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.

Sounds like you have got a lot happening at the moment @BlueBay

I hope you are able to see your psych soon and talk about stopping your meds.

Good luck for the open house on Saturday, I hope everything goes well with it.

Re: Need to vent

Hello @BlueBay

my meds are making me hungry too and my memory since having ect is non existent.

I hope you have success with a discussion about your meds. I didn’t have much luck when I asked about ceasing meds.

All the best with the open house on Saturday as I know how stressful that can be.

My mother, at 93, appears to have mellowed and we haven’t clashed at all this week.

Lots of love 💙💙💙

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

Selling, buying, moving can all be so stressful @BlueBay - especially if you are not yet sure where you are going. I hear you.

I vaguely remember you saying you were looking at a property about 20mins from you? Sorry if I got that wrong.

Have you been able to have any walks along the beach lately?

Sitting with you,
