need to rant/advice……

so i’ve been working at this salon for almost 2 years now. The owners are husband and wife and both are groomers. The wife is particularly rough with dogs, yells at them, pushes and pulls them, especially if she is stressed and/or the dog is more difficult. I have spoken to the husband about this multiple times but he always makes excuses for her, blaming it on her anxiety, saying there’s nothing he can do about it because it puts stress on their home life.

The problem is I feel stuck there because I am about to start grooming from my home but it’s taking a lil longer than expected to get set up, and there is a grooming competition coming up that i’m using one of the salon dogs for.

It’s getting to the point where I feel so guilty for not standing up for these poor stressed out dogs, because when I have said something in the past, nothing ever changes. It is so hard to get up everyday and work in that environment. I don’t want to work there anymore
