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

@BlueBay You contribute to your family in so many ways (always helping and supporting others). You're working because everyday you're meeting a need and that is work. You're like me, in that you're too hard on yourself. Thinking of you my beautiful sister- you're awesome !!

Re: Need to vent

Never too late for a cuppa @Shaz51 😊

actually I'm out on the deck having another coffee.
I ended up in bed this morning feeling sad snd angry about my job/finance situation. I fell asleep for a while. I kept deciding whether I should go for a walk - I had to go to the chemist so I parked and walked first at the beach thdn crossed the road to the chemist.
just organised dinner - Mexican meatballs with rice.
do you know as much as I enjoy cooking I'm going yo tell the boys incl hubby that in the weekends they can cook.
I feel that because I'm home "it's my duty" to cook.
hubby hime soon so we may go down rbe beach for a sit.
I had a chat online this morning - I'm feeling sad that I could cry and angry that I could self harm and scream.
hope you are all well.
join me for a coffee
