I don't think OP let any mistreatment happen. Simply picked up where she was lacking making sure the animals were well taken care, and the kennel lead was also in charge of making sure she was doing her job right.
Yeah that what sounds like to me and if you're not entirely focussed on something you don't see all of it so I don't think he seen a good it from not perposely watching her
My sister in law boarded her 2 cats that also had a vets. She left instructions that they were to be kept apart at feeding time as one would eat all the food. 2 weeks later she picked up her cats, brought out in their carriers. When she got home the timid one was skin and bone. She did not last long after this.2 weeks roughly. The other cat missed his sister and followed within 6 months.
Boss: Next time the suicide queen comes in, tell her to do it right next time. Me: Why don't you tell her? Hell, why not give her a practical demonstration? Show her what it should look like or whatever. Just... make sure you do it right.
For the second story, OP gave KL and KA the chance to own up so many times, I don't blame them for taking it further for those two's incompetence at the job. Too bad those attacking OP forgot that he/she mentioned that.
That story about Larry talking to the girl and just checking on her made me cry. I really hope this story doesn't involve Larry winding up leaving the store.
The last story,I have an opinion, OP didn't tell on her because he knew about her kids and it was things that could be chalked up to a bad day or stress. He was able to take care of it easily enough so it wasn't a big problem. He was pushed past the line when he saw the long term of what KA did when he saw his cat after only 6 days. If that's how the animal would be after only a week then she's worse off than he thought and it was then handled properly.
OP in the second story wasn't in the wrong. Who is in the wrong are the people who is yelling at him for it. Let be honest here most pet owners not only going to the manager but to the police as well.
Agreed, when you have a kennel assistant and lead, they take care of the kennel area, rarely anyone else goes back there unless it's to collect the animals. So even if the animals were being neglected, they weren't in the operation prep kennels. So no one saw them.
@@thelittleone5757, IKR? I mean seriously, do those people really think that if the OP knew about the mistreatment beforehand, that they'd still leave their beloved animal there? That just makes no sense whatsoever!!!
OP wasn’t the bad guy in the story. When he would find something wrong that KA had done OP stated that he would go and fix it. Then when KA neglected OPs cat he had decided enough was enough and that she couldn’t be allowed to do this any longer.
DarkFluff: I hope you're having wonderful day! My sister, freaking out in the other room: *screams like a baby goat* That's gonna be no on this end, good sir.
Tim was so full of hate. Things worked out great the day the big guys got there. I'm surprised he didn't lose his job and more surprised that he was still working as assistant manager years later.
I agree with OP. You don’t mess with my cats either. That KA was given plenty of chances to improve her work performance. Also the KL should be the one to get after her for her bad job. NOPE, OP was right!
To be *sort of* fair to the cat owner, it is very easy to fall into the "It's not my problem until it affects me" trap. There are a lot of people who are like that, and it certainly does suck. However, one cannot say that they literally did nothing about it until just then. They did say that they told the lead about it when they noticed it, and someone who was fully into the aforementioned trap might not have ever even told the kennel lead about it in the first place. The lead said they were working on it, and the poster thought that would be it. As easy as it is to fall into the aforementioned trap, it's also easy to fall into the, "They said they're working on it, so it should be fine," trap. Overall, I can't say the hate on that poster is *as* warranted as everyone's making it out to be. They *did* make some prior attempt. That is better than if they would have never attempted at all until it came to their cat.
The OP in the second story was totally in the right, if that was how she treated a co-workers pet, who knows how she's treating the others. And if someone was mistreating a beloved pet to the point of abuse you would do whatever it takes to get revenge on your pets behalf.
Revenge? I'd break bones. I fired buckshot at someone that kicked my dog. If you even THINK of harming my pets, you are already showing suicidal tendencies.
I think Cat OP was definitely in the right. Also, it sounds like this was the first time that she just outright abused an animal in the clinic (to this point) because OP wasn't there to fix every little mistake. And I would totally go scorched earth for my cat. My sister was taking care of my cat for a week and a half while I was away for the holidays. I knew that she wouldn't go down and play with her, because she was allergic, but my kitty was old and slept most of the day anyway. Sis went down to feed her and scoop the litterbox. I had set a container of food next to the food bowls so that Sis didn't have to trek all the way to the storage room to get food out of the big container, but she ran out of the small container the day before I got back. When I got home and saw the empty bowl, I asked Sis how long they'd been empty, and she said "oh, since yesterday." I asked "Why didn't you call me to find out where more was?" "Well, I figured that you would be coming home today, so it didn't matter." I was absolutely flabbergasted. Now, I was living in her house rent-free, so I couldn't exactly do anything, but I was super pissed. In fact, two years later, and I am STILL super pissed whenever I think about it. If I had done that to her rats or her rabbit, it would have been the end of the freaking world. But my cat doesn't matter? *breathe* *breathe*
Sounds like the last OP never really got the chance to see how bad they were. Either op was always picking up after them so it never got that bad or just all the weight went on him. OP was definitely not the bad guy. He didn’t just do that for the sake of his own cat, else he would of just brought his cat somewhere else next time.
