Here's a prediction for the social care sector in 2021.....Mass resignations and everybody from Nurses to care staff walking away

Especially after this verdict today from the UK Supreme Court ruling in favour of employers with regard to when 'Sleep-in' carers should be paid their hourly rate rather than the now decrepit 'Sleep-in allowance payment' of £40.

Siding with employers is one thing. But when 'wealthy' charitable institutions who have been allowed to take over more and more care services in the UK since 1983 are saying if approved it might bankrupt some providers......

War is on the way !

£40 is more than I've had for sixteen years of caring... 🤷‍♀️

@HootyTheNightOwl Yeah carers save governments a fortune and should be entitled to a salary and pension rights let alone a living wage !
@Picklebobble2 I'll never get to retire when I'm old and past it. I don't have enough pension credits... and my body is too knackered to work a traditional job these days as well.

I guess that I'll be ending my days making stuff to sell eventually.
