Would A Guy Be Put Off By A Girl Working In A Male Dominant Environment And?

[abbeylee90]

I want to work in a warehouse last one I was male dominant (most are)

Would that put a guy off?

[scorpiojo]

Why not go back to McDonald's?

[abbeylee90]

They kept giving me 2 many nights and not enough hours

I think we've established you can't work anywere that you need to deal with tills and payment and haidressrs would only take on apprentice hairdressers or possibly receptionists (who have to have great telephone and planning skills).

At least you stayed at McDs for a couple of years didn't you? I think from reading you've tried about 20 different jobs in the last few months none of which have worked out well for you.

[abbeylee90]

Not as many as 20

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, you've been out in the working world for over 10 years now, yet you're still scrabbling around with 'this'll do' jobs. And they DON'T do!  The recent ones have all been ... less than successful, probably because you weren't fully committed to them anyway. (Yes, I know you 'liked' the care home, but you couldn't cope with the work involved.) Isn't there something you could aim towards, couldn't you get a few qualifications or vocational skills? 

[Prudie]

Well I haven't exactly counted so maybe less than 20 but you have told us, there were several dentists, B&M, care homes, warehouses. Your posts go back months talking about different new jobs and losing jobs.

[abbeylee90]

Online courses yes. B&m I had to leave

[newmodarmy]

I think Prudie meant Home Bargains. You walked out on that one.

[abbeylee90]

Well yes I hated it but regret it now

[scorpiojo]

You were only there for a few days, Abbey.

[scorpiojo]

You said that it was "unsociable hours" at b & m. What hours did you work?

[Karamia]

Abbey, I looked back over all your posts from when you were Abbeyleigh back in June 2021 when you were 29 years old. You now approaching 32 this year in  coming months, but you seem no further forward. You seem to constantly - over the 3 years- repeat same problems and I'm not sure you actually use any of the advice you are given. 

[Barmaid]

If a guy is put off by what you do and where you work, rather than who you are, he is not the right guy for you.

[bednobs]

maybe im a bit out of step here, but isnt actually getting a job slightly more important at this point than worrying about what hypothetical (ie imaginary) boyfriends would think about your job?

what would you havedone should our answers have been "yes"?

[abbeylee90]

Karami that was before Mcdonalds and I worked 6-10 in b&m most of it was through lockdown but had no choice but to leave really when I told them I couldn't them hours before as I was moving out of the area 

[abbeylee90]

Bedknobs of course but be harder at this time of year 

[Karamia]

To me it seems like no one has ever spoken to you properly about employment or about certain rules that are expected for being in employment, especially new employment or when you on probation..   when you are on probation you should do tasks exactly as explained and you should do the days/shifts  they ask you to do without question for at least 3 months (you should not tell the boss that you can't do a certain day because you have other plans - even if this is dog walking volunteer duty or going out for a meal with friends) you should not be booking days or weeks off in first 3 months!

I am shocked that you booked a day off work from the laundry on the Tuesday before Christmss when you were only working part time for 3 days a week anyway! 

If you continue to not understand what employers expect, then you will continue to be disappointed and not find a job you can stay in. 

[jourdain2]

abbeylee - I've said this before, but now I put it very plainly.  You must understand that what your employer wants has to come before what you want. You can't book days off unless it is very, very important.  I had to work one Saturday when I was young and had to miss most of the only visit a relative on a trip from New Zealand could make.

I was a teacher (a bit later) and the only time allowed off was for illness or a CLOSE family member's funeral, if it was in term time.

To answer your O.P. If working in a male-dominated environment puts a chap off - then he is not the right chap for anyone.

[scorpiojo]

Plenty of people on here have said that Abbey should not be putting her social life before her job, but she appears to not listen.

If he likes you, he likes you. Doesn't matter where you work or with whom. 
If he says 'I don't like you working with all those men' then he's not the right person.
