Yet another resignation story.

“As of 31st March 2022, 3pm I will cease turning up to work”. Boss went on holiday after signing off on my bereavement leave. No one showed up to cover me and I missed my aunt's funeral. Took Monday-Wednesday sick (UK). Showed up for shift 3pm today, boss (still on holiday) rescheduled me to work until 8am Saturday. That's 39hrs straight, with 2 sleeps in there. I'm a carer for adults with autism and challenging behaviour, I'll maybe get 6hrs sleep overnight, that's doable for 24hrs… but the people I care for won't be getting the best out of me and deserve better. She's got an email waiting… Still got 21 days annual leave, can I just go home now?
