Re: My Friend Quit Her Job
She should file a report after she finds another job.
I don't know that I would've had her level of self restraint. Point a gun at me & I will respond in kind.

Re: My Friend Quit Her Job
She is still thinking about doing that. She has no wish to cause him trouble for it's own sake, but she does feel a concern for the safety of the people in his environment and the bait he is making available for criminal temptation. He has apologized, but I think that is more because now he's realized he needs to soothe her upset for fear it may get out what he has been doing. The previous owner holds the note on the practice. I can imagine she would not be happy to hear of any of this. He just generally does not seem to see the gravity of his lack of responsibility on several levels. The previous owner was there a couple of days a week at first until the practice changed hands completely and he reportedly crowed loudly like a grade schooler that he was "free at last" when she left the last time. He was unable to do any of these things when the previous owner was there and would know about it. Immaturity can be forgiven, but pointing a gun at employees not so much.

Re: My Friend Quit Her Job
Most likely, the federal OSHA would not do much, since the veterinarian is probably not engaged in interstate commmerce, and employs less than the number of employees necessary to come under the purview of the federal OSHA, but if there's a state OSHA or an employment commission, I'd definitely consider filing a report - sounds like this is the textbook definition of "hostile work environment" when someone's pointing a weapon (loaded or unloaded) at me!The_Busy_Mom wrote:Jumping Frog wrote:OSHA

Re: My Friend Quit Her Job
Sorry to hear about your friend. What a tough situation to have been in, but sure sounds to me like she did the right thing.
An inspector from the Oklahoma State Board of Pharmacy wouldn't look too kindly on that.He fails to keep the drug box that contains scheduled narcotics and other drugs locked.
Re: My Friend Quit Her Job
Open access to narcotics should be of interest to the state vet board. Animal drugs have found a place on the street, especially Ketamine. I've heard of clinics being broken into for the fentanyl & ketamine.

Re: My Friend Quit Her Job
This. You point a loaded gun at me and run a laser up and down me, the first chance I get I'll be filing a police complaint. No joke. And whoever said it first is right....I'll bet the DEA would be REAL interested in the way he handles controlled substances. I'm guessing that he is providing more than moonshine to his buddies. The weird thing is, you have to be pretty smart and put in a whole lot of work to graduate from vet school, so it sounds to me like it isn't lack of intelligence that's driving him, but rather a severely compromised moral compass.bdickens wrote:I'd have beaten the living snot that donkey's posterior if I didn't shoot him.
Good for her to quit. Now she needs to turn him in. This idiot is a tragic news story in the making.

Re: My Friend Quit Her Job
Complaints related to the drug issue should be made to the DEA, and they take those very seriously. Also a call to the state veterinary board would be in order.

Re: My Friend Quit Her Job
He did send her an email apologizing for having intentionally pointed the gun at her. He wrote that he had learned his lesson and it was a stupid thing to do. I am very doubtful, however, that he will now be telling his buddies there will be no more moonshine combined with gun handling or that he will suddenly be studious about keeping the drug box locked. He may be more careful not to paint employees with lasers (at least while he is sober).
For me, the apology is better than nothing, but does not erase the fact he was ever impulsive and stupid enough to do it in the first place. That does not bode well for someone who regularly drinks to the point of being buzzed while handling his guns with his buddies doing the same thing. If any of them had any sense, they would not be participating. He was doing this stuff under the nose of the previous owner anytime she was out of the office, so I doubt my friend having quit will have any lasting effect on his level of wisdom. As has been pointed out, he was smart enough to make it through vet school, so this is not an intelligence problem. It's a lack of self control, morals, and wisdom coupled with an ego that says he gets to do what he wants. Maybe getting his own practice has made him think he is the last word on what goes on there, but he could find out very unpleasantly that also means he is the one on the hot seat. I can just imagine him explaining to the police how many unsecured guns were stolen along with drugs from a back door that shows no sign of forced entry and a drug box that is undamaged. Supposedly the guy's disapproving wife does not know he has the guns at all so he would have some 'splanin to do at home too.

If she wanted to sue for hostile work environment, he just handed her the case on a silver platter. A prior employer had to pay a $5 million settlement for gender-related hostile work environment case.TexasGal wrote:He did send her an email apologizing for having intentionally pointed the gun at her.
