Please keep in mind that this is the fault of your employer, not you.
Yeah, and I'm constantly angry about it. Constantly. It shocks and disgusts me that medical professionals who have nearly two hundred residents relying on staff to provide the basic cares and activities of daily life have run a cost analysis to determine the absolute minimum amount of staff they can get away with before they get sued for violating state law by understaffing; this perpetual state of being understaffed both destroys the morale of the people working, and creates undignified and dangerous living conditions for the people under our care.
Also, as I write this, it just occurred to me I've never heard anyone in management refer to them as people; just residents. Fuck me. Anyway.
This greed isn't my fault, but I'm one of the only people serving as a buffer between the dangerous inevitable consequences of that greed and the people who suffer because of it.
