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 If you hide away, what is your hidey hole like?

Is it a warm, cosy cottage? A seaside shack? Who is there with you (or are you alone)?

I would totally come visit with tea and cakes if you'd have me

Re: Need to vent

Sorry @Bow you're feeling the same

Re: Need to vent

It's okay to want to be rescued. I feel like that too at times @BlueBay... We are human after all, and we just want to be loved and cared for.

I love rainforests, but would you like it lush and green or more like, scrubby bushland?

Totally bringing so many choccies, cheezels, and something sweet and fizzy. Oh and some red frogs, yummo. Alas I'm finishing up in half an hour, but for now I'd be so glad to sit with you

Re: Need to vent

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

I do like milo but haven't had it for a long time. I don't drink much milk at all.

Re: Need to vent

Hey @BlueBay's brain, pls stop being mean to BlueBay for me, kay?

We just wanna sit and eat red frogs and cheezels and have @Bow bring round some milo so we can all sit and talk about silly stuff and eat a whole tsp of milo just because we can!

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

Only way to have milo eh @Jynx ?! Mix it up a bit and then add a heap more on top!
