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.

Boiling it down could help @BlueBay

Breaking it down

Re: Need to vent

Hi @BlueBay

It's great that you are able to work on the registers - but yes - standing in one place for hours is stressful and takes time to get used to - back luck that you have bursitis in your hip - that is a really painful condition - perhaps you need to have another injection treatment into your hip. I know it didn't work the last time but it might if you had it done again. Not at all fun though I know

It's just a suggestion but why not work until you know where you are going to live. Put it on the back-burner while you are looking for another house and get used to the registers and you might be able to do that work in another supermarket if this is what you want to do - it's always good to have an extra item for your resume anyway. It's important to tend that hip pain when you can though - it must be such a strain having that dragging you back as you battle to get ahead

All the best - and yes - breaking down what you want to do and can do and plan a little but not too much - this will pass - it's hard to have so much on your mind at the same time

Re: Need to vent

thanks @Shaz51 @MDT

I saw my GP and had an honest and open discussion about a few things including job hunting.

He assured me that i will find a job in time; to which i replied 'yeah when, i need a new job now' i hate rejections

He said it's good that i am still at the supermarket because last week i was so ready to give it up and resign

i am glad i have him to be able to speak so openly with; he doesn't judge, he listens and gives me options or lets me see that tyhings aren't so bad

but i don't know - i still feel hopeless and shit

i am sorry for complaining, i know there are lots of people on here worse than me. so i am sorry.

there are so many in flooded areas - i am sorry

i should just go
