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

Sounds like an awesome day @BlueBay !

Its great to be able to see people as well as go on outdoor walks!

I feel so much better after walks. I'm glad you can go with hubby. Something I wanted to also say is that you know how you said hubby finds it hard to speak? It's been said that walking and car trips are the best times to talk because it is 'less direct'. Both parties are facing forward when walking or driving - so it's supposedly easier to talk. Just a thought!

As for my day today, I worked a few hours this morning, then spent the day at the park with my nephew and niece. I then took them for a bike ride, had dinner, set up a coding express train set with them, then sent them home. We all had a great day!

Hi mum @Shaz51 ! Missing you! I'm glad to hear of your day too. Hope Mr Shaz is ok.

Re: Need to vent

Well mum @Shaz51 , as far as I'm concerned, your status should be changed to 'forum mum'. I love how you take everyone under your wing and you have such a big heart for everybody even when you are having it tough. It's something we can all aspire to.

Im not just saying this. I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

Re: Need to vent

Forum mum sounds very nice @BPDSurvivor

What do you think my @Jynx xxxx

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

That is unbelievably cute, and had I the power to change it I would do so immediately!

It even gives me an idea to pitch - that once you reach the next level of status you could choose from a few different names, like 'Forum mum' or 'Cuppa Captain' hehehe

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

Haha I love both @Jynx , @BPDSurvivor , @BlueBay

" forum captain cuppa mum " 🤣😂🤣😂

Mum for everyone ❤
