Supervisors will bait employees with large sums of money just to advance themselves without any consideration for their fellow laborer’s welfare.
Regardless, there are people who will do anything for money.
About two months ago now, there was a text message that went out at a place of work for caregivers.
I didn’t believe my eyes when I saw the text advertise four-hundred dollars a day for a Caregiver case.
The message didn’t sound right to me. For all the years I worked in health care I never saw a case offered for four-hundred dollars a day.
I contemplated on the text, rationalizing what could be up. The only explanation I quickly came up with was the case had to be a Covid-19 positive client.
A while later, another text was sent out acknowledging that the case in need was indeed for someone who was Covid-19 positive.
The agency did not initially mention that vital information. They began to take loads of virus infected people, informing caregivers of PPE gear located at the homes of these clients for them to utilize.
No employee was obligated to accept any of the Covid-19 cases against their will. It was a free choice to any caregiver who worked for the agency.
One employee told me a supervisor sent her along with another coworker on a case at a hospital yet didn’t inform them ahead of time that the patient/client was positive for Covid-19.
I understand these people who have the virus need medical attention and have to be treated but it is the supervisor’s responsibility to inform their laborers in this particular life-threatening situation.
People have to be extra careful and look out for themselves because when money is involved unscrupulous professionals as well as ordinary individuals will generally put one at risk within a heartbeat.
