I just started a new job last month as a caretaker. I was promised f/t hours but I only got 32 a week last momth. It was so that I could get benefits.
Then this month I only got 16 hours a week. I told them that I needed more hours so I was temporarily given more hours & one p/t shift. I was also given the opportunity to clean a filthy house that I complained about. That house smells like cat urine & feces was on the floor too. One of my regular first clients is no longer my client. I was told that they change clients around with caretakers a lot as the manager doesn’t want people getting to comfortable. I was never told why I’m no longer with my first client. I can’t help but wonder if he didn’t like me & complained to management. I just got a call fresh m one of the managers offering me a last minute shift. It was less than 3 hours notice. So for now there are no available hours despite us just having got a few new clients which makes no sense to me at all. I did call adult protective services & code violation la about the house that smells. My husband thinks that they found out or at least suspect it was me & are now trying to get me to quit so that they won’t have to pay me unemployment. He said that I made a big mistake having agencies investigating them as they probably did an investigation & know that you called to complain about things. Is he right or not? Did I probably do this to myself, or could this just be bad luck? Two clients are no longer with us. One left temporarily & the other one just got arrested. Also, I forgot to ask the manager who called me a question so I called her back & when I did, this guy answered & said that I got the wrong number! It was the right number. Was she trying to avoid taking to me? I asked her questions & I was a bit upset but in a normal way. I can’t help but womder if other employees badmouthed me as I made the mistake of asking people about hours. It’s not like I asked about their salary, but one lady said that’s private & that she didn’t want to discuss her finances. Is it possible that they want me to quit, or is this just maybe a coincidence? My coworkers don’t seem to dislike me btw, but I rarely talk much to most of them. Did I make a mistake by complaining about that house & asking people about their hours? No one but one lady seemed to be offended by my questions. |

It is highly inappropriate asking people about their hours, regardless if they were or weren’t offended.
But it’s not wrong to report the company for mistreating disabled population. It was the right thing to do. |

Is it possible that some of my coworkers complained about me? If so, wouldn’t someone have said something by now? Also, my husband thinks that they’re trying to get me to quit so that they won’t need to pay me unemployment. What do you think of that? He said that I made a big mistake mentioning anything as they have no intention of doing anything about the issues that I mentioned. He says companies only care about money & when they conduct an investigation & find out that it’s me. |
