I’m posting to this community since it seems to be the best for advice, with people who are actually sane & not completely brainwashed by capitalist bullshit.
So I finally got hired for my first job after a whole year of being unemployed which is great! (During that time I had applied to so so so many jobs that in hindsight probably ignored my application, I live in a rural area where finding a job is like finding a needle in a haystack) My parents were on my ass about it the whole time and kept threatening to kick me out.
The job is working with people who have intellectual disabilities/ Developmental disabilities. On the job listing there was nothing like having to do gross things like changing diapers, or wiping people asses.
I made it through the last interview, and the interviewer asked “are you okay with changing diapers and helping people with personal hygiene” I panicked in my mind and said yes, but honestly I cannot, it’s disgusting.. That’s genuinely something I cannot do or else I’ll throw up all over. I’m absolutely okay with changing peoples clothes and helping people bathe but when it comes to shit and piss that’s a different story + I’m not getting paid enough to do disgusting things like that. I felt like if I didn’t answer yes I wouldn’t get the job, which would disappoint my parents.
I start around the 15th of September and am freaking out!! I don’t know what to do!! I need the job desperately, and cannot quit because a girl needs to be able to eat & live but don’t want to change peoples shitty diapers!! I don’t want my parents to kick me out of the house and need the money so bad! I have no clue what to do anymore..
I’m wondering if maybe I could somehow avoid changing shitty diapers and doing other stuff? I can’t afford to be fired either. My bank account literally has 1$ in it.
