I'm looking for advice for my partner.
He works at a care home for people who cannot care for themselves due to mental disabilities.
Lately its been getting pretty awful there. I will spare you the details of the drama but in short, clients being abused, manager quit, wishy washy about hours. The owner of the company has showered praise on my partner for his hard work at the home, which made some other employees pissed and have been making his life difficult.
My partner wants to quit. But its not possible right now. We need his half to survive and no other jobs around this tiny town. But we are looking.
The problem now since the manager quit is that one of the other higher up workers (lower than manager, higher than my partner) keeps calling him 10 minutes before his scheduled shift and telling him, “We don't need you today so just stay home”
One or two days off was nice, but it's been a couple weeks now that he's only worked 1 day.
Are they trying to get him to quit? Can they just cut down his hours to 5 a week? Is there anything we can do?
We live in Michigan by the way.
Thank you for reading and this safe space to ask questions!
