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.

Re: Need to vent

On our way home from our short break.
it was nice but not long enough

it's getting hot. We decided to leave early.
Spoke to little A earlier. She asked if we were coming home and when I replied yes she was so excited. I bought her a few little things. A book and a beautiful little angel for our Christmas tree.

I'm feeling very emotional. Last night I had a build up of mixed emotions.

It's 8.30 and we're going to stop soon in a little town for a coffee and stretch.

hope everyone is doing ok as best you can.

So pleased @BlueBay that you were able to escape home for your short getaway. The gifts you bought for A sound lovely, and I know she will love them.

That is good news about your job @BlueBay , as you had wanted to be trained on the registers. And some extra shifts, if you want them, is also good. Let the news sink in once you are back home, and Im sure you will feel happier about it too. Change is hard, and sometimes we go into change kicking and screaming. But in the end, its all good.

Re: Need to vent

I agree with @Emelia8 ...... it has been such an emotional time for you @BlueBay, and despite the good news about the training for registers and extra shifts, you will still experience that emotional backwash ...... take care and slather on the self-care Hon.
