As above I guess. I'm really unhappy about the situation I find myself in.
My direct boss has got covid, we work in a care home and there are multiple staff off with it. I need to cover her shifts because there is no one else to do it. I don't really want to cover the shifts, as it increases my risk of getting covid and having to be off, for which I WILL NOT be paid unless I take annual leave, which isn't ideal as I am using most of my leave this year to go on holiday in September.
I'm so fed up. I work for a multi million pound care company, who can easily afford to pay their staff if they catch covid AT WORK. They rely on staff NEEDING overtime pay, not wanting to let their colleagues down, having to take the annual leave option because people can't afford to lose a weeks pay.
A year ago we were clapping for carers here in the UK, now those very same 'key workers' are left high and dry.