In the second story OP said that he thought KL was dealing with KA until he found out that he wasn't so that's why he took it seriously when it happened to his cat
We keep forgetting that vet clinic OP did bring up KA's poor performance with KL, and was told it would be addressed. But yes, OP was aware it was a chronic issue and should've brought it up sooner when it became evident that nothing actually ever improved.
thats what i think yes he should have tried a bit harder and sooner to bring it up to the big boss but on the other hand he did what he was supposed to do, he reported it to his direct boss, they just didnt do anything
He was assured that he was still bein trained to address the issue. How many stories here have we all condemned the Cowork who apoinnted the,seves the boss of peer at work? Noted he said he multiple profes of violating procedure not of neglect the onl instance of nectlect mentionon in the story was of OP's cash and the *speculation* if she willing to this to a coworkers animal what would she be will to do others. Also he belaived she was capbile of learning the job properly he stated multiple time it was the lying an not even will to admit there were a mistake the changed ther mind about her ability to become capable so he had aver reason to belve KL will be fixing the issue and he would be overstepping to do more
He could not have known how bad things really were and still bring in his cat that he loves to be cared for by them. Either he actually dislikes the cat, or he thought they still got the job done satisfactory in the end.
Honestly if op thought they were doing such a terrible job why would he entrust his cat to them??? Op's cat is obviously really important to him and how much he cared about his cat is pretty evident. The actions he took after he saw the quality of their care without someone picking up the slack is something everyone should do.
It was the kennel leads job to make sure she was following contract and doing her job. OP sounds like he had to go to the manager above hers and you need more proof most of the time or they well write these things off and just give a note with nothing changing. It sounded like she needed the whole thing to be removed from abusing more pets.
The way I saw the second story was that he reported her to her lead on numerous instances got told “it will be sorted” but never did so when he found his cat in that state he knew the lead would be useless as the lead also failed his job too so go to the manager
No he’s good. He documented everything and his boss was investigating it/her so he let it go. He never said he saw her abusing any animals. I’m very sure if he really knew she was abusing the animals he would never have left his cat in her care. She got what she deserved.
well i think its quite clear, OP stated that he saw things that were done wrong by her and he was correcting them for her. so no animals we're actually mistreated until OP went away for the holidays because he was not able to correct her mistakes.
OP was NOT in the wrong. You don’t treat beloved animals like that. Whether they someone else’s or your own. Hearing how she treated his cat made me think of how she treats her children
I believe the term you're looking for is _Schadenfreude;_ the pleasure derived from someone else's misfortune or deserved karmic retribution. This channel, and you, feed our sense of schadenfreude~
OP in that last story never once said the lady was mistreating OTHER pets before theirs- they just said she was shit at her job. the job involves a lot more than direct pet welfare. ALSO even if it did sometimes impact the animals, since the OP presumably likes and looks after pets well, and they said they and the manager were covering her mistakes till then, if she forgot to give a pet water or whatever they obviously took care of it themselves and manager was meant to be handling it so she'd get better or whatever.
That last story, I would have done the same! No one messes with my cat! Not even family, boyfriends or friends. You harm my cat, you’re harming me! I wish those horrible ppl got worse than just losing job/client base.
1st story, OP we can't blame staff for liking Larry or Tim because Larry knows how to enjoy and have fun at work, and the results are great sales and teamwork. Being serious is fine, but work should be fun and enjoyable too. 2nd story, OP your right, clients are gold because building a client base is hard work because it can take a long time even years to build a large Client base. That's why companies protect their client base with lawyers.
