What Shall I Do About This Job?

[abbeylee90]

Yesterday I got a txt from my job at the care home to say there is no point doing 3 hours per week so will send my p45 and next week wages. Think I might have told you this but they reduced my hours from 30 to 9 hours per week I'm now in a cleaning job cleaning houses 21 hours per was longer Monday-Wednesday but I'm not sure about so hoping to do warehouse work.I regret my decision now to change my days in the care home. I've not had a good day today as supervisor giving me a hard time saying I haven't touched things when I've tried to clean them and it's bad cleaning she find it hard to believe I was a cleaner . They reckon I'm not listening but concentration is my weekness 

[barry1010]

Yes, to be frank

Abbey - I am going to be blunt! (again)

The care home cut your hours because you were not doing your job, you have been sacked or left before being sacked from all of your jobs since you started posting on here apart from the care home.

You have been advised time and time again to get a proper diagnosis as to your alleged medical problem - then you can advise prospective employers or just claim benefits so you never have to work again!

But either way - stop blaming employers for your failures to do a proper job, stop going searching for negative reviews on your employers so that you have someone to blame other than yourself.

[abbeylee90]

Red its not a bad thing looking for reviews just so you know what you're signing up it's mixed in the new job 

[barry1010]

abbey, it is a fact that a lot more people will leave a bad review than a good one - about anything.  When people feel they have been treated badly they want to vent and complain; we expect to be treated well and get good service so we don't feel the need to give a good review.

People also leave bad reviews out of spite, for revenge, because they've been caught doing something they shouldn't and want to blame somebody else.

Take these reviews with a pinch of salt - better still, don't even look for them.   Just because Tom doesn't get on with his boss it doesn't mean that Dick, Harry and you won't.

[abbeylee90]

Maybe so just worrying when quite and huge staff turnover 

[Redhelen72]

How do you think people managed before ex employees left reviews?

We got on with it - we tried our hardest to work hard so that when we moved on we would get a good reference.

You don't seem interested in working hard - you seem more interested in finding excuses.

[Redhelen72]

the type of work you are attempting to do will have a high turnover due to the nature of the job.

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, if these reviews are so important to you, just make sure that you check out employers before your next round of job-hunting. I'm sure it'll be fine if you apply only to places with 5-star ratings, glowing reports etc - there must be loads of those.

You previously said that the owner was "so nice."

[abbeylee90]

Well she was last week by allowing me to try laundry just what review said and some people sat mixed reviews on her but tbh I wasn't enjoying anyway.

I'm scared money wise now coming up to Xmas

Abbey, you mentioned at one point that you spoke to a careers adviser.  I really think you need to approach  a job centre and ask about extra advice and some serious training otherwise you are not going to be employable.  There is help available.  

[Moorea7]

Are you at work right now Abbey?  Are you on a break?

[Countrylover]

We really can't help you any more than we have.  

[abbeylee90]

Yes and I've applied for job centre 

[Redhelen72]

It's appears to me that several of your employers have bent over backwards to keep you in employment by either reducing your hours or changing your role rather than sacking you.

not once have you taken responsibility for any failures that you have made.

i am sure if we asked your recent employer they would say we have shown her how to do things.

[abbeylee90]

They have shown me yes and did once.

[abbeylee90]

Was it professional talking me to about it in the kitchen 

[bednobs]

cleaning and laundry are not skilled jobs, and if you can't even managed an unskilled job, i think you have to face the fact it's you, not your employers

In the 90s there used to be a company that helped people with learning disabilities with work called remploy - anyone know if such a service still exists?

[Floko]

Are you supposed to be at work this morning ? You have been on here one and off since 0800.

Stop dwelling on past jobs, failures, horrible staff, reviews etc. etc. and concentrate on learning how to improve on your present job . 

[abbeylee90]

Yes but they not as easy as you would think.

No I don't think it still there
