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.

Gosh no, @BlueBay ... I do not think you write too much here. Provided you are comfortable in writing about your day, and you have no privacy concerns ... then keep writing. Personally, I enjoy reading your posts

Enjoy your walk, and I hope you get some good news about your hernia surgery soon.

Oh @BlueBay ,

This is your thread! Of course you are welcome to write as much as you like! IF, anyone had a problem with it, do you think they'd continuing coming back to support your posts?

No my dear. It is perfectly okay to write as much as you want 🙂

Hello @BlueBay

Everything that you are saying on the forum and in this thread appears to me to be consistent with the objectives and aims of the forum.

The way that I see it is that each of us is here for support, nurturing, encouragement,..........and those are the reasons that we are here as givers and receivers. Sometimes we have more to give, other times we need more support.

From what I see, you give and receive in turn. And I said on another post, that what we need often helps others to have a distraction and diversion from their own concerns. Paradoxically, we can be helping others in their need by expressing our own needs. Hope that I have said that clearly.

I'm off to bed now. It is nearly 1.30 am. So, I am well past "pumpkin time".

With My Best Wishes

and the hope that you have a peaceful and restful sleep

Re: Need to vent

@BlueBay Sorry to hear this my sister. Glad to hear you are booked in for surgery but its understandable that you are anxious. What have you been up to today?

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

Hello @BlueBay

Really pleased that there is progress and arrangements in place for the surgery.

Hoping that those arrangements provide you with an added feeling of stability and direction.

Assuming all goes well, it will hopefully mean that you will feel more re-assured, able and personally effective in whatever your plans are for the coming year.

With Best Wishes
