Work has become something I literally dread if no for the individuals I care for whom I can honestly say I love like my own children.

They have aever behaviors literally have had a bite taken out of my forearm and an individual eat it. That being said upper management is making us work alone. As salary I've been working that that home 24hrs straight another manager has worked 43 straight with no sleep and nobody would come to relieve him.

I’m leaving the country on March 16 to take a career break. My company doesn’t like, and I don’t like them. I want to be able to collect unemployment while I travel. Should I ask for a rif (layoff) or should I try to get fired?
