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.

Re: Need to vent

I'm not copingt with all the shite going on in Melbourne

People congregating for religion gatherings 100 of them (why??)

they should be home

i bet positive cases now come out of this - which could possibly mean longer lockdown

i cannot handle this lockdown any longer

it is literally driving me crazy

to the point that i don't know what i will do

and the prime minister - fathers day flight!!!

how dare he catch a flight to Sydney to be with his wife and kids

what about the rest of us in Australia in lockdown - do we not care about our families

we can't catch a flight to go and see them

no we have to stay inside and only drive 5km!!!

WTF!!

what example is the prime minister showing.

so what if his kids missed out on seeing their dad

we all have family we would LOVE to see

oh no but he is the prime minister so he can

well i am sorry i am venting

but this is so wrong

where is he in this - leading by example

showing us he is empathic

no

OMG i am sorry @MDT

Well done for getting all of that done @BlueBay

You should be proud of yourself.

Re: Need to vent

Group hugs needed, I agree with everything and feel for you all. I didn't realise that arghhhhhh I want to see my Dad with terminal cancer grrrrr. Why is it different rules for footballers and politicians?

Hugs @Snowie @BlueBay @MDT
