So i work as a nursing home housekeeper and i’m required to clean 50+ rooms a day. I have pretty severe asthma and i’m also required to clean the covid lockdown rooms, essential risking my life for $12 an hour. i’ve been sick since last week and i was still asked to come into work yesterday and about two hours in I threw up and full on passed out on the ground. Luckily the nurses were there to get me in a chair and take care of me. They ended up calling my boss and left a voicemail telling her what happened. I went home and slept all day because i’m still incredibly sick. Fast forward to today i schedule a doctors appointment and call off work and then i receive a text from my
boss that says “Bring a doctors note when you come back or you’ll get written up after the situation yesterday. And for the future don’t leave without contacting me directly. I didn’t see the nurses voicemail until 1 PM. Thanks.”
i’m so tired of this job and wake up every morning crying because i know i’m about to go in and be mistreated. my partner has been begging me to quit and i definitely am going to be after this. i’m not even sure if i want to put my two weeks in at this point because they don’t give me any sort of respect so why should i?
