Ep79: After-Hours Anxiety: My Boss Keeps Texting Me on My...

What this episode covers

At one point or another in your veterinary career, you’ve probably questioned whether your employer should be allowed to contact you about work on your day off. This communication could be from a practice owner, hospital manager, medical director, hospital administration, a regional leader in a corporate structure, a colleague, or another team member, such as a receptionist or your RVT. This simple act of receiving work communication outside of work can be a significant drain on the quality of life for many veterinarians and veterinary professionals, which can create a high level of stress and anxiety. 😵‍💫 In this episode of The Daring DVM Podcast, we explore why this happens! I will also teach you one of my favorite tools, "The Operations Manual." It is a powerful tool for changing your feelings about any professional or interpersonal relationship. 📖✌️ Understanding the manual will help you find the root cause of your stress related to any interpersonal conflict. With this knowledge, you will be equipped to handle anything that comes your way. Even that pesky “Call me” text from your boss. 📞😩 What You'll Learn From this Episode: Why receiving work communication during your personal time can feel stressful. What it means to have a manual for how people should behave. Why we want people to follow our manual. The reason why "reading" your manual to others will (generally) not solve your issues with that person. The reason why switching jobs is rarely the answer to your problem. And 3 powerful questions to help you change how you feel about any interpersonal conflict! Let's connect! Schedule a ✨gifted coaching conversation✨. I love hearing from you, building lasting connection, and helping you heal. No strings attached. Just support when you need it most. 💞 Follow me on social media for free insights, tips and tools to help you overcome your overwhelm, quieten your anxiety and live a less stressed life!
