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

Good job @MDT

Hopefully you can chill for at least a bit.

Well done for getting to the next level in a job application. I am sure you will do fine for the maths test.

I have faith in you 😉

Re: Need to vent

Whichever you decide @MDT

I am sure it will work out fine.

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

just did the practice @Snowie
was bad, really bad
Dunno if i want to do the test for real now. Just going to get depressed. It's higher level mathematics and I'm pretty bad at that.

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

oh dear @MDT

Sorry to hear that.

Is there any other practice ones that you can do before the real one at all?

Or can you get help from someone?

I wish I could help you somehow.

Re: Need to vent

Just showed my dad
He was laughing at how ridiculous the questions were. He had didn't have much clue. Neither did I. @Snowie
Lol. the job description had nothing of this sort in it so it's a bit of shock. I dunno if I just should do it now and get it over with and then move on with life and not think about it ever again.
OR I just do it tomorrow and instead I do uni stuff today/tonight
Might take the latter.

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

Maybe just sleep on it for the night @MDT

You seem to have enough to do with uni stuff.
