This is how everything went down.
On Wednesday, August 31st, my employer went into literally a psychotic rage regarding the uncleanliness of his practice (I was a Vet Tech for those that didn't know). He took us from room to room pointing out things such as dust and crooked pictures. I was a little surprised because no one had informed me of such things before this but I was ok with that part. He then started yelling about some ceiling tiles that were stained due to an a/c problem. He said that we should have replaced them or have someone replace them. Also due to the a.c problem, there was insulation falling down which he told us to rip down. During this time, I'm thinking to myself that I wasn't hired to do carpentry and janitorial work. Sure I expected to sweep up and clean cages after work but carpentry work was I thought a little outside the realm of a Vet Tech.
Later that day he called me up to his office and stated that I had not been performing the way he expected. He said if I couldn't handle all the responsibilities that I could leave right then. Even though I disagreed with a lot of what he was saying, I told him I understood and promptly went back to cleaning. The very next morning, the Sr tech told me they had to let me go. I told her that I was just informed the day before that I was not meeting expectations and had no warning before this. She said she didn't understand either. I then asked her how many people have come before me because of this and she said a lot. So to me and my friends, it sounds like he had already planned to fire me which is really fucked up considering I had no warning or absolutely no hint that I wasn't performing.
I always wondered why they only like to hire inexperienced vet tech. Their reason was that they like to mold them into their kind of tech. What I think is that they hire unexperienced techs because they know experienced techs would not do all the unrelated work that he requires.
I have already file with unemployment but my friend also suggested reporting it to the EEOC which I'm not too familiar with. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd like to hear them
