How did visa restrictions impact Rona Cordero's ability to bring her family to the UK and her job performance?

Visa restrictions made it stressful for Rona Cordero to bring her family to the UK, as her ability to do so was tied to her job performance and securing a permanent contract. This pressure affected her job performance by making her feel vulnerable and compelled to comply with her managers' demands, even when sick, for fear of jeopardizing her visa status.

Rona Cordero faced significant stress due to visa restrictions, which were directly linked to her job performance and the need to secure a permanent contract to bring her family to the UK. This situation made her feel vulnerable and under constant pressure to perform flawlessly at work, as any mistake could threaten her visa status and her ability to reunite with her family. The stress of this situation was compounded by the need to adapt to a new work environment and cultural setting, which included overcoming language barriers and dealing with a challenging work environment. Despite these challenges, she persevered to maintain her job and eventually managed to bring her family to the UK. However, the ongoing pressure and a change in her ward manager led to a hostile work environment, further impacting her job performance and mental well-being.