I dont get why the second story op is getting so much flak. He said in his story, he gripes but picks up after KA. He is doing something about it. Even at the end, he notes he does far better than both of them. Secondly, it's not like he said he was completely selfless. He said he has his boundaries and can let everything go if it didn't cross those boundaries. He knew her performance, and did what was required. It isn't his fault KL didn't do anything about KA and OP still picked up after KA. If he didn't do "a damn thing" like people mentioned. I don't think the business as a whole would've survived. Allow me to explain. If KA has such a large clientele of petsitting ("2-3 gigs a week..."), That, at least to me, tells me the kennel service itself is pretty large. People were still coming in. I can almost bet those 6 days OP left, there will be a few people who collected their pets and vowed never to return. That isn't OP's fault. He is innocent in my eyes K thanks for coming to my ted talk
OP said they picked up the slack for their lousy coworker all the time when she'd fuck up so I think maybe the people saying they let mistreatment slide until their cat was mistreated are mistaken
I thought the pet dude helped KA fix minor problems instead of covering up animal abuse because why else would he trust his cat to his co-workers if he knew how they were treated?
About the last one: she dug her own grave. Just because she have kids doesnt mean she can do shitty stuff and still get away with them because "she needs the money for her kids".
I don't particularly like cats but I certainly understand the love of a pet owner because I adore dogs and horses. I would NEVER hurt a cat. Many of my friends have them and I pet them. I just don't Want one. (Big Difference) So I agree! ANYONE that would hurt ANY animal is on my list! What were these people doing in pet care if their love of animals was so minimalistic?!?
To me, it seems like that guy obly knew a couple of things prior to this all and once his own cat was left in horrible condition, he started digging and found the rest
A lot of pet sitters/catteries and kennels promise a lot, and routinely fail to deliver. And they're not exactly cheap either. Really shouldn't mess with people's beloved animals. If we didn't give a toss about our pets, we would have abandoned them at home or wherever while we went off to work/jaunt/holiday...So anyone putting an animal into another's "care" is obviously concerned for the animal's well being...And yes, OF COURSE my cat is extra special. :-)
I hear you about not messing with my cat, or in my case cats. Sometimes we want to find excuses for people we work with. No wanting to think they aren’t redeemable. When it happened to his own cat, he couldn’t hide behind that excuse anymore. I would have gone full terminator.
Last Story: I can see why OP was willing to let things go at first. He probably didn’t realize just how bad it was until he was hit with undeniable evidence
He would fix her mistakes behind her. So the animals weren’t really mistreated. The fact that he wasn’t there to take care of his baby and they both let him be treated so badly. That’s what made him said something.
The cat sitter, I agree OP is A badguy. KA is horrible for the job quality, but he's guilty for letting it slide and playing victim when it happened to him.
Story 1: Tim was a crappy manager whould should've been sacked long before his demotion. Bullying is NOT acceptable in the workplace. Story 2: KA was a crappy worker and OP was carrying her for a LONG time. The mountain of evidence from OP was impossible to refute. KL wasn't much better. KA got everything she deserved. OP is NOT the AH.
The cat's owner allowed this incompetence to continue for a long time based on a friendship? She did not care about others' cats until it was her cat that was hurt. I find her responsible for not doing her job to train them and hold the accountable in the first place. If it were my vet clinic I would have got rid of all of them.
1. The wording suggests OP was picking up the slack of KA 2. OP had told KL about KA and was told by KL that they were "working on it" implying that KL was doing things, so OP thought that was that. 3. It was only when OP's cat was treated that way that OP realized things were not getting done and went to the manager. Did you and I even listen to the same story?
Op in the final story wasn't the bad guy, he cleaned up the assistant's messes constantly and made sure the animals were taken care of, amongst other things. His cat is apart of his family, so how would it have felt to have your kid or sibling be abused for six days by someone you thought could be trusted to do it? And don't forget that he did this because it was for free, and that the assistant really should have been doing her job better after the multiple f### ups she did. So in reality, op was NOT the bad guy in the slightest. Also the assistant really shouldn't have been doing the pet sitting thing without permission of the company, because that was going to lead to her being fired as well.
Animal abuse and neglect is never fucking okay. OP did what he did because his pet suffered neglect of someone who was supposed to be a professional. You don't just allow that kind of person to make money on continual abuse.
OP fixed KA and KL's screw-ups without reporting them or complaining until they mistreated his own cat. Ok, he gave them lots of chances to fix their behavior and the animals in their care didn't suffer, as OP fixed whatever needed to be handled. He trusted them to at least care for his cat - not unreasonable. They did what they did, so OP decided to assist, but only by reporting what he had previously fixed, without reporting, what KA and KL were doing. Personally, I think OP had every right, and actually they needed to be stopped anyway as what would happen if OP moved to another job without first fixing the problem of KA and KL. THAT would have left animals in distress. OP just protected the animals, including those being "pet sit" customers as who knows what kind of care those animals were getting with no supervision at all over KA in that situation. OP did right!
