What Do I Do If My Work Don't Reply?

[abbeylee90]

I've sent the care home an email asking if I can change my days as my new job days were only available Monday yo Wednesday. What do I do they haven't replied to my email.

[Neveracrossword]

The tiredness will be worth it for having a full-time job rather than all the faffing around you've been doing lately! 

[abbeylee90]

Well yeah of course and fizzle out in the end

[abbeylee90]

Do I leave or just start looking for a new job if my other cleaning keeps giving me a hard time like saying I haven't done something properly.

[Neveracrossword]

Do you not need a full time job anyway? Shouldn't you be looking - looking seriously - for one of those? PS You'll be wanting to build up some good references, and your last three or four jobs won't supply those.

//giving me a hard time like saying I haven't done something properly//

That's common in new jobs abbey. You're not going to get everything right straight away. It's not as if it's the first time  you haven't enjoyed endless praise in a new job- you often don't seem to deliver what's expected and/or you feel you are badly treated.

Stick at it or leave and find something else (again). Your choice

[abbeylee90]

Never cross I got the warehouse and my friend as references for care home 

[Neveracrossword]

That's good, Abbey, I can't see you getting glowing testimonials from the care home,Home Bargains, the new cleaning job...

[abbeylee90]

Well not home bargains as its not on my CV.

Abbey, you could try a new approach. Give a new job a proper chance, don't decide after a week that it's not for you. Work hard - and properly - from the beginning. Don't get involved in things that don't concern you, none of this 'Why did she say this, that or the other?' 

[abbeylee90]

Maybe seems to be paranoid because my other jobs haven't worked out

[Neveracrossword]

...and there's a wide range of reasons why the previous jobs haven't worked out. Those are not all down to other people- the care home could have been your ideal job, but you obviously didn't deliver what was expected of you.

You should stick with your new job for at least three months. If you are told you haven't done something properly, ask how it should be done. Then make sure you do it properly next time.

[abbeylee90]

I was fine when I covered shifts or no one had anything to say but hired supervisors friend.

[abbeylee90]

Cash it about enjoying it and travel not just people giving me a hard time 

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, if you took jobs where travelling was involved, you must have expected to ... travel? Do you feel that everyone  who has given you 'a hard time' has got it wrong, has been unfair?

Abbey/Do you take on board what people like NAC are saying?
You seem to go your own way despite all the advice you are given.  There's been a problem with every job you have been offered  .. and by the way, in the current climate, you are fortunate to be offered anything.  Surely you help your mother with housework so you know what's involved in cleaning a house.  Appreciate it when your Supervisor points out where you have gone wrong and learn from it. x

 

[abbeylee90]

Very minimul housework she does most of it. 

Now you've said when I'm new I'll go wrong somewhere and they tell me but if I've been there a month and it's ongoing then maybe it not for me.

[Hazlinny]

Have you had any word regarding the library job?

[abbeylee90]

No was Friday I applied

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, it would be a big step forward if you got through a month in a new job! Yes, you've been at the care home longer than that - but they quickly cut your hours way, way back. You decided within days that you hated Home Bargains and after two days in the new cleaning job you suggested you'd be looking for something else, would maybe go back to warehouse work.  Do you feel you a) give places a real chance and b) apply for jobs that you don't really want and/or which don't have hours to suit you?
