What Does Lacking Energy In A Job Mean?

[abbeyleigh]

Like my ex employer said I was lacking energy in a job and it wasn't fair on me to keep it going. Also if I had know the full job description I probably wouldn't have applied for it.

[ToraToraTora]

no oomph, not getting on with it, being half arised, etc

[smurfchops]

Did they tell you this at your second review today? So will you stay or leave?

[abbeyleigh]

Stay with this one we'll see if they extend my probation

[smurfchops]

Do you like it there, is it the dentists receptionist?

[vulcan42]

Lacking energy is a polite way of saying not interested.

[abbeyleigh]

No warehouse I did like it yeah

[smurfchops]

Well, if you like it, do your best to stay there, good luck.

[abbeyleigh]

But maybe I should look for something else just incase

[youngmafbog]

Always keep your options open on the job market.

And next time pull your socks up and at least look interested. Just play the game even if you hate it - remember it buys the frocks you like :-)

My stock manager said I could do better

"Lacking in energy in a job" - could also mean doing the bare minimum, going through the motions. Show a little more interest in whatever tasks you are asked to do.

[bednobs]

Being klazy, not being as quick or doing as much work in the same time as others. Not having initative

//My stock manager said I could do better//

Well there you go, he/she obviously believes in you, recognises you have something to give but is disappointed you are not giving the job your best.

Sometimes it is appearances so look smart, be attentive when someone is talking to you, offer to do things before being asked (not all the time though) and generally play your part in the team. You are clearly thought to be capable so be capable.

[abbeyleigh]

I always my stock manager what shall I do next

[barry1010]

Stop asking and start using your initiative, abbey. You surely must know what needs doing by now.

[Tilly2]

Ask your stock manager how you could do better...and do it.

[abbeyleigh]

Than working there he means

[Tilly2]

Ah! Well at least he/she is being honest.

Is a stock manager a soupervisor?

[abbeyleigh]

Yes