OP was not wrong in the pet story. He said the people in charge were already aware of it, they should have taken care of the problem. He doesn't get paid to do their job for them. He was totally in the right to stand up for his own pet. He doesn't have to get paid for that, its' his pet.
Not in a related field, but I've been in situations with ineffectual coworkers. Instead of the job not getting done, I take up the slack as best as possible, organizing the coworkers to what strengths they may have, and get the job done right. There's been times when an inspection could have gotten half the line fired for various misconducts, but I was pulling up enough slack that we avoided such inspections on night shift. It's faster than getting management to sort the problem out, and usually gets better results. From some of the wording choices, it sounds like OP was in that same situation of carrying useless fucktrophies to success.
It's very human to ignore the suffering of others until it happens to you. Anyone can look at examples of global suffering and instead of doing something about (donation time or money) they care for their own. Its quite normal. Justice for the cat did help others in the long run.
Yep the kids starving in Africa isn't a big deal when your yourself are working a dead end job and your own kids are barely getting enough to eat A personal problem always outweighs a bigger problem
He knew? OP KNEW? OP if I was your boss, I would have let you go too. You allowed other people's animals to be abused. You knew. You really only decided to do something when it came to your cat. What about all the others that you could have stopped? Pets can be traumatized too. Unacceptable. I would have fired those 2 and then addressed OP, why he didn't say something sooner, then I would have said "and because you did nothing/said nothing, you're fired too!
I believe I heard you read OP had went behind her and corrected her mistakes. So all you people who are against OP, he tried to help her. When he found the condition of his cat, I can assume he realized all the things she did (or didn’t) do while he was gone. I believe this had to be part of the reason to get rid of her. All I could think of was how many children daycares let employee children stay for free. Lord, please don’t let her get a job at a daycare!
Have to agree that if OP had prior knowledge of the poor performance from the other two boarding assistants and did nothing than he’s complicit in allowing it to continue and responsible for what happened to those other pets. That’s very selfish and not the kind of person who should work there. Never turn a blind eye to abuse/neglect. Always speak up.
The one thing that keeps me from fully being on that side is the kennel lead knows and is "working on it." (around 10:25 ). That said she should have gone to the manager practically immediately, but I'm not sure this is a case of hindsight or not.
i agree but on the other hand he did speak up unfortunately the Lead was just as bad and didnt do anything If OP didnt bring it up to the big boss, those two would still be working there
@@SporkSlayer probably hindsight i mean if you have problems you should report to your boss and if they tell you "im working on it" you dont really have reason to doubt immediately
1. OP was griping about it, had talked to KL about it and KL had said KA was being handled. 2. OP was picking up the slack of KA's bad work ethic. 3. The full scale of mistreastment only occurred because OP wasn't there to pick up the slack. Why on earth are you blaming the only person who did a god damn thing in that entire clinic and not blaming KL for being a shit boss to KA and KA for being a shit employee.
On that first story I'm so glad Opie got revenge on their EX manager that Tim guy because the thing that really pissed me off about him was the fact that this dude had the nerve to say oh next time the suicide Queen comes in tell her to get the job done right like what a worthless piece of shit human being this guy is and I hope wherever he ends up and live really reflects the idea of him understanding that nobody else got him there except him when he's on the streets begging for change then on top of that I hope he's in for a rude awakening in the afterlife if there is a place like that for people like him
He should of said something earlier yes. HOWEVER most of those offenses she had could have very well been considered animal abuse. In which given enough evidence warrants jail time. The business could have also gotten her for deposition of character against the business. Her bad work ethic could have very well destroyed the business. I would have gone SOOO much farther than just getting rid of her at the work place. Think about it if she has the audacity to Treet helpless animals like that how does she treat her own children???
I'm conflicted in that last story... yes, OP was selfish for only reporting KA's screw-ups when his own cat was the victim, but at the same time, I can't be mad at him: he was protective of KA because he was originally friends with her, and I can relate to that.
He was also fixing her screw ups and reported it to the Lead. So when he was there, the pets weren’t being mistreated and the Lead said he was training her. With that I can say most people would give the duo the benefit of the doubt to do better. Christmas break was really just the point where OP realized nothing was getting better.
OP had griped and spoke to KL prior to their cat being the victim and KL had said it was handled. And OP had been picking up the slack. As far as OP knew prior to seeing their cat, KL had been handling KA. It was only after seeing their cat that OP realized KL wasn't handling it and took it further.
