I work in the care industry. I always enjoyed helping people however there are so many issues. Especially from management and I often dread my work and my days. It's just sometimes it gets too intense. Days can be too long too at times.
The higher ups in my organisation wanted me to do courses that are manatorory and I wanted to do this studying too. I even signed up for a course back in 2019 however I was sunable to complete it.
This isn't any word of a lie. The physical work and hours can be too too too much sometimes. No one has any idea. There were times when I brought packed lunches to work and brought them home again because I never had time to eat my lunch and that would be after working all day. There has been. Times when I wore the same period pad from the time I got ready in the morning til I got home again at night.
I don't have a long commute to work. However sometimes my days are just so long.
I know nurses who work 12 hour shifts in a hospital setting but it's often done over three days.
In the care industry I could easily do them kind of hours buts it's done over 5 days. Sometimes weekends too.
I don't have any babies and children and usually when the school term is off on holidays the place is run on Skelton staff and there's so much falling onto me. I dread the school holidays. Because it can easily be 12 hour days or more for 5 days and sometimes even weekends thrown in on top.
The higher ups called me in for a meeting yesterday and gave me a warning. Not only a warning but a deadline to get courses done by the end of February.
This is one thing.
My boss on the floor is f*cking deluded telling me to do this. The work and the hours that she often has me doing is unreal.
No body knows how I am and I feel. Nobody knows what this is like. I am often exhausted. It nearly feels like I have to wait for a day off just to even digest a meal.
I don't mind signing up for a course but I won't be allowed to do this. Already I am scheduled for work next week for the mid term break working Monday through to Sunday and the Monday to Friday and I likely won't see a day off until the 2nd of November.
How am I supposed to do this?
Am I supposed to work like this and then whenever I finish a stint like this throw my exhausted head into books when I have choose between sleep or shower or food.
Christmas is coming up too so that will mean Christmas parties galore for all of the bosses.
I can remember a day not so long ago staring for about 9.30 and I was still working at 11.30 at night. That is inhumane.
Or Ami supposed to go home after one of these stints and sit on the toilet in pain with an infection of some sort of wearing the same pad all day and open up books.
