30 People Reveal The “Dark Secrets” About Their Jobs That Common People Aren’t Supposed To Know

Same!

You just did!

FTFY: There are too many people out there who use tribalism to justify their nasty hateful behavior. - Why? Politics, culture, race, religion, color, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, et al for an unending list. Tribalism fuels the US vs THEM mentality. Hyper tribalism causes the hatred. Most people want to belong, so are attracted to like groups. The problem is the people that lead those groups are almost always corrupt. Something about power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I like taking people from different tribal groups and making them talk. They find out they have a lot in common, as long as you keep the conversation away from their tribal identities. Example: A Jew, a Catholic, and a Sunni go to Brunch, when kept from religion they all had fun. The minute the religion topic came up, it was game over. You can do the same with a Marxist, a Democrat, a Republican, and a Moderate. They will agree on a lot of things, until politics/economics. Then all bets are off.

Yeah, in the US we call them "Trump supporters"

So true.

This is why I’m Wiccan

One of the few perks, can''t get our own books any cheaper.

Lol!

Don't judge. I had to have the city put my 15 year old dog down, and they don't let you in to see it. Besides that, I was a basket case for several days after. I might have taken longer to recover had I seen it all in person.

I have to put my 12 year old dog down this Friday and the thought of it breaks my heart, but I am going to be there until the very end. I read an article that the pet will look around frantically for their owner and that's heartbreaking. </3

When I was 16, my parents went to the emergency vet with our cat and I was so sure they would come back with him so I stayed home. Never forgave myself for not going with them. This year, I had to put to sleep my rat and even though it was unbearably painful, I stayed with her until her very last breath. Yes, the pain still haunts me but goddess knows I would not leave her alone.

I've been an RVT for 20 years. Some people can't handle it and that's ok. We are there with their pet til the end. Petting, talking to them. Giving them chocolate or fries whatever we have in the hospital and we tell them they are loved. They are sedated and not in pain anymore. It's ok not to be there. It's hard to understand for some people but that's fine but don't judge them. They are grieving just as badly. And white honestly I've been in some euthanasias that didn't go smoothly and wish the owners were not there.

Some people don't want to keep the last image of their friends this way. Some people are fast to spread their judgements but lack total empathy for other people, it's sad.

I had depression and anxiety, and I couldn't bare to have the last memory of my dog her dying. However, she did not die alone. My brother and father were with her.

When my dog had to be put down after an accident, the Vet office didn't even offer for me to be with her...they just brought her to me in a box....and my daughter works for a Vet, some people it's too painful to be there and watch the medicine go in and the animal take it's final breath. It's really hard....so I don't judge some people just can't do it and I understand everyone grieves differently.

usually it's because it's too heartbreaking for the person to watch. it's still sad tho that the pet can't be near it's owner in it's last moments.

I wasn't allowed in the room when my 5 year old guinea pig was put to sleep, if I had the choice , I would have been there.

I do fostering and rescue. I now have a private shelter where I take in cats and dogs that have been abandoned, often due to age or to a medical condition owner doesn't want the expense of treating. I love and bond with every one of these innocent babies. I can't conceive of not being with them when their condition advances past the treatable stage. How could I abandon them for a second time? Yes, it is hard to say goodbye. But it's worse if you don't.

I didn't want to be present when my Zoe was put to sleep, but I went for her. I knew she would be scared without me. It's the least you can do for your friend who was always there for you. It broke my heart and it took me a long time to recover. I'm getting tearful right now just thinking about it, but it was the right thing to do. Do the right thing, don't be selfish.

Unfortunately, because of stupid COVID-19, many vets are not allowing pet parents to be with their furbabies when they have to cross the Rainbow Bridge. It's so heartbreaking for them, I couldn't even imagine it.

If you are going to be grief stricken your pet will know something is up and become worried-exactly the last thing you want at that point! Doing what is best for the pet, despite appearances or what you personally want is actually called being responsible. Sobbing and wailing and holding on to a pet so you can tell your friends you “didn’t abandon him” is far more selfish.

