WORKING WITH BRS FOSTER KIDS

Jerked Around

Feeling jerked around at work. Management keeps treating me like one of the youth with honey words and empty promises.

"You are so good at your job, we got you!"

"How did you do that!? What would we do without you!"

All words, no change. Today they changed the weekend schedule WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK! So as soon as I pull up to location #1, I checked the team app to see if there were any updates on the runaways. Low and behold they changed me to another location! I was crying by the time I pulled into location #2. I felt and feel so worthless; the and now. It doesn't seem to matter where you work these days. Management just does NOT care about the layworker who does most of the work.

Some context since I was asked.

I work at a foster care group home. We work with BRS kids - kids who are not bad enough for a secure facility, but are too much for regular foster homes. Most of these kids have drug/alcohol/sex addictions when they are taken from their homes by CPS. Many of them will run away for an hour or days to get high, steal alcohol or prostitute themselves. We try to give them a safe home, try to rehabilitate such actions, and teach them skills for when they age out.
