I quit working in a nursing home as a care assistant years ago. Utterly took the piss. Was doing 8am - 8pm with an hour off and then going back todo a night shift at 9pm to 8am to the following morning.
Did this for 4 days straight - and when asked for a day off, got rudely told no cos they were short staffed. Aside from being ruddy illegal doing those sort of hours - i was dead on my feet.
There was no way i could continue to give proper care to the residents.
Place was well below standard. Their idea of a sluice was refuse black bins filled with bleach. Disgusting.
I went to work for an agency in the end. Money was double - and i could choose my own hours.
This was years ago - and there is no way you can hop into another job these days. But i had had enough.
I never got outta bed for 3 days after that.
