What Do I Do About My Other Job?

[abbeylee90]

I work in care home but my hours were cut there so I felt I needed another job to support me financially I got another job very quick in Home bargains but I'm not liking and feeling very tired all the time and not belonged there. Do I quit if my boss agrees to up my hours

Abby we cannot tell you what to do.

Speak to your parents and perhaps seek if you are entitled to financial assistance due to your disability 

[Floko]

Do you mean If your boss at the care home ups your  hours ?

[Tuvok]

Its only been a week - give it more time.

[abbeylee90]

Yeah 

[abbeylee90]

No I'm not entitled to benefits 

[newmodarmy]

I'm really not sure what we can add. There were pages and pages of posts about your hours and options on the thread which started off with your asking about which top you should wear but then, rightly or wrongly, moved on to your work issues. 

[Floko]

Let's see what the care home boss offers and we'll take it from there.  You have to convince them you can work better and not be under pressure

[abbeylee90]

Yes decided to make a thread about it

[Barsel]

Abbey, it seems you are happier working at the care home than anywhere else, but the hours are not enough.

You could always ask if it's possible to give you more hours and see what they say.

If they agree to this and you don't really need the other job at HB, then leave if you're not happy there.

[abbeylee90]

Or my other option is they say no get a full time job elsewhere 

[Redhelen72]

Abbey, what has changed since they took the hours off of you?

[Floko]

Is it the shop environment that upsets you. Would you rather work on your own ? Some people prefer to work like that 

[newmodarmy]

Okay, I feel everything I have to offer in terms of advice, based on solid experience of managing and developing teams, has already been said by me and others, and seemingly not yet taken on board, so I'll leave it to others and hope some good comes of it, as I understand how difficult all of this is for you.

[Barsel]

That's always a possibility Abbey.

Are there other care homes you could apply to?

[abbeylee90]

No working 2 jobs is to tiring 

[Barsel]

If this is the type of work you like to do, phone a care home even if they're not advertising for staff at the moment and tell them it's the type of work you are doing but you need more hours.

If they say no, then ask if they will take your name and number in case something comes up in the future.

[abbeylee90]

Possibly not sure where though

[Barsel]

Can you Google it Abbey? Look for Care homes near me.

Would you have a problem with travelling to work, is that why you need a job near to where you live?

[abbeylee90]

As I'm currently in one closer to me

[Barsel]

Would you be interested in a care home job that meant you would have to travel?

Do you ever go to the job centre?
