so i’m 18 and currently working a job i don’t want to be working but i need to for the money i still live at home which is not somewhere i want to be but that’s a whole other story and i just feel so lost

all i left school with was my maths science and english gcse i dropped out of college after my first year because they forced me to do a course i didnt want since i didnt meet the maths grade to do biology and chemistry even though my science grade was perfect

Since leaving education ive been in and out of crappy part time jobs and im miserable i just want to feel some kind of happiness again

i have no friends where i live and that’s not me exaggerating i genuinely dont and i know it would be so easy to meet friends clubbing or whatever but it’s genuinely not something i enjoy i dont like to drink i like my own things but ive realised i probably isolate myself a lot

I just want a purpose i guess i want to find a job that ill enjoy ive always wanted to be a doctor but after reaching out to unis about access courses and stuff it feels impossible lol

any advice would be greatly appreciated

right so i called my store because its 3 hours before my shift is meant to start and i genuinely feel absolutely drained i don’t think i can do another 10 hour shift i know i sound like a whimp but omg my whole body hurts still so i called in and told them im not feeling great and it was someone i don’t recognise she said she was from another store but that she’d let someone know straight away for me i was gonna ask if maybe she could pass me on to a supervisor or a manager that was in store but it wouldn’t surprise me if we didn’t have one until later we are that short staffed at the minute 😭 i’m just wondering if this is okay? can i go to sleep or what im not good at this i don’t really call in sick ever

so i’m currently six hours into my shift and it’s gone really well so far !! i mean it’s been absolutely hectic it’s been so busy but ive been shouting out what we need and even ended up on ovens myself and i feel like ive really got the hang of it now :) regarding that co worker we’ve actually got on fine today i feel slightly harsh because maybe she was just stressed and i can’t imagine me being clueless helped lol im hoping it stays this smooth to be honest

i’m really not doing well tonight .. i have a ten hour shift tomorrow and a large chunk of it in the morning will be with this co worker and im panicking so badly ☹️ im gonna take all the advice i received on here but i just feel sick to my stomach i dont wanna feel small at work

How does one deal with colleagues who won't let her do any tasks other than serving on tills even though her manager has literally told them I wont learn if I don't do tasks myself?

So i've been at Greggs around 3 weeks now and all of my co workers have been super welcoming and helpful and my manager is so lovely but, recently one co worker in particular has turned sour on me pretty out of the blue. what started as friendly smiles and conversations has turned into snarky comments and being completely ignored and left out. It started after i started doing breakfast shifts with her and I was so caught up in getting the basics right it slipped my mind once or twice to ask for more bacon, sausages and omelette to be put on. Now ofcourse i absolutely understand how frustrating it must be to have to deal with a new member of staff during a busy breakfast shift but honestly her making these remarks such as "great well no ones called for more" and huffing and banging things around angrily super loudly near me is honestly causing me to make more mistakes because i get super worked up and anxious. I don't want her to hate me and Ive been trying my best to call out when we need more of a product i just feel that i'm always too slow and then when she notices she thinks i've just not bothered to say anything which isn't the case. I know i sound ridiculous and sensitive but I dealt with girls like this in secondary school I was picked on in similar ways for being shy and letting people walk all over me. I just cant handle the annoyed remarks and her ignoring me and engaging with everyone else its making me not want to be there but I really need the job. I dont wanna complain because literally everyone loves her and I really want us to get on I don't want to frustrate anyone thats never my intention.
