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.

Re: Need to vent

Thanks @tyme

im taking today very slow

just laying on my bed trying to read but my mind wanders off into space

and my cold has turned to asthma

think I need to go back to my GP

I’m a bit wheezy

my younger son is organising dinner tonight as his girlfriend is coming over

cleaned the house like crazy early this morning for open house which was at 11.30am.
five groups through and one coming tomorrow.
I’m so sick of cleaning the house to be in tip top shape. It’s really frustrating me now. Been doing this since March!!!

Feeling flat and terrible but I’m trying to be as calm as I can. It’s just each time I think of our finances I start to feel panic.

Re: Need to vent

Hi @BlueBay,

I'm sorry to read you are going through this. That must of been a confronting email to receive, particularly if you didn't expect it. That seems like a lot of money to have to come up with by next week.

Could you contact the real estate agent and see if you could come up with an agreement? If you explain what is going on hopefully they will understanding. Especially in this day and age when a lot of people are struggling just to pay the everyday expenses.

Hope you're okay, please let us know how you get on when you can.

Best wishes,

FloatingFeather

Hi @BlueBay,

I'm really sorry that things are so hard for you at the moment. Do you have someone that you can talk to or be with so you are not alone?

I really hope that your doctor calls you back today. It's great that you are reaching out for support.
