got back and heard I was teching rooms he said no that I wasn't allowed to do that by myself and I needed someone with me.I had to prove myself to be able to give vaccines, I had approached my lead when the new girl was starting saying how I felt I was ready to start administering vaccines and she spoke with the veterinarian and he said no again that I needed to be able to tell him all about the vaccines and why we give them before he'd allow me to vaccinate. So I researched and learned the information (which the girl who started 6 months before me didn't even know about some vaccines) but then I got the okay to give vaccines and shortly after I got the okay the new girl was being allowed by the technicians to give vaccines and she still cannot tell you much about the vaccines but she has mixed vaccines when drawing then up in a syringe and messed up and nothing has been done about that.I finally got the go ahead on teching rooms by myself in March but so did the new girl without having to prove anything.I had gone to my office manager and practice manager since I started with issues I was having and nothing every got addressed. I was having issues with a couple times a technician would ask me to do something and the new girl would jump in and do it (one instance she walked around me and was like I got it), I spoke with two people about that issue and they told me to talk to the new girl about it so I did the next day. Her excuse was that she thought she heard both of our names instead of just mine and apologized and stated all she is trying to do is be better than she was the day before and she didnt do drama. That happened on a Friday, Tuesday of the next week I got pulled in to a meeting with that girl and our practice manager because the new girl was having an issue with me (and stating I had an "attitude towards her). She stated how she felt I was competing with her and how she gets along with everyone else but me. I brought up my issues again of when I'm going to do something and she went around me and did it and her response in that meeting was "so you're mad I get there first?"That meeting felt all directed at me and like it didn't matter how I was feeling. I didn't understand how I could be giving her attitude when I hardly even spoke to her because I was there to help the veterinarian and technicians and that's what I did.Anyway so our main veterinarian left towards the end of May. And since then I've spoke to the girl more but not about anything significant. I feel she's two faced and I don't trust her or like her. I also have a hard time with knowing that since she started working there she constantly gets high before work and on her lunch break and then during work too. I know this is so long and a rant but I'm trying to figure out the best way to be able to work with her even though I don't like her.
