Hi All,
Just looking for some advice for someone I know. I said I'd try to help them out as I think what they believe is wrong.
They have been in the same job for the last 20 years. It was originally for the council, but a couple of years ago, it got taken over by a Charity under TUPE. Anyways, her job is working in a rehab for people with mental issues.
The problem is is that the stress of it all is finally getting to her. She sees people trying to commit suicide (hanging themselves, slitting their wrists etc), people dying, people throwing their lives away on drugs etc on a regular basis. This has finally got to her and with 5 years to go to retirement, she's worried that she'll lose her pension. She just cares too much about the people and where she used to be able to distance herself from it all years ago, she keeps losing people that she looks after regulary and she can't take it anymore.
Anybody got any idea on if this could be true? She told me that it's a superannuation council pension.
Cheers for any help/advice that anybody could provide.
Dips.
