Popular Post Rocknrolla Posted February 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2019 I've often been asked about my job in stream, so thought I would write about it here a little. I did talk about it a few times mainly when I had a drink or when I thought I didn't really care but as everything else about me is public I didn't really want my job to be. However I have now left this side completely so for anyone interested in what I used to do I thought I would share. Up until May last year for nearly 2 years I was manager of a charity funded unit which housed people with various physical and learning disabilities. For this role I should have had at least some years experience in it as well as a level 5 managers qualification, I had neither but signed up for the course and was trusted with the position as I had been with the organisation for some years. This role was amazing to me as not only had I just skipped basically at least 5 years worth of working with the aim to get to this role but I also knew I could turn it around and make a difference. We also helped people in the community adapt their homes and flats to accommodate their needs to be as independent as possible. The main reason I left ( I was still involved in this sector until recently) was because it was extremely demanding, not just with the residents needs but mainly with the staff who had years of grudges against the company and was near impossible to fire anyone. I would often have to help out as the staff sickness was a pisstake and because our budget was so small we couldn't bring in agency staff very often, as we would be basically be paying treble for that days wage. I was obviously doing all this casino stuff at the time as well, which had no impact on my performance but what it was bringing in from affiliation was also more than my wage, so overall just didn't make any sense to continue. So what do I do now, as well as all this we have other lil ventures and hopefully one day poker will be my main focus! 1 2 1 1 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0tsh0t87 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Bet you also were getting staff who were only there for a pay cheque and didn't care about the person they were supporting forgetting that it might be a job to them but it's someone's way of life your looking after plus people don't understand how stressful the job is when your not at work ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller26 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I honestly thought it would of been something to do with charity but wasn’t that interested to be honest. Do you not think it will be just more time to gamble ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh unfortunately there could only be myself or one other oncall, staff used this all the time to pass the buck rather than deal with the situation themselves. I got paid £1.50 per hour to be oncall and meant you couldn't drink, couldn't make any plans, had to be at max 30mins away at any time and always have the phone on. If nightstaff called in sick then unless agency had soemone free we had to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently 6 days no gamble and she'll continue to budget me. I've also had some wins which I've yet to post but they have also been banked. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest centipede Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 how come they were borderline unsackable? @Rocknrolla if I was in charge and anyone really took the piss they would be out the door. It would still take a lot though, as im easy going, but I cant stand when people dont pull their weight and leave it for others to work harder. I was always the one who had to cover and work harder in my jobs, so maybe ive built up a more personal resentment that needs be. but still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest centipede Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I used to be a chef, and head chef on the head chefs days off, and say we had 4 in the kitchen and 4 waiting staff, if a member of the waiting staff pulled a sickie, instead of them having one less and having to just work harder, a person was always recruited from the kitchen to fill in their place out front. So every single time it happened we were always slammed in the kitchen and understaffed. it used to drive me up the fucking wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once even went to the length of getting security footage from my wifes work to prove someone had blagged calling in sick, all I was able to do was give a verbal warning.

I do think people can be unfairly treated at work, but when the employees are obviously taking the piss then they should accept that theyve done wrong instead of trying to sue the company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
