Community Care Worker Fired Despite Medical Exemption Letters
Professional Observation from a Community Care Worker
I was fired from my support working job a few weeks ago because I medically could not get the booster after first 2 jabs injured me and was refused an exemption from MOH even though I had letters from my Dr and cardiologist, saying that it’s a risk. On Friday, I bumped into a little old lady I use to look after, she started crying and sounded desperate in her voice. She told me “ I have had no one to help me since you have gone” that is 5 weeks of no help! She continued to tell me she “hasn’t had her bed changed since then and my kitchen floor is messy and sticky due to spilt tea.” She hasn’t had washing done and is starting to run out of clean clothes. This is all the things I use to do for her to help keep her independent in her home.
She does not have children and her husband has passed away. She is still quite independent, and had me as her carer so she could remain so. She told me she rung the company and they told her they have no carers available. This is ridiculous, I have had 2 vaccinations and because I haven’t had the booster they would rather these clients suffer?!! My heart is breaking! It’s so wrong on so many levels.