Ooooh gotta agree with OP’s commenters in Reddit. All those animals were being mistreated and they only reported it once their animal was being mistreated? That’s so wrong.
Logically they wouldn't have been mistreated because he would've been there to fix her mistakes. He even says as much in the post. I don't know why he expected her to somehow magically improve though and all of a sudden be good enough to take care of his cat. Seems naive.
I think OP of cat story was partial guilty to let that thing escalate so far, but the main problem was the KL-s lack of managing skills. KL should have written up KA already much earlier for the faults KA done and KA shouldn't be at that position for a long time as the events escalated. So mainly nope OP is not the absolute a.hole the situation but has some guilt on it.
In regards to that last story, OP wasn't just "letting" her mistreat those animals, OP literally said that they would gripe about it and then fix the issue themselves.
Southern State, not Baked Poultry... lol since I'm not American it took me a while to guess but that's KFC / Kentucky (Southern State) Fried (not Baked) Chicken (Poultry). imho their food always doesn't sit well for me, so I rarely ever have it but that's a great "I don't want to say their actual name" name.
I'd like to say I'm also a patient man, but rile me up and get on my bad side, well my friend Elijah shows his anger through words me I radiate anger when I get like that
I don't think OP let any mistreatment happen. Simply picked up where she was lacking making sure the animals were well taken care, and the kennel lead was also in charge of making sure she was doing her job right.
Yeah that what sounds like to me and if you're not entirely focussed on something you don't see all of it so I don't think he seen a good it from not perposely watching her
Agreed sounded same here

Larry deserves better than a KFC
7:24 I believe being demoted is worse then being fired, the bigwigs might as well place a big neon sign that reads "you're here forever" excellent
The last story,I have an opinion, OP didn't tell on her because he knew about her kids and it was things that could be chalked up to a bad day or stress.

OP sounds like he had to go to the manager above hers and you need more proof most of the time or they well write these things off and just give a note with nothing changing. It sounded like she needed the whole thing to be removed from abusing more pets.
The second story made me loose faith in humanity but it was restored when revenge struck
The way I saw the second story was that he reported her to her lead on numerous instances got told “it will be sorted” but never did so when he found his cat in that state he knew the lead would be useless as the lead also failed his job too so go to the manager
No he’s good. He documented everything and his boss was investigating it/her so he let it go. He never said he saw her abusing any animals. I’m very sure if he really knew she was abusing the animals he would never have left his cat in her care. She got what she deserved.
well i think its quite clear, OP stated that he saw things that were done wrong by her and he was correcting them for her. so no animals we're actually mistreated until OP went away for the holidays because he was not able to correct her mistakes.
If I was OP from the second story, I would’ve taken pictures and videos of my cats so that there would be no denying it.
OP was NOT in the wrong. You don’t treat beloved animals like that. Whether they someone else’s or your own. Hearing how she treated his cat made me think of how she treats her children
I believe the term you're looking for is _Schadenfreude;_ the pleasure derived from someone else's misfortune or deserved karmic retribution.
This channel, and you, feed our sense of schadenfreude~
OP in that last story never once said the lady was mistreating OTHER pets before theirs- they just said she was shit at her job. the job involves a lot more than direct pet welfare. ALSO even if it did sometimes impact the animals, since the OP presumably likes and looks after pets well, and they said they and the manager were covering her mistakes till then, if she forgot to give a pet water or whatever they obviously took care of it themselves and manager was meant to be handling it so she'd get better or whatever.
That last story, I would have done the same! No one messes with my cat! Not even family, boyfriends or friends. You harm my cat, you’re harming me! I wish those horrible ppl got worse than just losing job/client base.
1st story, OP we can't blame staff for liking Larry or Tim because Larry knows how to enjoy and have fun at work, and the results are great sales and teamwork. Being serious is fine, but work should be fun and enjoyable too.
2nd story, OP your right, clients are gold because building a client base is hard work because it can take a long time even years to build a large Client base. That's why companies protect their client base with lawyers.
Op picked up her disk and fixed things. He didn't allow the pets to go on being mistreated
I dont get why the second story op is getting so much flak. He said in his story, he gripes but picks up after KA. He is doing something about it. Even at the end, he notes he does far better than both of them.
