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 

[newmodarmy]

abbey- you just typed "They said they haven't got anything right now but I got leave to take"

Who or what was that in reponse to please?

Can you clarify with a bit more detail? Who hasn't got anything- the existing care home, another carehome, the kennels? And what;s the relevance of your having leave to take (from Care Home or HB?)

Maybe when you reply in future you could indicate which post you are responding to and just give a bit more detail/clarity about what you are trying to say.

Abbey I hope you will be paid while on leave. That will give you a chance to recharge your body.

You seem to be far more reliable than those who didn't turn up for their shifts or spend months on sick leave.

Abbey you had a very good job at a dentist, I know it was a bit further away but it had a good future - why did you leave that one?

Your other jobs since the dentist let you (fired you) because they felt you were putting in the effort.

The cleaning job at the care home has reduced your hours because they felt you could not cope with 'the pressure'

Can you see what is going on ?

Abbey, please take NewModArmy's advice.  

[newmodarmy]

I think redehelen @11:20 meant you were not putting in the effort (in the opinion of the employer)

[Redhelen72]

sorry yes - thats what I get for trying to multi task

i don't uderstand how if you find working 2 jobs "too tiring" when together they don't even add up to full time hours, you are going to be able to manage a full time job.  Unless you have some sort of physical disability orphysical illness, it's pretty shocking you can't even work part time hrs without being too tired

[pastafreak]

Bednobs...as mentioned elsewhere, and also back a number of months...Abbey has dyspraxia which may be the cause of her difficulties. 

[bednobs]

yet, she still appears to have the energy for an active social ;life.

if a disability is causing abbey not to be able to work full time, she should get benefits to top her up

if a disability means she cant work full time and have an active scial life, she should drop the social life a bit and concentrate on work

 

[bednobs]

personally, i also dont understand why whoever is funding her feckless lifestyle isnt having a word with her!

[abbeylee90]

This is about the care home

[Floko]

Abbey's thread is about  the care home and she cannot cope with snide comments which do not relate to her first post.

[abbeylee90]

Because I have to travel to 2 places

[Redhelen72]

So the care home do not have extra hours for you and they are telling you to use the leave you have built up?

So take the leave have a rest and use the time to speak to your parents and come up with a plan

[bednobs]

i'm not being snide - abbey asked about upping her hours.  if working part time hours is too tiring how will upping her hrs work?

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, 'travel to two places'? You said the care home was 'on your doorstep'. Yes, having two part-time jobs isn't ideal, but at least that was an income.  

[pastafreak]

I'd say plenty of young people are knackered after work...but still find time for a social life 😉

I think Abbey mentioned her day as being long with some early starts, plus travelling time between jobs and finishing late by the time she got home.

[Floko]

 bednobs If you had followed earlier threads, Abbey said if the care home upped her hours, she would leave her other job at HB , as travelling from one job to the other was tiring 

[Redhelen72]

eeee I remember when I was young - I worked 2 jobs and did college and kept house all for a pittance and was grateful for it how times have changed

[abbeylee90]

If they were close to each other might not be so bad
