Care Givers: Burn Out
I am a professional Caregiver, I work as a personal care attendant in a long term care facility. Due to covid I have been working very long hours with very little rest inbetween. I am mandated at least 2 times a week. How have you (professional care givers) been dealing with Burn out and management that threats to fire you if you complain about working an unsafe amount of hours?
Hmm... that definitely doesn't sound like a healthy work environment. When I feel burned out I take time to myself... it's the only way I can recharge and be good for myself and others.
A job is a form of a relationship, even if it is one based around the exhange of money/services. If your workplace's response to you expressing your personal needs is retaliation, that is deeply unsettling. I don't know your life circumstances well, but perhaps you can consider what alternative options you have available to you.
