She explained that she got a care attendant job as a side hustle as she already had a 9-5 work in Canada. On the first day of work, she noticed her employer had a health challenge that put her in pain daily and tried to be empathetic by always apologising.

@mmariaammx's employer called her to order, noting that the constant 'sorry' gets on her nerves. She refused to listen and this got her sacked days later.
