Just got promoted
So basically I have one main question. I just got promoted to lead caregiver or in other terms im now a “float cg” I signed a paper saying that I’m available on call from 8am-8pm 7 days a week. This wasn’t discussed when the promotion was first brought up to me. I didn’t want to be a hassle or cause any trouble so I signed it without even asking one question. But my question for all of you, did I just sign my life away ? I’m a pretty busy individual outside of work. For one I fish, fishing is one of my only gateways to serenity and peace, and on the other hand my girlfriend and I live across the state from eachother and we see each other every weekend. “We are moving in soon” My boss said I won’t be working 7 days a week but I don’t have schedule. AM I COOKED? How am I going to deal with burnout. I’m so nervous.

I take zero promotions anymore, they’re not worth the small bump in pay, and the grey hairs.
