Pluspunten
Being a part of the most intimate and dear moments of people's lives 💟 *the ones that did right by their animals* That was an honour. And that is what was real. You may also meet some incredible human beings whom you serve alongside. To survive in this company your crewmates become your support network, your sounding board and your alley. Lean on them (selectively) and offer your support right back wherever you can. We're all treading water in the same 'pool' after all.

Leadership. A complete revamp would be required for any chance of doing right by the community, our animals and the team supporting them. Sadly the current powers at be have none of the attributes (care factor) that earns the title of a true leader. They have lots of pretty words to front as one, but there is no substance or authenticity behind them. They put on a show for each other, but one on one you will see through it. Support will be flaunted in public meetings. You will ask for support and be denied or ignored. They will consistently overstep your boundaries and disguise orders 'as a choice' out of manipulation. They will blame shift by creating a false narrative around your intellect and integrity, instead of taking accountability. In the service of laying to rest our loved ones, that essence doesn't belong here. The focus needs to be brought back to the 'why'. Why we're all here in the first place. Not how much $$ you can get from those who are in mourning. Not how much you can withdraw from your team in overtime and mistreatment before they burn out.
