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.

@BlueBay 💔😔

I am really sorry. I dont understand whats happened. But clearly you are hurting. 💕

I have been absent a lot lately, and feel I must have missed something important.

If you must take time out for your own wellbeing, thats fine. Do so. But please come back.

Much love and care to you my long time friend.

Re: Need to vent

Oh @BlueBay 😔💔 I am sorry. That would have hurt. And you certainly dont deserve that, nobody does. I hope you can see your way past this. Perhaps your return today, is a sign that you have? I for one, would hate to lose you from here ... as a fellow member, a friend, a confidant, and a supporter. Hugs BB 💕

Re: Need to vent

thanks my friends @Emelia8 @oceangirl @Snowie @amber22 @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Eve7 @BPDSurvivor @tyme @hanami and others i may have forgotten

we are having a great time on our holiday. seeing lots of beautiful places, the weather is warm. we are staying in this beautiful town in S.A. and driving to another town the day after tomorrow. staying there for 3 days then head off again to top of Victoria.

Have taken so many photos and lots of walks. Although i have to be careful as walking on sand is not good for my back or hip. Little A is slowly settling in, she had a good week but on Monday this week she cried and every day since. I think reality has set in that this is it now - she is at school every day all day!!

It's a big adjustment. She did her school testing yesterday and apparently the teacher was very impressed with her knowledge.

time for a coffee then decide what to get for dinner. Take away tonight, i have cooked the past 4 days.

take care everyone, lots of love xxxxxxxoooooo
