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.

Am happy for you @BlueBay about the approved leave from job hunting 🙂 Also about your new GP. Enjoy your coffee with your friend 🙂

Re: Need to vent

That sounds good @BlueBay

You need the time off work and looking for work to recover your health - physical and mental - and I do understand about Centrelink - I was within a few weeks of finishing my pass degree and they wanted me to stop and look for full-time work - totally unreasonable - I did lose the plot right there in front of everyone and they listened to me and said I had enough part-time work to last me until the university year had finished. It is stressful going through all of that when it's enough pressure to getting from day to day

There's no need to worry about your previous GP - Dr Phil always says that what other people think about us is none of our business and he is right - the previous doctor is professional and if he is angry it might be at himself - he was getting pretty bland with his comments and that wasn't helpful for you. And he won't "hate" you - believe me - most people are too busy concerned with their own affairs to "hate" anyone else. I hate cauliflower with a vengeance - I am sure the cauliflowers don't care

Anyway - that's good work - getting your music and walking as often as possible - right - one step in front of the other - you will miss your D and little A but your house will be quieter and this will give you time to recover - I wish your D the best - I missed my daughter when she moved out - twice - when she was very young too - but after she had made the first move she had already made that step and that's an important part of maturing. My daughter took on a man with the full custody of three children too - a big step for a girl of 18 - they eventually got married. As they say - life goes on

Had an argument with hubby reg no money in savings account

does he ever check? NO

Has he any idea on the balance? NO

he must think i have a money tree somewhere that I just top up every now and then!!

isnt it time he learns how to do internet banking and check balance? YES

I shouldn't have to hold all this responsibility snd pressure on me

I'm made to feel thst it's my fault

that somehow I fix things

the only way I can fix it is find a job
