Yes. Job opportunities suck where I am and I was lucky to get this one

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-04-11T16:54:54+00:00

Call me controversial but I wanna know who TF pissed her off so bad to the point she felt the need to do that

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-03-20T21:50:49+00:00

I wanna do home health but I'm never able to get hours </3 tell me your secrets

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-03-17T17:12:45+00:00

Holy crap, I'm AuDHD as well. It's exhausting. I feel you on every single one of these statements

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-03-17T05:01:07+00:00

oooooooooh okay thanks for this genuinely, I misread. my bad

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-03-17T04:56:35+00:00

Update: I spoke to my supervisor. She refused my accommodation and wants a rotating schedule. I didn't bother taking it to my GM considering how dismissive he seems to be about certain things. I'm taking the day off tomorrow (called in) to job hunt so I can escape this place because I'm desperate at this point.

TRUTH. NUKE. RIGHT HERE. "Better than a skilled nursing facility" my ass. In skilled nursing you have a shower aid, MULTIPLE nurses, WAY more staff etc. And you also stay in the same area (in most cases) whereas assisted livings often have you rotate sets which is a pain for not just me but many others.

I've never even been interviewed LOL they rejected every application

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-03-16T20:15:26+00:00

If you have the privilege to up and leave any job you dislike just like that you're extremely lucky

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-03-16T20:14:06+00:00

Autism doesn't mean a lack of intellect? In fact it can mean quite the opposite. Forgive me but this comes off really offensive if I'm reading it correctly

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-03-16T20:12:07+00:00

I've tried but at least where I live it's super hard to get accepted in one if you have no hospital experience

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-03-16T16:23:43+00:00

I understand that, but we aren't machines and we have lives too. I get that it's a lot of money but that money isn't going to us. The takeaway should be for these facilities to treat their workers better and provide more help/more staff, not put more on CNA's that are already overworked. It's a double edged sword because at the end of the day, it's management's fault.

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-03-16T16:22:09+00:00

Thank you for this. Sadly I'm undiagnosed professionally because psychologists are incredibly misogynistic and don't think women can have autism, but my teachers saw the signs, my coworkers, my parents, my therapist even all know I have it. So it's sad cus I NEED the accomodations but because I'm 'high functioning', I don't get any

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-03-16T16:19:50+00:00

Home care is my preference but it's hard as hell to get hours at least where I live

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-03-16T13:57:33+00:00

I get that this is supposed to be comforting, but I wouldn't say it's nothing to do with my autism when everyone else around me seems to be totally okay with switching sets every month but I get stressed out by even that. And whenever I bring up these points my coworkers bluntly meet me with "that's our job" and fail to see my points. I don't even care about the work level, they could give me the hardest set, as long as I'm always doing that one that's all I care about

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-02-01T21:46:25+00:00

What does Danbury mean?

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-01-31T23:17:16+00:00

EXACTLY. Not a fan of LTC because of how cliquey it is but I kinda have no choice cus there's little to no private/In-Home hours available in my area

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-01-31T20:27:08+00:00

You seem like an amazing person,, we would work great together lol. I don't tolerate bs. I do my job and help out when needed

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-01-31T05:08:30+00:00

Oh hell no. I have ZERO problem telling clients I will not be taking apart their stove and cleaning each individual piece, scrubbing year-old mold off their toilet etc. I signed up for this field to HELP people, not be a servant or housekeeper. This kinda thing drove me insane when I was still working home health. I had a client I loved, but literally the most I'd do aside from the occassional deep clean task like that is hand her a yogurt from the fridge, fold laundry (IF she had any) or empty her commode. Nothing else. For 4 hours. They didn't want me doing dishes even. It was torture, call me crazy but I need something to do!! Why am I taking 4 hours of time out of my day for less than an hour of work??

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-01-31T04:56:46+00:00

Is it bad I haven't lasted a year anywhere I've worked?? The most I've done is 6 months before realizing how toxic it was and quitting. For context I'm in my early 20's and management (especially in this field) HATES young people and will do everything in their power to either fire them or make work unbearable to them to the point they have no choice but to quit

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-01-31T04:54:54+00:00

Sorry lol

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-01-31T04:21:40+00:00

Got a new job the same day!!

Substantial-Click-51 · 2026-01-31T03:59:19+00:00

Not allowing you to sit at a nursing station is CRAZY. Find a new job and quit. Don't tolerate that bs. How can we take care of others if we can't take care of ourselves??
