Sad to say but there are loads of uncare homes are allowed to do exactly as they want, and there was a story about the Holiday rights or Annual leave without pay, the pore excuse of the present government is allowing these companies to do what they want and that’s ok for them. We mean nothing.

I hope you have had some quality sleep. Caring hard workers like you will always be undervalued. Not by me though. You are a star.