Me. I didn't want to watch my 19yr old poodle being put down...

I was not allowed by the vet to be there for my dog. They said that they had to call an ambulance a few times abd now it is against their policy.

well maybe its upsetting to see their pet given a lethal injection and die right infront of them. did u think about that?

I disagree. My dog is literally my child, or a family member. That's literally asking me to sit there and watch my child die. Not saying I won't be there when the time comes, but you shouldn't be so quick to judge those who can't be.

My parents did that to me by putting my cat down while I was at college. I was devastated. I said goodbye to my cat as normal before college, came home and my cat was gone :( I was never the same with them again.

Sometimes I don't think it matters if owner is there or not. Our last doggy was senile and was actually busy dying from kidney failure. They couldn't find an artery, and in my opinion, our doggy took longer to pass away from injection that should have. If I could have this tragic event over, I would have said that vet rather finish procedure without us. It wasn't as if our doggy was aware of us anymore, and there is something to be said about 'toughing it out' to be with your doggy in her last moments, but actually causing more harm.

Most cases, people are a******s. But, sometimes, there are exceptions. It can be unbearable for those people to have to see one of the most precious things in their life die. So, please be careful about how you word stuff.

A lot of people can't stand to see their beloved pet die. Don't judge them so much.

I once saw a comment from a vet that said "when an owner does not want to be there for their euthanasia, then the pets last moments are often them frantically looking around for their owner".

i had an almost-21yo cat who died in her sleep. while i was sleeping too. i am still heartbroken i wasn't there with her. another one of my cats had to be put down while i was hospitalized (200 kms away from home), and my mother was with her. i was petting my cat zoe a month ago while i had to put her down at 15yo hours after she suffered a severe blood clut (immediately rushed to the clinic and we tried everything but it was hopeless). and i had to put to sleep my beloved cat lella last year, she was about 18 and suffered several complications. she was on my lap, in our room, on our bed when the vet performed the procedure. i could never let her go alone. EVER.

Judgmental much?

It's selfish, plain and simple. You can suck it up for 15 minutes and be there to comfort the pet you've loved for years. One of my cats was at the vet getting her x-rays/bloodwork/etc for a few hours before they found out she was dying and the change in her demeanor when I walked in to be with her when she had to be put down was immediate. I can't even imagine how horribly scared she would be if I wasn't there to be with her in her final moments. SUCK IT UP and don't be a d**k to your pet people.

Think about it this way, would you want to see your child die in front of you? Me neither

I wouldn’t even put them to sleep. We don’t do it to humans, so why can we decide when it’s time to be God and decide for them what to do. I am fully against euthanasia.

I've worked for lawyers most of my life. Yes. In real estate law, it is the secretary doing the work. In family law, it is the law clerk doing the work with a bit of administrative thrown at the receptionist/secretary. I've seen them overcharge clients. I've seen them go about stretching out into a year a case that would have taken 6 to 7 months tops to complete. I've seen plenteous "x's" on legal documents to the point of barely legible because the lawyer is too cheap to use a new form. Secretaries/law clerks do all the lawyer's work, meaning the lawyer grabs the client's file for client meeting(s) and pretends they've done the work. I've seen a lawyer charge a client for the time the law clerk took to correct the law clerk's mistakes and then heard the lawyer bicker with the client when the client complained about unnecessary fees. Family law lawyers do not read documentation before they talk to a client. They read it as they're talking to a client.

In my experience, it depends. I've worked in places where paralegals were treated mostly like secretaries, doing primarily admin work. I've also worked in places where the paralegals were practically expected to be lawyers, and did all the research/drafting/work on a case while the attorney got to step in and present the polished finished product. I've worked for lawyers who were very self-sufficient, and I've worked for lawyers who needed their hands held and everything done for them. From what I've seen, law clerks/interns primarily conduct research and write memos.
