As a veterinarian who has worked for a corporate practice previously, I can confirm all of this. When private equity comes in they always tell the clinic “Nothing will change”. Then shockingly (/s), the entire culture changes. These corporations have no respect for the staff (vets and techs alike) and view us as easily replaced cogs in the machine. They pay lip service to Quality of Life, but of course they don’t give a damn. Private equity is the bane of America.
