What Shall I Do?

[abbeylee90]

I've deiced to make a new thread so I'm having trouble at work I been getting 37.5 hours per week but bow said they havent got the budget to pay me  overtime.I got 10 which is 2 hours per day which im not happy about. Before after my 2 week trial on the till they said they would give me my new contract I don't why they haven't unless because someone came back or after my probation. I'm also having trouble with a supervisor I don't think she likes me but she brought there have been issues with me scanning items wrong and they loosing stock. I don't feel respected.

Not even your parents? Just tell them, Abbey, instead of pretending you're going to work.

Abbey, tell your mum and claim whatever benefits you qualify for.  Did you hear from that full time job you applied for?

[abbeylee90]

No

[naomi24]

Are you still looking?  Do you have your name with any agencies?

[abbeylee90]

Yes

Abbey, you got yourself into a bit of a pickle the last few times your new jobs 'didn't work out'.  Your mum will probably be disappointed, of course, but there's nothing to be gained by you keeping such major stuff from her. As well as claiming benefits and job-hunting, would you consider doing a course, training for something - something you could make a go of? All these jobs, where you had high expectations, have gone wrong for one reason or another. Maybe it's time for a major rethink?

[abbeylee90]

Like what courses?

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey... like something you would (a) want to do and (b) something you could do and (c) something that would lead to a job (maybe even a career) that would last longer than a few months!

[abbeylee90]

I'd like to be a packer. I  happy in my current job bur not enough hours.

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, are there many packer jobs going in your area?

PS Although you are happy in your current job, it's not been without its trials and tribulations - you struggled with the codes, for example, and your employers have been putting you in cleaning roles rather than on the tills.

They didn't say that just said it a ban on overtime. I was getting the products and they got me for 1 full shift end of the month but still feel used.

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, you told us your hours were cut in June as you were 'not grasping the products'. I know you managed to improve in that area...just as Selco cut back on hours. I don't think it's been the perfect match for you - or for the firm. It's good that you're exploring other options, perhaps claiming benefits and so on.

[abbeylee90]

Yes I don't plan to be on 2 hours and claiming benefits long. Selco is disabled friendly.

 

[abbeylee90]

Yes they cut mine for a 6 hour shift then got told they weren't allowed to give overtime because of thier budget.

[abbeylee90]

I got an interview tomorrow for a counter sales person full time in Hughes forest tomorrow 

[naomi24]

That's good news, abbey!  Good luck.

[abbeylee90]

There's pros and cons.

[naomi24]

What pros and cons?

[abbeylee90]

Pros it full time and cons it's further away.
