This is how that went for me, working in the social/care sector (with kids):
During Covid we were praised. Except for a few weeks (in 2 years), we took care of their kids. Worked normally - not from home, obviously.
In this country, preschool childcare personnel are already on the bottom of the totem pole that is working anywhere in the social/care sector.
Of course, once we pushed through, we’d all get a raise! Right?!
Yeah, no, we got the corporate speech instead. How dire the situation is and that we must all pull together now: same shitty pay, more hours, less personnel, fewer days off. We had it too good so far (they really said that).
That was a few years ago already. I left the job. Other jobs aren’t better. Working with kids sucks in this country, because people with CEO-like delusions of grandeur want to “streamline” it, meaning fewer workers, more kids, less budget. The shitty pay isn’t even the most important thing tbh.
We all know where the bleeding dry of the social sector ends. This is the beginning.
The shitty pay isn’t even the most important thing tbh.
it absolutely is, even if it’s not pay that you receive, but if hospitals had more money, they could hire more employees and that’d reduce pressure on the single worker. That’s why it would still be a good thing.

Why couldn’t they work from home and take care of their own kids?
It’s a disease of greed and they won’t stop until it kills the very systems on which we all depend.
