Whenever I find myself confronted with these kinds of situations (even guilt trip small stuff), I ask myself, "Well, I'm the one who has to live with myself. Is doing whatever it is so important to me that I compromise my morals? Is it worth it, in the long run?"
Thats the thing, I can see it from both sides. I can see myself being unable to live with it, but at the same time, I can't see myself living with it.
I may be exaggerating, but my mind keeps boiling it down to my job versus my morals. I know that I did nothing wrong, in fact, I did all the right things in terms of trying to save the animal in the doctor's absence. Its just that what he did was wrong, and he doesn't seem to care. He hasn't learned from his mistake because he continues to try and repeat it. The part that sickens me is that there is no recourse for his poor choices. Nobody knows it except me, my coworkers, and the clinic manager. Maybe thats why I feel so compelled to do something.
I can live with it in that I did nothing wrong, but I can't live with him having no consequences or remorse for what he did.
Julia, that's HORRIBLE that the doctor is a jerkface! I think you should definitely look for something to replace that part of your income, no amount of money is worth the suffering of a crummy situation that keeps happening! plus knowing how much you love what you do, I'd hate to see it turn into a source of angst and pain through the hands of this guy, whatever he did. So i have to vote for standing up for what you believe in. I'd think with your experience and dedication, you should be able to get another job that you'll love. Good luck.
