Shame this is going on when you have been there so long. I spoke to BVNA office in the week and the lady I spoke with was great really helpful really cared and gave some really good advice about things so I would definitely give them a call for some advice and support.

What a horrible situation, I find the fact that the more senior members of staff ignoring your cries for help appaulling. They are not only condoning the treatment your getting but more so giving it a big thumbs up. If you can go even further with it I would or seek outside help possibly citizens advice would know where to turn or BVNA/RCVS.

I hope you get it sorted soon and some one starts listening. x

Aww hun I feel for you I have been through a litte of this myself and its so dishartending. Its also made worse by the fact you have been there 10 years + and it seems as though that time and loyalty you have give your practice ans bosses counts for nothing! I would as sothe posts say if no one will listen just hand in your notice and find a new work place. A new place may seem scary but see it as a positive way to change things for the better for your self. You could also try locum nursing for a bit and then you are your own boss no one to answer to and you dont have to get involved in practice politics you can just do your job and leave at the end of they day and not worry what sally has said to amy.

I really hope you manage to get yourself sorted.

I'm so sorry to hear what you've been going through *hugs*

I have faced similar situations in the work place even before I joined the veterinary industry. The only piece of advice I can give you is a quote that really opened my eyes when things were getting tough.

"Have enough self respect to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you or makes you happy."

There are plenty of practices out there that would take you on in a heart beat.

I really feel for you because I have suffered from this kind of thing before and it's horrible. I would like to say stand up for yourself and/or ignore them, but I know this is easier said than done and can often leave you feeling more isolated. If there is really nobody senior that can help you then I would advise moving on - it's just not worth the stress. People often act this way when they are jealous or feel threatened and you could probably find a friendlier practice to work in where you would be valued and won't have to deal with these small minded people! Good luck

If i was you, i'd leave. The behaviour shown by other members of staff is flat out rude and unprofessional, especially belitteling you in front of other members of staff. If you stay then they will keep grinding down at your confidence and personality. It isn't worth having a few good days when most days are unbearable, it's not a healthy environment to be in. You could probably do a lot better!
