So I am a housekeeper in the dementia unit of a nursing home. I stated multiple times in my interview that I wanted to do dining but I ended up in housekeeping and every time a position opens for dining, someone else gets it even though I request it. I have experience in dining as well, I did it before for about 2 years the first time I worked here and don’t need any training. I hate housekeeping because I have to constantly clean nasty toilets from dementia residents that don’t even know what a toilet is, and if you don’t know, old people shit a lot and piss everywhere. It’s disgusting and I only get $11.59 an hour to do this.
They also have zero coverage for me so I can barley request a day off. There is no one doing my job the days I do have off so I come back to a mess x10. Other workers don’t do their part of the job and leave me with even more to do and clean. And it’s always the disgusting stuff of course. I only get every third weekend off and have to miss a lot of events because they have no one to cover me. I requested a 2 days off a while ago for a trip somewhere that my friend is paying for for me and already got tickets and hotel booked, and they didn’t even deny my request, they just completely removed it like it was never there!! They did the same with my step brothers wedding instead of trying to work with me. If no one is here on my days off anyway why can’t I just have the days off that I need??
I know I can easily get a job elsewhere that is way better and pays more. I get two decent bonuses here within the next two and half months and I plan to stay for that at least and then go somewhere else. My issue is that I rent off of my employer (they own houses that they allow employees to rent) and I’m afraid if I quit they will find a reason make me leave. They are really nice about it all so maybe I’m just over thinking it? My lease is currently month to month, but I get a good deal and it’s a nice house. They allow pets no extra fee and do all the yard work for me. They plow and fix anything I need. I don’t want to mess that up by quitting this job. I do not know for sure that they will make me leave but I also don’t know that they won’t. If I bring it up just to see, I think that would be kind of giving them the idea that I am planning on doing that. What do I do?
