Boss considers sending "unprofessional" reply to entitled care worker: 'She wants to be paid for time she didn't work'

Working as a senior care employee isn't all bingo games and tea time. It's a difficult job, but for the right employees, it can be a satisfying endeavor. 

Some people are just born caregivers. They always want to help other people, and they tend to become doctors, nurses, or caregivers. They have this intrinsic desire to improve others' lives, and the world is a better place because of this. When Grandma or Grandpa have to move into a care facility, or they start to have a caregiver check up on them a few times per week, their families often keep a careful watch over the people helping them. 

Just because some employees have a desire to care for others, doesn't mean all of them do… Some are just in the job for the money, or they've had trouble finding employment elsewhere, and just do not like their caregiving gig. If you don't want to be a caregiver, you can easily see how this would become a nightmare job. These employees care for older folks, making them meals, helping them dress and take care of their daily hygiene, take them for doctor appointments or walks, and keep detailed notes about their progress. If an employee just wants a cushy, easy job, this is not the right line of work for them.
