... (we'll call her "Sue") and they get to discussing "That Employee" (we'll call her "Karen"): you know the one - takes 30 minute loo breaks, disappears for an hour and no-one knows where she is, always last in line to do anything. The one no-one wants to work with, or to work on stuff she has done in the past. That Employee.
Anyway, Sue's daughter still works there, so the gossip gets back to Sue, and she passes it on the Herself. The company has had enough of Karen, and is building up a paper trail with the aim of firing her when they have enough evidence to forestall any legal objections.
Karen appears to have noticed that the game is up, and has found a new job, doing the same thing - so she applies online, and gives her reasons for wanting to change job as basically "the management here are sh*t".
Unfortunately, she didn't notice that the company she is applying for is not only in the same group of care homes, but ... is the care home she is currently "working" for ... and her application lands right on the home managers desk. 
Oh, I'd have loved to hear that conversation!

Burning bridges is never worth it. Can't speak from experience, but it's just not something that should ever be done.

So they already posted her job in anticipation of firing her... and she applied for it?
Seems like they should let her accept it at lower or same wage and have her start fresh with a probationary period that allows for termination at end of probationary period without any reason by either party.
Fresh Start!

No, there are very few "single employee" jobs in a care home, especially a fairly big one (and this one has 100 beds if you include the Alzheimer's ward) : you have multiple nurses, care assistants, activity organisers, kitchen staff, domestics, and so on - about the only single job is Home Manager.
