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 at least your son did the right thing and rang your Mum. Unfortunately he cannot do any more then that.

Hopefully one day she sees that she is in the wrong, but until then you have already done so much to put yourself out there.

I am sure your son will have a wonderful time and enjoy every minute of his adventures.

You are not a silly mum hon. You care for him deeply and that shows in just how much you will miss him. Glad you can spend some time with him before he departs. I too would find it hard to go to the airport. Think I would be a mess too.

Oh @BlueBay

I'm feeling for you right now. It must be tough. Hang in there, we are all here for you. Have you got some plans for this afternoon to distract yourself? I know that's going to be hard. When I just don't feel like distracting myself because I'm so overwhelmed I put Netflix or another streaming service on and watch mindless tv. Not great but it takes my mind off stuff.

Sending hugs

Hanami

Thanks @hanami @Bow

I ended up taking myself to the beach for a quick walk while listening to a true crime.

im home now having a coffee. Hubby and son should be home soon.

I’m making my sons bedroom a spare room for little A. She can sleep in there when she stays over.

I’m feeling so many mixed emotions atm.

Re: Need to vent

I can just imagine all of your emotions running wild right now. That's sweet that you're making your son's room a room for little A. She will love that and you can focus on making the room all nice and sweet. When my youngest son moved out I focussed on tidying it up and putting nice things on the walls. Of course I still missed him but it took my mind off things for a while.
