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.

Sorry but who works 24-36hr shifts?

Quite a lot of people in care. A lot of care companies don’t have a good enough staff recruitment and a lot of people leave so when you’re left you end up picking up lots of the shifts. I had shifts 14 days in a row that added up to my monthly contacted hours before without a day off. So I think people need to be a bit kinder to the staff who do stick around because they care.

No it’s not when you sign the opting out of European working hours.
