No Angie Im sure its not first day nerves, I have honestly never hated a job so much in my life. I cant put my finger on what it is I dont like about it, no one was nasty to me, they were all ok.
Its not what I thought I applied for, I thought I was going into supported living in the service users own homes, but this place is something inbetween a locked door unit and sheltered housing scheme. I just couldnt figure out what it was, it is in a lovely setting like most sheltered schemes are but then you have to have a fob to get in and out of the place. It is more secure than Lea Castle where I used to work (and that was a secure forensics unit) but it is classed as supported living.
Then you hear staff moaning openly about the management, and one girl said to me "you will make up your own mind about the staff here, Im not going to say anything to you, your make your own mind up".
The fobs you use show on a computer where you are at all times, very much like big brother is watching you!!
I just dont think theres going to be any settling in to this one, the thought of going in today really makes me feel like crying!!
