My cousin who got injured at work just found out she will be placed back in the home she got hurt at

Forget the fact that she has been requesting a transfer for 2 months in fear she would get hurt or that working with the client she might unintentionally hurt the client...

Forget the fact that her house manger was fired for gross incompetence and that her 30 day evaluation of my cousin as well as writing up my cousin ( which this manager gloated about.)

Now she finds out that the company has plans to place her back in the home she got hurt working with the same client.

The client wasn't violent but my cousin is short and unlike other client's she has worked with in the past she is having issues turning the client and dressing her in the morning.


My client knows they are trying to push her hand in a sense and make her quit.

force her to quit. If she quits, maybe she'll find work at a company that will treat her better.
