Are you having an operation Gobby? I had NO idea.
Having spent all day teaching then being shouted at down the phone by the parent of a child, after a full week of having several children from another class added to mine and with a member of support staff down, this really irritates me. Shattered is sitting on your classroom floor crying at 4pm because you have spent all day dealing with a child who is verbally abusive towards staff, then you have 120 books to mark, plus a mandatory meeting, all before you get kicked out at 6pm. Shattered is emergency services or medical staff working double shifts to ensure their team keeps running. It’s retail workers on their feet for hours dealing with unpleasant, demanding customers. And yes, many people in these professions do their jobs with short or long term illnesses. I went in with a migraine on Tuesday because there would have been nobody to cover me. ‘Shattered’ is not posing for Instagram and filming ‘what I do in a day’ videos that could realistically be filmed in 5 minutes. This girl wouldn’t know hard work if it walked up to her and smacked her in the face. Absolutely every penny she earns is entirely undeserved.
Edited to add: what on earth makes these influencers think they’re special for not being paid for time off work? Most people don’t get paid for time off work.
