What Do I Do About My Other Job?

[abbeylee90]

I work in care home but my hours were cut there so I felt I needed another job to support me financially I got another job very quick in Home bargains but I'm not liking and feeling very tired all the time and not belonged there. Do I quit if my boss agrees to up my hours 

[abbeylee90]

8-4 and 7-3 are full time. I was enjoying warehouse just thought manager was a bully 

[Neveracrossword]

Here's hoping you find a job with the hours you want, doing work that you enjoy  - and that pays reasonably well.

[abbeylee90]

Hopefully I've applied for few Housekeeping jobs 

[Neveracrossword]

Good luck with those, Abbey. And now that you've had the experience of your present care home, you'll be clued up on what the work involves - and should be able to do it full-time, fingers crossed.

And a hospital 

[abbeylee90]

Well I'm left with 2 options 

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, what are the two options?

[abbeylee90]

Well was if my boss has hours even though they have advertised for a new housekeeper or get a new full time job 

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, I'm sorry but I don't understand the first half of your reply! Option 2  seems to be : Get a new full-time job, but your Option 1 'Was if my boss has hours even though they have advertised for a new housekeeper'   ???

[abbeylee90]

I spoke to my boss she says she hasn't got any more hours going but see they advertised for a housekeeper on the job site

[abbeylee90]

If they don't looks like have to get a full time job elsewhere 

[bednobs]

then it's fairly clear they want a housekeeper that's not you.

sounds like when they get someone you'll be out, therefore put all your efforts into the pther job

A hosekeeper will have more responsibility than a cleaner, and may in fact manage the cleaners.

Have you thought about a seasonal job eg. Argos, Tesco etc.  

[abbeylee90]

Well hopefully it works out as they're new housekeepers have either lasted a day or not turn up.

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey. looking for a new job seems to be the only decent option. 

PS I think 'housekeeping' is the slightly euphemistic term for 'cleaning' - no-one from 'Cleaning' has ever knocked on my hotel doors, but I've had 'housekeeping' lots of times!

[abbeylee90]

I also think some of them in HB are clicky

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, I think you'll have to accept that the care home don't feel as optimistic as you about you doing 30 hours! 

I think you were quite set against HB from the induction day and things went downhill from there. I'm sure loads of people hate their first week in a new job, but sometimes you have to give things a decent chance. 

[abbeylee90]

Well we called housekeepers 

[abbeylee90]

I've only felt like this once
