2 months ago i started working for a home caring agency, i really enjoyed the work, however my home life is chaotic to say the least, homeless and living in a bnb.

i made clear my whole situation and agreed working weekends and bank holidays as no one else can have the dcs and dp was in training for a new job, i recieve my first rota, working 7 days straight, when i point out this isnt something i can do i was greeted with a tough luck, rotas are out nothing we can do... this happened week after week and being a mug i did it. Anyway it all came to a head and i had a nervous breakdown, the doctor signed me off for 2 measly weeks and the day my note ran out i get a text your working tomorrow, 7-6, thanks. in my two weeks off dp had started a new job so i can ONLY do my agreed weekends, i inform them of this and now im un indated with calls nagging and moaning when im not even meant to work weekdays, the doctor is signing me off again but i have trouble getting in to get my note as i live 30min drive away and dp has the car...ive explained this and still get nasty texts, theyve even involved a friend who works there, whom id decided not to tell id had a breakdown and she now knows everything... im fuming, surely they shouldnt act like this?

you were treated badly on the evidence you provide.

Um surely that is confidential information and they have broken some legal agreements by divulging your personal information to a colleague, whether she is a friend or not.

I would have serious words at this point as if that is the case, they are skating on almost non existent ice.

so what did you do with the children if no one could have them?

JjandtheBeanlovesUnicorns · 25/05/2011 11:39

dp was just training at that point, few hrs here and there, so it was juggled, also had a friend available for a few hrs a week but she is now back at university, for a few weeks now he is employed full time it is not an option.

im just so cross they know my situation yet continue to push and treat me badly, they are incredibly rude, the lady who consistently rings me also texts from her personal number so ive had it barred, as far as i am concerned my contracted hours they can tell me what where and when but the rest of the week is none of there business. ive had 10 calls and texts today already.

sorry about the double whammy.

expatinscotland · 25/05/2011 11:42

Tell them you're not available any more. Ever.

Nicknacky · 25/05/2011 11:43

What hours are you contracted to work?

JjandtheBeanlovesUnicorns · 25/05/2011 11:50

expat- thats exactly what dp said.

nick- its a zero hour contract, but you declare availability which is every other weekend and bank holidays. it was meant to be extra cash so we could save and its resulted in running me into the ground because i couldnt say no, well i could, im just soft
