I handed my notice in with the same company, whilst I was employed as a Registered Care Manager in Hackney. The first time, I was refused permission from one of the Directors to take leave so I could get married. I asked for a meeting with the board and the MD. After the meeting, I was called back and told a terrible mistake had been made, I was given the leave I wanted and I was given a substantial pay rise back dated 12 months. So off I went, got married and stayed with the company a few more years. The second time, I handed in my notice, I decided to call it a day, after 2 ex-offenders in our care, seriously assaulted me at work and the commute to Kenya was getting expensive and tiring. I had no regrets leaving, even though I no longer received the big money, my health, marriage and sanity was more important. The company tried to bribe me to stay, but I’d had enough and left.
