Im feeling really down. 6 months ago i found a job in a nursing home a 7 minute walk from my house. 3 shifts in and 3 off. It had a questionable manager when i started. The staff were all stressed because of this and eventually the big managers came in. They took over for 2 months and we got a new deputy who put more order in place that really worked for us. Alongside in order to show respect for us remainers (after a few walked) they brought us all a takeaway and did a couple of nice gestures for us. They had an open door policy and we could go to the office with any issues and they were on it but human!
Last week our new home manager walked in. She has come down on us like a ton of bricks. Shes controlling how we wear our hair up and has turned us into robots who are not allowed to have general chat with the residents. We are not allowed to be friends out of work with other staff. She tells us off if we knock on the office door. Shes so strict and has now cut us down on how many staff we have on a floor. Now we are rushed off our feet. Everyone looks sad. Everyones hot and wobbly by the time we are allowed a break. I burst into tears on my last shift as i knocked on the office door before i went home to ask if she had sorted my shifts as she was wanting to change them. I didnt know she was talking to other managers in thr office and she shouted at me for interupting.
I am really unsure whether i need to apply for new jobs. Im so sad as ive just started an nvq and i love the job. But i cant deal with this.