Secondly, it's not like he said he was completely selfless. He said he has his boundaries and can let everything go if it didn't cross those boundaries. He knew her performance, and did what was required. It isn't his fault KL didn't do anything about KA and OP still picked up after KA. If he didn't do "a damn thing" like people mentioned. I don't think the business as a whole would've survived. Allow me to explain. If KA has such a large clientele of petsitting ("2-3 gigs a week..."), That, at least to me, tells me the kennel service itself is pretty large. People were still coming in. I can almost bet those 6 days OP left, there will be a few people who collected their pets and vowed never to return. That isn't OP's fault. He is innocent in my eyes
K thanks for coming to my ted talk
Exactly!
People don’t know how to read in the world of the internet or I should say read out loud
that was a great ted talk
@@wiccastacey3864 my thoughts exactly
Good talk.😁
I agree You DON'T MESS WITH MY CAT!
Don't mess with someone's cat, or dog! It's not hard if that is exactly what your job is. OMG.
OP said they picked up the slack for their lousy coworker all the time when she'd fuck up so I think maybe the people saying they let mistreatment slide until their cat was mistreated are mistaken
I thought the pet dude helped KA fix minor problems instead of covering up animal abuse because why else would he trust his cat to his co-workers if he knew how they were treated?
About the last one: she dug her own grave. Just because she have kids doesnt mean she can do shitty stuff and still get away with them because "she needs the money for her kids".
Op probably reported it to the Kennel lead (who was also a piece of crap) and then when that went no where picked up the slack.
I don't particularly like cats but I certainly understand the love of a pet owner because I adore dogs and horses. I would NEVER hurt a cat. Many of my friends have them and I pet them. I just don't Want one. (Big Difference) So I agree! ANYONE that would hurt ANY animal is on my list! What were these people doing in pet care if their love of animals was so minimalistic?!?
Larry honestly sounds a lot like my dad that is something that my dad would do heaven rest his soul
I think Southern State Not-Baked Poultry is the best way to call what was probably a KFC.
"hi stheve!" 2:32
"hi lawwy!" 2:44
best part ever
To me, it seems like that guy obly knew a couple of things prior to this all and once his own cat was left in horrible condition, he started digging and found the rest
A lot of pet sitters/catteries and kennels promise a lot, and routinely fail to deliver. And they're not exactly cheap either. Really shouldn't mess with people's beloved animals. If we didn't give a toss about our pets, we would have abandoned them at home or wherever while we went off to work/jaunt/holiday...So anyone putting an animal into another's "care" is obviously concerned for the animal's well being...And yes, OF COURSE my cat is extra special. :-)
if i was the guy in the chicken story i would have also screamed "i will not let you push me to suicide like you did suicide queen"
I hear you about not messing with my cat, or in my case cats. Sometimes we want to find excuses for people we work with. No wanting to think they aren’t redeemable. When it happened to his own cat, he couldn’t hide behind that excuse anymore. I would have gone full terminator.
Last Story: I can see why OP was willing to let things go at first. He probably didn’t realize just how bad it was until he was hit with undeniable evidence
Ok the 'Hi Thimmm' genuinely made me laugh !
Larry is probably been promoted to the job Tim wanted, and if thats true, the revenge is complete.
Don't mess with my cats too. Too bad! She got what she asked for!
He would fix her mistakes behind her. So the animals weren’t really mistreated. The fact that he wasn’t there to take care of his baby and they both let him be treated so badly. That’s what made him said something.
If Tim said that to me, I'd have his job if I had any possibility of making it happen.
The cat sitter, I agree OP is A badguy. KA is horrible for the job quality, but he's guilty for letting it slide and playing victim when it happened to him.
legend says Tim is still assistant manager
poor kitty must have been scared out of its mind
Story 1: Tim was a crappy manager whould should've been sacked long before his demotion. Bullying is NOT acceptable in the workplace.
Story 2: KA was a crappy worker and OP was carrying her for a LONG time. The mountain of evidence from OP was impossible to refute. KL wasn't much better. KA got everything she deserved. OP is NOT the AH.
The cat's owner allowed this incompetence to continue for a long time based on a friendship? She did not care about others' cats until it was her cat that was hurt. I find her responsible for not doing her job to train them and hold the accountable in the first place. If it were my vet clinic I would have got rid of all of them.
1. The wording suggests OP was picking up the slack of KA
2. OP had told KL about KA and was told by KL that they were "working on it" implying that KL was doing things, so OP thought that was that.
3. It was only when OP's cat was treated that way that OP realized things were not getting done and went to the manager.
Did you and I even listen to the same story?
