I have worked in my current job as a vet at a local practice for over 8 years. I have been part time (20h) for the last 4 years after 2 kids. I have expressed interest in progressing at the practice to partnership on a number of occasions. The opportunity has now arisen with a senior partner retiring. A meeting was held today with the accountant and the two exciting partners and my senior colleague, and a junior colleague (4 years qualified) - all men. It was an informal meeting to discuss future partnership arrangements. I was not invited to attend and neither of my colleagues told me about it. I found out about this meeting yesterday and asked for clarification as to why I was not included in this informal meeting. I have been given no clarification, the meeting went ahead and all of the above ignored me all day.
This seems to have really upset me, I feel angry, left out and inadequate. I have 10 years experience as a vet, been in charge of marketing for the practice, developed the rota, organised numerous client evenings, turn over pro-rata more than each of full time vets (including partners), have a large client list and support and train all the new graduates coming through. I have indicated I plan to return to full time work.
I really just need to rant to get it out of my system and then I might be able to think clearly about my career strategy.
