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

They look lovely @BlueBay and will, I'm sure, be much appreciated. You are so clever, as well as being a very kind, thoughtful and generous friend.

I can understand your anxiety around your fast approaching hernia surgery. I was reminded yesterday that it was one year since my breast cancer surgery. I recall be highly anxious beforehand too. There is no fun at all in being in hospital, or having a general anaesthetic. But it will fix your hernia, you will recover quickly and you will feel so much better for it.

Hello @BlueBay

The blanket set looks really lovely . I also support the sentiments offered by @MDT and @Emelia8 .

For the surgery, I suggested recently to @Appleblossom or @Bunniekins that it is an idea, from my own experience, to consciously and mentally hand the process over to the anaesthetist and surgeon, before the operation and trust them to apply their skills on your behalf.

This video clip,

that was also suggested at the time { I think by @Former-Member }, of the process of easing yourself into the surgery, may also be of help. Obviously, these are just suggestions that may help in exploring what you will feel comfortable with and helps you.

In between then and now,

My Very Best Wishes

@HenryX
