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

Hi @BlueBay ... sorry online chat was not successful.

Well done for applying for the reception job. You have the skills ... you have the experience. Im sure you are very capable of doing all the duties required.

You stated that its a full time job however. Is that what you want? If it is ... go for it. Wishing you the best of luck in getting an interview and then success in getting the job. If you dont want f/t hours ... If you get an interview ... ask if job share is an option. Its becoming quite common these days. And if you dont get the job ... you could ask to go on their books as a relief receptionist.

So if this is a job you genuinely want ... be proactive and give it your best shot. But go into it with the confidence of knowing you can do the job. In fact .. that you are very good at this work.

I feel proud of you @BlueBay . Well done.

@Shaz51 are you okay gorgeous? Noticed your worry room post.

Re: Need to vent

Thats okay @BlueBay ... there isnt anything to stress over though. You have applied for a job. You may or may not get an interview. If you are offered an interview you have two choices .... you can advise them that you have changed your mind and do not want full time work ... or you can go ahead with the interview and do your best. You could tell them during the interview that you are concerned that f/t work may be more than you want right now, but that you would be prepared to jobshare. Or do the interview and do your best. If you are subsequently offered the job ... you can give f/t work a go. You may love it and find its just what you need, plus you will have the added funds. Which will take some of the stress off you as well. But whatever you decide ... there is no reason to stress about it ... what you do is entirely in your hands. The only thing you cannot control is whether or not you are called for an interview or given the job.

@Shaz51 .... such a busy time of year for most people I guess Shaz. But for you, with everything thats happened for you lately ... it would be doubly so. I think you went away on the weekend ... how was that? How is your Mum doing, especially while you were away over the weekend? What are your Christmas plans? It would be nice sometimes wouldnt it ... to take people out of the equation.

Started to get tired of doing whatever Mr shaz wanted to do

Mum was ok , my cousin checked on her for me

Getting lots of advice from SIL about house and insurance

Trying to fit everything in , seeing the doctor tomorrow

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

So pleased you had a great weekend away @Shaz51 . Was this the trip you had to postpone when your house burned down? Glad your Mum coped okay without you there, it should be reassuring for any future trips away. Ummmm ... advice from SIL regarding house and insurance etc ... is that advice asked for, helpful, accurate? You have so much to have to think about and act upon. All in a short time. Hope your Dr appointment goes well tomorrow. Hugs beautiful.

Emelia 🤗💞
