I work 50+ a week taking care of a house hold of adults that have brain injuries. My job barely pays a living wage for a single person. Management wants to write us up for arguing with the participants and asks us to take on more work than we are legally allowed to do. I am exhausted of work as I haven't taken time off since spring last year. We are short-staffed and my coworkers make life hard for each other all the time. We break multiple health care laws a day due to staffing issues and I'm just tired of the grind to barely get by. I only make 10.75 an hour but clear 30k a year.
The pay isn't even a big issue. Sure it could be better and if it was we might have more people to staff the houses.
