So I’ve learnt now, when I’m off, I’m off. I do feel bad that I can’t help someone when I’m not working but I need my work / life balance to be right” --- ### “I think the more you work, the more you build up your skills and the less work you take back home with you. The more time goes on, the more confident I feel, the less stress builds up and the less I think of it in my free time.” --- ### “I think it’s quite a toxic culture – that expectancy that you’ll always be there, as a vet, that you’ll always be accessible by phone – can be quite damaging. Then it’s frowned upon if you don’t answer your phone and you just think- every other job, lots of people don’t go home on time but you … have a break.”