Op in the final story wasn't the bad guy, he cleaned up the assistant's messes constantly and made sure the animals were taken care of, amongst other things. His cat is apart of his family, so how would it have felt to have your kid or sibling be abused for six days by someone you thought could be trusted to do it? And don't forget that he did this because it was for free, and that the assistant really should have been doing her job better after the multiple f### ups she did. So in reality, op was NOT the bad guy in the slightest. Also the assistant really shouldn't have been doing the pet sitting thing without permission of the company, because that was going to lead to her being fired as well.
Love your videos man, they help my day go by faster and make my day more entertaining. Keep up the good work.
Don’t know how I’ve survived this long without ringing the bell, but finally did!
Animal abuse and neglect is never fucking okay. OP did what he did because his pet suffered neglect of someone who was supposed to be a professional. You don't just allow that kind of person to make money on continual abuse.
not ignoring the fact that it wasn't the first time and OP only acted when it was their cat that was mistreated. Of this was r/aita, id say ESH
0:48 Lol 😂! DEFINITELY NOT a name change to protect the copyright of a certain fried chicken fast food restaurant!
Thank you Fluff, love the stories
I love all cat or pets stories! Keep it up.
OP fixed KA and KL's screw-ups without reporting them or complaining until they mistreated his own cat. Ok, he gave them lots of chances to fix their behavior and the animals in their care didn't suffer, as OP fixed whatever needed to be handled. He trusted them to at least care for his cat - not unreasonable. They did what they did, so OP decided to assist, but only by reporting what he had previously fixed, without reporting, what KA and KL were doing. Personally, I think OP had every right, and actually they needed to be stopped anyway as what would happen if OP moved to another job without first fixing the problem of KA and KL. THAT would have left animals in distress. OP just protected the animals, including those being "pet sit" customers as who knows what kind of care those animals were getting with no supervision at all over KA in that situation. OP did right!
I love that I get to these early without even thinking about it
I look forward to your videos everyday when I get the time to. Keep up with the good work
The 2nd story: He said that he fixed all of the issues he saw caused by her.
OP was not wrong in the pet story. He said the people in charge were already aware of it, they should have taken care of the problem. He doesn't get paid to do their job for them. He was totally in the right to stand up for his own pet. He doesn't have to get paid for that, its' his pet.
Not in a related field, but I've been in situations with ineffectual coworkers. Instead of the job not getting done, I take up the slack as best as possible, organizing the coworkers to what strengths they may have, and get the job done right. There's been times when an inspection could have gotten half the line fired for various misconducts, but I was pulling up enough slack that we avoided such inspections on night shift.
It's faster than getting management to sort the problem out, and usually gets better results.
From some of the wording choices, it sounds like OP was in that same situation of carrying useless fucktrophies to success.
There are updates answering the questions about why he didn't report it earlier... Tip HE DID the lead did NOTHING
You my dear TH-camr are loved as well as is evidenced by your followers
That's it we need a R/slash nuclear revenge
He does them regularly ;)
It's very human to ignore the suffering of others until it happens to you. Anyone can look at examples of global suffering and instead of doing something about (donation time or money) they care for their own. Its quite normal. Justice for the cat did help others in the long run.
Yep the kids starving in Africa isn't a big deal when your yourself are working a dead end job and your own kids are barely getting enough to eat
A personal problem always outweighs a bigger problem
As a wise person told me, “Just because others are suffering, it doesn’t mean my problems are any less real.”
He knew? OP KNEW? OP if I was your boss, I would have let you go too. You allowed other people's animals to be abused. You knew. You really only decided to do something when it came to your cat. What about all the others that you could have stopped? Pets can be traumatized too. Unacceptable. I would have fired those 2 and then addressed OP, why he didn't say something sooner, then I would have said "and because you did nothing/said nothing, you're fired too!
I believe I heard you read OP had went behind her and corrected her mistakes. So all you people who are against OP, he tried to help her. When he found the condition of his cat, I can assume he realized all the things she did (or didn’t) do while he was gone. I believe this had to be part of the reason to get rid of her. All I could think of was how many children daycares let employee children stay for free. Lord, please don’t let her get a job at a daycare!
If he put his hands on someone, his ass should have been charged with assault
Have to agree that if OP had prior knowledge of the poor performance from the other two boarding assistants and did nothing than he’s complicit in allowing it to continue and responsible for what happened to those other pets. That’s very selfish and not the kind of person who should work there. Never turn a blind eye to abuse/neglect. Always speak up.
The one thing that keeps me from fully being on that side is the kennel lead knows and is "working on it." (around 10:25 ).
