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.

Abbey, how long has it been since you've held down a full-time job for any length of time? The new position sounds quite demanding and you have really struggled with all the jobs over the past couple of years. If you really think you could cope with what's expected in that new job, I wish you well. Having seen how much you've struggled is why I suggested you might be better working out exactly what you'd want to do, workwise - and then making that happen, either through college or training,something. As it is, I feel you could be lurching into another 'this'll do' job that doesn't sound ideal for you.

I got a meeting about seeing what benefits there are. I would like to do warehouse online courses.

[naomi24]

What do they teach?  I know there are management courses in all sorts of areas but I don't think k that would suit you.

[Neveracrossword]

Glad you're thinking of other things, Abbey -I don't think you could keep bouncing in and out of these jobs, with none of them going anywhere!

[abbeylee90]

That's what we are looking when I go job centre tomorrow 

[calmck]

If you wanted to you could work full time days and do college courses in the evenings. That's how I got my BA degree

^^ Good idea, Cal, but I think Abbey would find that much too tiring - she has mentioned in the past about how tired she gets.

I just don't feel ready to leave selco 

[Canary42]

Stay at Selco - this job doesn't sound suitable for you IMHO.

[newmodarmy]

Canary- welcome back. You may need to read back through this thread to see the issues Abbey has had at Selco including having her hours cut to just 8 hours a week, and it's shift work with varying patterns  so she can't fit it in with another part time job. She needs a better wage
