Now I haven't worked there for nearly a year and a half and I am aware I might be being silly but I'm not sure if I should do anything or even can. I don't want to seem petty.
I have two issues with my workplace, while I was working at the care home they had poor practice when it came to manual handling and I personally think safe guarding issues whilst the night shift was on (I was night shift). And the second was that I was badly bullied by the staff.
The place which I worked was dominated by one family who were related and very chummy with the owner, think head of night shift, day and day and night staff.(I'm actually shaking a little typing this)
A example of the poor practice was when we were assisting a service user to the toilet they could not stand properly most likely as they were half asleep after being dragged out of bed at 6 am the staff member who I was working with said to her if you don't stand up I will put you on the floor and then preceded to lower her onto the floor I repeated asked her to stop (staff member) she preceded to do this 3 times I couldn't stop her, I did complain but they did not listen.
Service users being kept in the home when Thier needs were to much for us to deal with this was residential when they needed nursing, one really bad one was a man with cereal palsy who was very heavy I could barely support him, it was dangerous when I complained I was told there was no one else who could do it and to suck it up.
The bullying was dreadful it was only after I left did I realise how horrible it was, last night I even had a nightmare.
On one occasion I came in after having a miscarriage the other staff member knew as just in case anything happened she proceeded to put one born every minute on the television I ignored it and just withdrew. I had a new haircut and the staff member said it looked shite, I was often blamed for things that went wrong and even when I wasn't at fault, we were changing a bed sheet of someone who could not move and had a broken hip the night shift head said that I was taking too long (being careful) and moved me out of the way trapping me in the corner she then turned her forcefully and caused a massive skin year.
The manager when approched would say they were forceful but very good at Thier jobs....I have many examples of bullying but these are a couple.
Is there anything I can do or should I leave it, since leaving one staff member who I loved is now in a wheel chair as a resident pulled her down falling badly and another is on crutches for life.
Am I being a snowflake?
