I worked at a care-home once that was so disgustingly, CQC-red-flaggy filthy that at one point our chairs in the office were coated with bin-bags, to wade us from a bit of poo that one member of staff swears he saw someone push out. I … ya. I lasted 6 weeks and never looked back at that sh*thole. That place was rotten to the core in terms of management. Always was (there were times when it went without official managers for 6 months each, leaving staff to even organise their own working rotas). No amount of being nice enough as an individual manager and bringing in doughnuts on a Tuesday-afternoon, which I couldn’t even eat because they’d traipsed up the breath of stairs so filthy even a rabid dog would deserve better than to eat off-of that, could change that.
At the end of the day, if you’re not comfortable eating even your own food in there because of how dirty the building is and you’re sitting on bin-bags, you have got to pause for a minute and ask yourself why you’re working there and whether what that job is doing for you is worth your dignity. The best thing was just to get the hell out of there as quickly as possible. I’d advise anyone stuck in that position, once they’ve got a few weeks of experience behind their belt, to leave immediately. That place was like something out of some low-budget horror-film, and there’s no cap there. I ain’t even exaggerating. Kim and Aggie would’ve had a field-day.
