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.

[abbeylee90]

Redhelen no as I couldn't get hold of them.

Personally, I think that working at BM would have been good experience for you.  You should have stuck it out for longer, it's impossible to know if you will like a job and your colleagues after a short time.  

Do you want to be a cleaner for the next forty years or so? 

When the care home cut your hours was it because they didn't need a cleaner or because you weren't very good at cleaning and following instructions?

[Neveracrossword]

Wolf, Abbey's hours were cut (from 30 to 8/9) because it was felt she 'couldn't cope with the pressure'. After that she applied for and got (and disliked) the Home Bargains job.

[abbeylee90]

Home bargains was to much I need to work in one job a day 

[scorpiojo]

Then why did you take it?

[scorpiojo]

If you're serious about leaving home, Abbey, you need a full time job.

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, yes, I know you said you wanted to have just one job. That's why I was surprised when you applied for the latest part-time job - I thought you'd be concentrating on looking for something with full-time hours.

[Redhelen72]

You couldn't get hold of job1?

They are right next to your house - I thought

[abbeylee90]

I have applied for odd full time hours and I was enjoying the care home but because they reduced my hours I had to get another job so I could stay and make me have similar hours 

[abbeylee90]

Not right next door. I mean I emailed them and they didn't respond 

[scorpiojo]

But you said the care home was "on my doorstep."

[Redhelen72]

yes but no but yes

 

sorry I am having to call time on interaction with this user - just because!

[calmck]

I'm sorry to say this but I am beginning to feel that all on here trying to help Abbey are fighting a lost cause. The advice being given is mostly ignored, yes that is her prerogative, but I feel I am now wasting my time.

Best of luck Abbey I hope you have success in your new job

 

[newmodarmy]

Redhelen: you are right on job 1 (the current job) being Mon, Wed, Fri but I'm sure the new job (job2) is Monday Tuesday Wednesday. So there's a clash on Mondays and Wednesdays

 

[abbeylee90]

So best way I can help is ask care home if I can just work Friday and new job wants me to start Monday 

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, you might be 'enjoying' the care home, but 9 hours  a week is pretty useless AND your supervisor is now  'being a bit funny' with you. Just concentrate, totally, on getting a full-time position somewhere. You said you enjoy cleaning, housekeeping - there's usually a lot of demand for these jobs, so you should be able to find something suitable.

[Floko]

I am now definitely calling time on AL threads where good advice is given and ignored....

[abbeylee90]

In the new job there will opportunities to progress to supervisor and go full time so I'll just call them and say can I do one a day week like Friday which I currently do and I only do stairs 8-11am

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, the care home might say 'don't bother' when you ask for your 1 day a week choice!  Also, could you really live on a salary based on only 24 hours work a week? 

[abbeylee90]

It was 25 with the new job and care home
