As a wave of non-COVID illness washes over their staff, Ari and Chris sit down to discuss a consistent challenge that faces people who work in animal care: when you get sick, do you call in or not?
Who will cover my section?
Who will handle the animals who normally only work for me?
Will my manager be mad at me???
Am I letting the team down???????????
These thoughts and more race through the mind of the conscientious caretaker, so we take a little time to pull these questions apart and look at the responsibility that animal care staff (and their leadership) have in striking a balance that results in exceptional health care that goes beyond just our furry, scaly, and feathery friends.
