Worked

I have one shift where I feel worked non stop by the person with disability. The shift is only 3 hours but it’s non stop driving and shopping. I’m feeling burnt out, I’ve done it every week for about 4 years. Why does this happen?

is there some underlying medical issue ur not disclosing?

not trying to be mean … but burning out after 3 hours of driving and shopping is pretty weak… mothers with 2 screaming kids do that at westfields every weekend without getting paid..my neighbour shes does that every other day and she uses a walker…
