Svantaggi
They act like they own you at all times. I was working 48 hours a week. Then they called me and told me they needed me to do 70 hours. When I told them that was unreasonable they fired me. I was a loyal employee for two years and did more than my fair share of last minute on-call work. I am also a full-time student, which I told them from the beginning. They were fine with it until they didn't care that what they were asking me to cover also conflicted with my class schedule. What do they expect me to do, flunk out? I wasn't willing to give up my nearly completed degree to take anymore of their crap. They also send out condescending e-mails reminding us to take care of ourselves. I am sure that many caregivers wish they had more time off so that they could actually do that. Unfortunately, the overworked environment and crappy attitudes lead to burn-out very quickly. It is sad.
