What Do I Do If My Work Don't Reply?

[abbeylee90]

I've sent the care home an email asking if I can change my days as my new job days were only available Monday yo Wednesday. What do I do they haven't replied to my email.

If they have given you three days they will not accept you saying you can now only do one. You should have told them that at your interview. You need to give up the care home.

"In the new job there will opportunities to progress to supervisor and go full time"

jam tomorrow!

Cash what should I have told them? I only had a trial day. Its a shame it had to come to this 

[newmodarmy]

cashier- abbey writes in a confusing way but she meant the new job has potential so she'll honour that but ring the old home and ask to just do Fridays. 

I wonder if abbey is clearer face to face- I suppose she must be as she gets plenty of job offers

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, I think your major (recent) problem came about because you assumed the care home would meekly fall into line with what you wanted, changing your shifts and days so that you could start the new job right away. It was also a little unfair not to tell the new job that you could possibly need to give notice in the existing job, something you must have come across in the last 10 or so years.

Just had an idea Abbey..if you give me the care home telephone number, I'll ring them and try to sort things out for you.  Have I got the correct info  ...  oh well, never mind, I'm about confused as you are!

[abbeylee90]

Well they wanted me yesterday I said I couldn't till 20th and they were OK with that

Your Answer...

[abbeylee90]

I emailed last week and asked if I could change my days 

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Abbey - but wasn't that AFTER you'd said 'yes' to the new job?  I'm still surprised that you didn't even consider that you might have to hand in your notice in the care home - especially if the care home wouldn't fit in with your plans for your hours.

[abbeylee90]

Well if they replied I could have messaged new job and asked if I could do the Tuesday and Thursday but it is if I want to as it new job are full days 

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Abbey. That doesn't sound like a great idea work wise (and wages wise!) - two days in one job and eight or nine hours in another? You've been saying for a while that you need full-time work -in a way you're going backwards now!

[abbeylee90]

Yeah 2 full days and would be 3 days a week for 3 hours if I did that

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, if you're happy to live on the wages of a 24- or 25-hour week, that's fine. I am just surprised, though, as you've been talking of getting a place of your own. That'll not happen when you're only working part-time. 

[abbeylee90]

Well it wouldn't on 30 hours either need at least 35 

[Hazlinny]

Abbey/  You didn't comment on my offer to telephone for you?

You say you work 8 - 11 at the Care Home doing the stairs... 3 hours to do two sets of stairs - surely you do something else?

[abbeylee90]

They wouldnt be happy I doubt and yes when they are fully staffed and God knows what changed yesterday that would make it awkward to change my days 

[Neveracrossword]

Are you going to look for a full-time job now?

[newmodarmy]

Abbey , do you ever read over what you type on here to check it makes sense before you submit your post?

[abbeylee90]

Yes although description said if you are good and reliable could progress to full time.
