I work in healthcare (residential homes with adults with disabilities and intellectual/mental health issues).
I was trying to do something nice today for a client by trying to arrange a ride to take her for a drive. The other houses I contacted blew my request out of proportion and started to text & call management to ‘tell on me.’
Management then called me to see wtf was going on. They then said I did nothing wrong and wasn’t in trouble and that next time to call them.
but I was so upset and frustrated with how it was handled that I told them I didn’t care what they had to say. I’m tired of being thrown under the bus and that other staff use me as a scapegoat when they don’t want to do their jobs. My bosses should have trusted that I was just trying to do an innocent thing instead of listening to the bullshit FIRST AND THEN calling me to clarify. I did nothing wrong. I was lucky they realized this in the end but what the fuck? I’m a grown ass adult who was trying to do something nice for a client who is wheelchair bound and hasn’t been out of the house in a month since her house doesn’t have appropriate transportation.
