I work as a home manager of a group home for disabled individuals. Work has become something I literally dread if no for the individuals I care for whom I can honestly say I love like my own children. Needless to say we are understaffed and the house I manage has 8 boys all with varying degrees of handicaps. They have aever behaviors literally have had a bite taken out of my forearm and an individual eat it. That being said upper management is making us work alone. As salary I've been working that that home 24hrs straight another manager has worked 43 straight with no sleep and nobody would come to relieve him. I've begged for helped through text and email but get ignored, so we co tinie to work ALONE trying care for 8 ppl. People are getting hurt and we can't even provide adequate care. I recently went to higher up begged and complained was told I was a liar even after showing proof of circumstances were working under. My boss the program manger is supposed to cover whenever I can't I was out for 2 weeks due to surgery he spent a total of 4 hrs in the home why I was gone. He didn't even leave office and spent those 4 hours trying get someone else come in regular staff so he could leave. Coming back the boys had no groceries and none of monthly paperwork had been done. I tried going over his head to his boss but kept being referred back to him. Idk what else to do at this point I leave work in tears almost everyday which is always at least 12 hrs usually 16. This is neglect in my opinion 1 person can't properly care for 8 ppl. Im pretty sure the state ratio is 1 to 4, so we should always at least have 2. I know that was a long mess and I'm sorry. Do u think I should turn them into the state even doing so anonymously I feel like they will know it was me just because of how adamant and vocal I've been.about higher ups working 80 hrs every two weeks and me and my 3 staff are pulling 140 and getting no help. They like to threaten us with neglect when we step out of line or make a fuss. I don't want them to ruin my career and I don't want the people im caring for getting less care then they are already which Is the only reason I haven't just walked. Any thoughts anyone?
