Hi everyone. Sorry in advance if my grammars not great. Been a rough day.
I work at a retirement home. Have for about 6 years, amd volunteered here for 4 years before hire. I have known my boss this whole time, and she's become a close friend during this time. She has been on and off work for about the past year due to health, and today discovered she has cancer and has no idea when or if she will return. I have been acting manager in her place while she has been out. I loved my job, but after the treatment from managers I am so overwhelmed and tired. We have been short staffed and have had three people in the last 5 months quit our department due to work issues. I have asked our general manager for help, or extra hours and a boost in pay to help retention and had no help. Recently, my health has declined as well and contracted covid at work. So I had a week off with no pay. My coworkers in my department are great, and have been an absolute help but I am so tired of being expected to do 2 jobs with no bump in pay or recognition. So I have applied at other jobs to see whats out there. I have a meeting with HR next week and going to request to be oncall to help train while they find my replacement. I love this job but have been shown how little I mean to them time and time again lately.
Sorry for the long post!