That said she should have gone to the manager practically immediately, but I'm not sure this is a case of hindsight or not.
i agree but on the other hand he did speak up
unfortunately the Lead was just as bad and didnt do anything
If OP didnt bring it up to the big boss, those two would still be working there
@@SporkSlayer probably hindsight
i mean if you have problems you should report to your boss
and if they tell you "im working on it" you dont really have reason to doubt immediately
Well he did say that one girl was the only one who was nice to him when he first started so it sounds like the whole workplace was kind of terrible.
1. OP was griping about it, had talked to KL about it and KL had said KA was being handled.
2. OP was picking up the slack of KA's bad work ethic.
3. The full scale of mistreastment only occurred because OP wasn't there to pick up the slack.
Why on earth are you blaming the only person who did a god damn thing in that entire clinic and not blaming KL for being a shit boss to KA and KA for being a shit employee.
On that first story I'm so glad Opie got revenge on their EX manager that Tim guy because the thing that really pissed me off about him was the fact that this dude had the nerve to say oh next time the suicide Queen comes in tell her to get the job done right like what a worthless piece of shit human being this guy is and I hope wherever he ends up and live really reflects the idea of him understanding that nobody else got him there except him when he's on the streets begging for change then on top of that I hope he's in for a rude awakening in the afterlife if there is a place like that for people like him
He should of said something earlier yes. HOWEVER most of those offenses she had could have very well been considered animal abuse. In which given enough evidence warrants jail time. The business could have also gotten her for deposition of character against the business. Her bad work ethic could have very well destroyed the business. I would have gone SOOO much farther than just getting rid of her at the work place. Think about it if she has the audacity to Treet helpless animals like that how does she treat her own children???
Being demoted was too good for Tim.
Hiiiii Dark Fluff Can I get AAAA HUGGGG????????
Great! Now I want some Southern State Not Baked Poultry! 🍗
Tim should have been fired...He assaulted a worker IN FRONT of customers and the Big Wigs. Tim got lucky. What a jacka**
I'm conflicted in that last story... yes, OP was selfish for only reporting KA's screw-ups when his own cat was the victim, but at the same time, I can't be mad at him: he was protective of KA because he was originally friends with her, and I can relate to that.
He was also fixing her screw ups and reported it to the Lead. So when he was there, the pets weren’t being mistreated and the Lead said he was training her. With that I can say most people would give the duo the benefit of the doubt to do better. Christmas break was really just the point where OP realized nothing was getting better.
OP had griped and spoke to KL prior to their cat being the victim and KL had said it was handled. And OP had been picking up the slack. As far as OP knew prior to seeing their cat, KL had been handling KA. It was only after seeing their cat that OP realized KL wasn't handling it and took it further.
In fairness, if you don’t have a job, you don’t need daycare. So....
Ooooh gotta agree with OP’s commenters in Reddit. All those animals were being mistreated and they only reported it once their animal was being mistreated? That’s so wrong.
Logically they wouldn't have been mistreated because he would've been there to fix her mistakes. He even says as much in the post. I don't know why he expected her to somehow magically improve though and all of a sudden be good enough to take care of his cat. Seems naive.
Squall598 that true too
If "Larry" hadn't become a big wig by that or this time. There is something wrong here.
Loved the Thim story!!
Why do you need daycare if you aren't working. Care for them yourself until someone risks giving you a job

Wow what a great video.
Narrator: I love you.
Me: 😮😯
So how bout dinner, & a movie LoL. 😏😳😉
I think OP of cat story was partial guilty to let that thing escalate so far, but the main problem was the KL-s lack of managing skills. KL should have written up KA already much earlier for the faults KA done and KA shouldn't be at that position for a long time as the events escalated. So mainly nope OP is not the absolute a.hole the situation but has some guilt on it.
In regards to that last story, OP wasn't just "letting" her mistreat those animals, OP literally said that they would gripe about it and then fix the issue themselves.
Southern State, not Baked Poultry... lol since I'm not American it took me a while to guess but that's KFC / Kentucky (Southern State) Fried (not Baked) Chicken (Poultry). imho their food always doesn't sit well for me, so I rarely ever have it but that's a great "I don't want to say their actual name" name.
I'd like to say I'm also a patient man, but rile me up and get on my bad side, well my friend Elijah shows his anger through words me I radiate anger when I get like that
I got my satisfaction today thanks to these videos
So...Boston Market? Lol can't think of anything else.
Southern State Not Baked Chicken 😆 I like that 😊.
I wonder when Texas Cooked Turkey comes to my country.
I don't know, but KFC is in most countries. Heck, even South Africa during Apartheid.
