        I saw abuse working in this industry there. I reported it to 3 different agencies+ government. Agencies sent people to document the conditions, but the facility was warned they were coming! Nothing was done!I stopped the abuse when I saw it on a daily basis and my hours were cut.

        To make me quit. It worked. I quit the entire industry out of disgrace, and I warned everyone about it. I won’t stand for abuse anywhere!

        This was always an inevitable outcome in a reality where governments and media are promoting agism.

        That's disgusting, how can you work at a place that cares for the sick and act this way? And these people manage to commit these acts and remain unseen by other staff... This is so low, I'm disgusted.

        To all the 'young' ones out there, you may be all great and strong now. You'll see when you're old later. I hope you get a taste of your own medicine. What goes around comes around. Await your karma! No law needed. Enough said. #respecttheaged
