I am so goddamn tired and every muscle in my body is sore. Weve all been pulling overtime and double shifts, and doing extra work for people who needed a day off or got sick (from exactly what were doing) because we've been understaffed for three months straight. Now, I've only been working here three months, and I was hired to fill in for one of the people that quit. But three more people quit after I started, and only one joined, and really if we don't want to work any more double weeks we need 4 more people. This is a nursing home kitchen, so it's not like we can say "I don't feel like coming in today, I'm too tired" unless It puts us in danger of not working ever again or were contagious, because our residents need to eat. Corporate doesn't give a fuck about the situation. The whole reason people are leaving is because they're being offered more money for less work at other companies, but corporate refuses to let us offer more. We have posters and web postings everywhere, zero applicants according to my manager. They also refuse to let us hire a temp staffing agency to at least do the grunt work like washing dishes. We are so fucked. I am beyond exhausted, and stressed out, and angry, and at this point the only thing keeping me here is the need for health insurance, which finally kicked in on the first, but I haven't had a chance to schedule any appointments, because I'm too goddamn busy!
