I have no idea. I'm wondering if it was because they were in such a rush to open the clinic that they hired the first person with a passport. For me, they did the first interview locally the first week, then the next week I had to drive 2 hours to the head office for another interview, and they asked me if I had a passport. The week after that they said I was hired, and that I had to go to training in the US the following Monday. So we had a week of training in the States, and then we opened the Monday after that. I did work at another clinic before that where a kennel attendant was in a managerial position, but she managed the office. So she would make the schedule, handle delinquent accounts, that kind of stuff. The medical staff all reported to the veterinarian who owned the clinic. Again, I don't know why they would pick an obeast who had almost zero qualifications and was a stay-at-home-mom for the last 8 years. It was either because she knew somebody, or because she had a passport. I just take solace in the fact that she lost her job too in the end, and also that she's a fat sack of shit and I'm not.
