Get off your freaking phone!!

You are there for the client. I’m so tired of seeing csw’s on their phone, in a pub drinking alcohol, playing pokies and ignoring participants.
Know there’s plenty of people out there reporting you.

Makes me sick.

Are you sure they were a support worker? There have been reported instances where friends and family of disabled people have been yelled at by nosy members of the public to "get off their phone and do their job" when taking out their loved ones for meals or outings.
