      Can’t seem to access the archived articles, but working lunchtimes and late into the evenings is unfortunately a frequent thing in my company/industry. You can choose not to so I suspect it doesn’t align with the ‘forced’ in this article’s title, but you’d probably end up stuck at entry level and eventually let go.

      Before reading this article I’m gonna make a psychic prediction that her clinic was owned by one of the mega-corps that are currently swallowing up all the independent vets in the UK and dropping the standard/jacking up the prices.

      >Pet Doctors in Chichester is owned by CVS (UK) Ltd. 

      Yup.

      When is our government going to bring in regulations preventing this kind of shit from happening? What happens when people have to start putting their animals down because they could no longer afford to pay for what was previously accessibile treatment for their companions?

      I used to work for a local authority and this is unfortunately common there too. Not forced, but given far too much work and strict deadlines, meaning people work through lunch breaks and evenings. I often received emails from management on the weekend. Lots of colleagues getting signed off or leaving – it was a horrible work culture.
