I love my job and I love the work I do and I hope to get better and learn more as I advance in my career. That being said. I fucking hate this insdustry so much why is being treated like shit the one standard we have across the board, all I’m asking for is a lunch break

#m’thoughts #Dog grooming is a great skill to have- it’s fun to do and it puts good into the world #And the reward for that (besides yaknow money) is working long days with too many dogs and no lunch break #Saw someone asking if they should call in sick because they have ringworm. Yknow. That disease that is contagious to humans and dogs #It’s just nuts to me! It’s nuts!#It’s extra frustrating cuz the big school in my area isn’t even pretending to try to change this #I’ve talked to grads and they’re like yeah we didn’t get lunch breaks there they really wanted to prep us for real jobs #And it’s like. WHY IS THAT THE STANDARD. Why are the admins just accepting it. You could change it #It’s so hard to get a job if you can’t groom more than 5 dogs a day which is insane to me #Like yeah that’s a pretty fair number to expect but how are people supposed to get up to that if they can’t start somewhere #‘We treat your dogs as individuals not as an assembly line’ <- says the salons that expect all their groomers to do 8 dogs a day #For transparency sake I’m averaging 4 dogs a day. I could probably get up to 5 soon I just need to work on stuff #I could probably do like 10 baths but I don’t wanna be a bather
