Something’s not right

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 everyone @Shaz51 @BPDSurvivor @MDT @Former-Member @Emelia8 @Owlunar and others

woke up with a slight stuffy nose snd sore throat. Drove down to local hospital and there were people everywhere waiting to get tested. After an hour in line a guy comes out and says "there's no power we are trying to fix it but not sure how long it could be a while". So I left.
I'm home and trying to find a rapid test

our town hodpital is small snd with all the tourists it gets so busy. Hospital needs an extension.
Im so sore on my side. I've got a Telehealth call from my GP tonight at 6pm

I feel terrible. I just don't know what to do.

Re: Need to vent

My mums at it again. My d rang me to say her invitation to my mum was sent back in an envelope. No birthday card or present.
how rude is that. My mum is so wrong. My D did the right thing in inviting them and this is what she gets in return.
makes me so angry.

Re: Need to vent

Ohhh no @BlueBay how truly awful, not just being sick but nerve wracking waiting for a test result.

Have you got some comfort food and familiar movies (like favs from your childhood) to help get you through?

I wish I could bring you a big steamy bowl of noodle soup!

In response to: Re: Need to vent
