As I seem to have progressed from a general dislike of my job into a full on hatred of the building, the work, the people, the mess, THE MANAGER and everything else to do with it, i’m looking for a new job.<\/p>\n

I was promoted twice last year but due to bad management I’m in the same position now as I was 12months ago….<\/p>\n

I was offered a promotion due to my supervisor being promoted and moving to another branch, so I was offered his position, the next day he decided not to take his promotion as he wanted to stay on in our store….bye bye Stephs promotion..<\/p>\n

THEN…He really did leave for a job with another company, so the job was immediately offered to me again, I accepted, Then my manager handed in his notice to join the police force and the Area Manager put a freeze on all staff changes…bye bye Stephs promotion!<\/p>\n

The new manageress started and offered me the job again, gave me all the extra responsibility, the hours, the supervisory role, Left me to answer an alarm call out at 4A.M. to a ram raid at the shop and then work a 12 hour shift to sort the mess out, sits in the office leaving me to deal with the staff at the busiest time of the year….and 2 months later I’m still waiting for the contract and the pay rise.<\/p>\n

I’ve had enough, I’ve told them I’m not doing it any more. Not until I get paid accordingly and maybe thanked for the work I’d already done at a reduced rate…..still nothing.<\/p>\n

THEN, during the week between Christmas and New Year Jordan was ill, not seriously, but enough for James to need to call me out of work to deal with it. As i got off the phone she asked me who it was and I said, “James, Jordan is ill” before i got any further she screamed “oh, and I suppose now you want to go home, What about MY lunch break!!” and this was on the shop floor in front of other staff and customers. Talk about unprofessional and demeaning….she didn’t even stop to ask what was wrong with him…could have been hit by a bus for all she knew. I walked out after telling her children get ill and it wasn’t my fault, we’d all worked hard were tired and stressed but I really wouldn’t be asking to go home unless it was urgent!<\/p>\n

When I returned to work I had a lecture about 100% attendance and the impact me having time off has on the company. About the need for commitment and dedication to my position and the example I should be setting to the other staff!!<\/p>\n

It was the straw that broke the camels back, I want out .
I need to find a new job….preferably something with career prospects and training??<\/p>\n

I’ve searched the web and spent most of Christmas in and out of the job centre and I’m going insane having to smile and play nice in the position I’m in now, I have a variety of experiences and I just want a challenge!!<\/p>\n
