Good news! Just got a phone call from work, the client found the missing $$$ (and from the sound of it it was $$$) so that's a relief to say the least. Change in the attitude of the carer lead was... a thing. But a cordial conversation was had and she's taken me off that client, so all well there.
I'd put in an application to join a union this morning and I'll keep on with it, as knowing aged care odds are that Something Will Happen.
But now I can do dinner tonight and really enjoy it, not just try and use it as a distraction!
Working in the community can be great, it can also be shit. Glad the dollars were found, but it does make you feel like garbage to have your professional integrity questioned. Union protection is a good idea.
Exactly to all. I forget who said "I'm utterly and abjectly pissed off" but it summed up my state of mind!
Just join your union anyway, it's always a good thing and they need the support too, to advocate for you. Forget cmfuckup, and focus on your own union and the good things they can do for you. :)
I'm so glad this has worked out, and that they know you had nothing to do with it! Enjoy your day and all the beautiful things in your life, you deserve the relief and peace!
I did! I did want to join the UWU for a number of reasons but the guy I spoke to said they wouldn't take me on with a pre existing situation so I went for the HWU... we'll see how it works out.
Thank you - contemplating a nice beach walk and a cakey thing, and tonight is dumplings! ๐
Fantastic news.
How does $$$ go missing anyway and I'm guessing they tried to blame you for it going missing?
I hope they issue an apology to you as it sounded like you weren't going through a nice time if you're also considering joining a union for protection.
I think you should treat yourself to something delicious tonight.
Old people do be forgetting things lol
That gets me so angry.
It seems as a society we have forgotten that naming and blaming people can have serious consequences so you better be bloody sure. It used to be a sin to defame.
Exactly what StudSpud said, though in this case it was a little older and with health issues. And it did look like I was at least under suspicion.
Anyway apology has been extended and an Uber eats voucher has been sent, so that's something.
I was going out for dumplings tonight, so now I can go and enjoy myself rather than try and distract myself!
