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 

[scorpiojo]

🤷 I give up, Ozzy.

If you're in a job for a week you don't need to put it on your CV

Well yes you can lie about anything, even to your mum as we know, but the truth often catches up with you.

Abbey, you're getting yourself into a real pickle.  I think you said you worked for McDonalds so why not consider going back there and staying there?   Millions of people do jobs they don't like - that's life - but if you keep chopping and changing and putting your personal life before everything else and messing your employers about, no employer will want you.  You're in your 30s - you're not a child.  You can't do this forever.

Me too Scorpio🥴

Abbey, it is foolish to "go sick" when you are not, when really you just cannot face going to work at HB because you hate it. 

You are behaving like a child with a tantrum. 

[abbeylee90]

Well I'll take my leave in the care home then look for another job 

[abbeylee90]

I don't think you understand they threw me in the deep end 

[1ozzy]

But, the current owners of this awesome website love questions like this.

Because lots of people respond.

Makes for more hits!

[Floko]

I was thrown in the deep end in more than one job, but I just got on with it and proved I was worth employing.

[Floko]

When is your next shift at HB ? Is it today ? 

 

[abbeylee90]

I was for abit in the care home not shown the products. People go sick with depression because something is going on in thier work 

[abbeylee90]

Tomorrow 

[newmodarmy]

Oh, we understand Abbey. We know you feel its not you it's those unreasonable employers expecting you to contribute. Many of us know our advice has been pointless because you know best and will very likely continue to be in a pickle job-wise.

[abbeylee90]

Yes as I was enjoying it I can only be honest with my supervisor and say I can't live on 9 hours so there 2 options to put my hours or get another full time job and leave 

[Zacs-Master]

(Zacs just shakes his head)

[Floko]

exactly NMA.  

..And on that note, I'm out!

[abbeylee90]

For tomorrow just say I'm ill with tonsillitis or something 

[Floko]

Abbey,  you. just stop lying to yourself and others 

[abbeylee90]

Not easy when you enjoy a job then forced to get another
