They hurt and abuse both their staff and their clients in the following ways...
They train staff in mandatory abuse report, rights of the individuals, the importance of friendship relationships and the sad reality of lack of natural supports, friendships and family in the lives of most of the disabled individuals we serve and make it well known how valuable and important our relationships with these clients are to them. They even go so far as to encourage us to genuinely befriend and form appropriate and meaningful bonds with our individuals we support.
Then as a staff if you actually take all that to heart and become a good, genuine, platonic, close friend with an assigned client they literally fire you and poison the friend/client against you to break all your hearts and withhold/steal all your rightfully earned PTO to instead of clarifying their position and retraining or just accepting the mutual friendship relationship 2 grown consenting adults have every right to be in.
It breaks and hurts multiple people and hurts employee moral when you see coworker after coworker get marched out for often petty or normal excusable mistakes or misunderstandings that could literally happen to any of us and the more often you see it happen the more you're left wondering if it's only a matter of time before it happens to me.
What's worse is they implemented a human rights violating covid shot mandate and mask mandate that forces workers to have to give up their rights to medical freedom, bodily autonomy and medical privacy!
