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.

Hi @BlueBay

That's rough - but necessary - I know - and not at all pleasant

Whether it might be COVID or some other enteric bug they need to protect everyone from that - it's rough on you - I know - and I would hate it too - but who wants to pass such a problem onto other people esp in hospital?

Confusing though - I think you were constipated last week and surely you had something to move it along and bingo - it worked - I get that - what the hell! But here you are

Last week I ate something sus and spat out the second mouthful and thought - "If that upsets my stomach at least I will know what it was" and threw the rest out - and I did get an upset stomach and cancelled my social visit - in good conscience I could not risk passing anything at all onto someone who works in Aged Care. I wouldn't do it. As horrible as it feels I know you are a decent person and when you think of it you will understand and put it behind you

Your mother again - you can't win with her - I know you are assimilating this into your life but it's a bitch. Maybe she suffers from foot-in-mouth disease and can't help herself - I am sure my mother regretted what she said some of the time but I know it hurts

You feel rotten - I know - when I was in hospital last I had very little of my own stuff - toothbrush, comb and a novel - and thank goodness - my phone - yes - I ran up my data playing games and it kept me going. Can you play games on your phone? It might help if you download a few and pass the time

I really care - I can hear you thinking - what's next? Life is no fun at all and imo gastic and intestine pains and that sort of thing is among the worst things

It's okay to feel rotten - just not okay being so isolated - I hear you

Dec

Re: Need to vent

Hi @BlueBay, that sounds really tough. I'm hearing the pain, frustration and invalidation it sounds like you've been experiencing. Please know it's ok to feel that struggle and it's ok to let it out with a cry. It's great to see you reaching out for support here on the Forums as well, and I'm wondering if there's anyone in the offline world you could talk to who might be a little more helpful?
