Something’s not right

Need to vent

Need to vent

Hi everyone

I need to vent!!

I'm not coping

I'm not enjoying my new job. It's mundane, boring and triggering. For those who don't know, I was made redundant in my pharmacy job 4 days before Christmas. I then found a casual job at a supermarket. The job I do is very boring. I have far too much 'alone' time at work so my mind wanders to a lot of stuff. I asked my supervisor if i could learn the registers as thats what i would love to do. she replied that she couldn't until next year, don't know why as we are so short staffed and they need extras.

They advertise extra shifts or replacing a shift on facebook, which i really hate. but that's how they do it. i asked my supervisor if i could pick up extra shifts even though i don't know the registers. she replied yes thats fine that i would still do cleaning.

The other day a staff member posted she needed someone to do a shift. i was the first one tyo reply and accept the shift. another girl replied after me. the staff member replied back to me saying she would give that shift to the second girl as i don't know tyhe registers. I was so annoyed, angry and then upset. I feel used, and discriminated.

The problem is I am 'too scared' to confront my supervisor and ask again as i don't want the other member to get into gtrouble. so this means that i can't get any extra shifts until i learn the registers.

it is so wrong

the other issue i am having is seeing the old pharmacy customers. it's not an issue in that i see them, they love to talk. some still didn't know i had gone!!! but each time i see them and they say 'oh i am sorry to what happened to you' i get upset, hurt angry at the new owners. i miss the girls i used to work with and the job.

working for a much much bigger organisation is hard. there is so much clicks, so much politics and crap. i try to go in and do my job and go home.

but with so much time on my hands at work i start to think negatively.

i have recentyly had terrible vertigo, a 5 day migraine and today again another headache. i decided to call in sick and was spoken to so rude and short by the supervisor. it's like she doesn't believe me when i call in sick. and my anxiety is extremely high in having to ring her.

i don't have the confidence to leave and get another job. i feel i am not good enough

i am sorry to vent, i know a lot of you are struggling with your own issues. and that i should be thankful that i do have a job, as a lot of people have lost theirs.

All unpacked and got my little Holly back home.

But its really cold and windy, and I'm freezing today.

Sorry you are feeling so down ... are you feeling any better since you posted 3 hours ago?

I'm sorry @Emelia8 @MDT @Eve7 i replied before but somehow it didn't go on. Must be me.
I'm not bad I think it's this lockdown and new job that I'm feeling down. Working tomorrow 9-2pm

dont like working Saturday's but I have no choice right now. It's good money so I'll do it for now. Just hope my back doesn't get sore.

Hi @BlueBay I don’t like working weekends either but I’ve now agreed to do every second one for the next few months.

I hope your back holds up.

Hi @BlueBay 😄

I havent been around much myself lately. But like you, I havent seen or heard from Dec (I think) since her second op.

@Owlunar I'm hoping your second surgery in a week went well and you are in much less pain now, and recovering well

How are you going today @BlueBay ... I think you worked today?

Emelia 🌷

@Emelia8

yeah i did work today and considering we're in lockdown there were so many people around. A line outside a coffee shop, just to buy a coffee!!! It's crazy.

anyway, i worked until 2pm had to do a few deliveries to nursing homes on my way home. I'm stuffed. my back is sore and tonight will be an easy night. not sure what we're having for dinner. I am just tired of life, tired of trying to get better, i do lose hope.

anyway next week will be the test - 2 days in a row working 10-7pm. I have a feeling that my backache could be due to fibroids. I am seeing my GP next week so I will discuss it with him.

How are you my friend?

@Owlunar may be reading along but not in the space to post at present @BlueBay - she seems to have logged on yesterday. Hope you are okay @Owlunar

Re: Need to vent

Hey @BlueBay no I haven't spotted @Owlunar at all. But haven't been around a lot the past few days.

I'm glad you're still soldiering on with work. Aside from the shock to the body, how is work going? Are the people you work with good? Is the job interesting? How are you finding getting out and earning extra money?

Re: Need to vent

Hey @saltandpepper

the people at work are nice. One lady is very loud

the owner pharmacist is nice

some customers give me the sh..s

but most are nice

abd some tell me the life stories

this weeks pay will be really good as I worked an extra day.
it's about 15 min drive from home so not too far

No job is very monotonous. Take customers prescriptions in. Serve customers.
clean dust and put stock away.

how are you ?
