Under a lot of stress and I am so worried. I am very very likely to lose my permanent job tomorrow
​
I am in such a stupid and difficult situation.
Its all so complicated and I cannot stop crying.
I am so stuck.
I started a term time permanent job thats 2 days a week in September 2025. I work Monday and Tuesdays 6 hours an evening.
After years of having agency contract jobs, i was happy to find something part time, permanent and near my house.
Basically, as it's a College, they end for summer break earlier than schools.
I asked my manager by email twice when will be the last day of term for me as a staff member and she said 23rd june. Twice she said that..once in march and again in the beginning of June via Email. I think its because she assumed thats when evening classes end for the summer.
Then, i saw my contract and actually, I am on a 38 week term contract, not 36. This means my last week should be this week.
However this is the issue and where it gets very bad:
Via Email back in March, my manager confirmed to me that my last day is 23rd june.
So i applied for a summer residential role which is 5 hours away and that began literally the 4 days after 23rd june on Saturday. Since I work 2 days a week, I thought i was done for the summer. They offered me a role and I ONLY accepted because I honestly thought I was done.
A day after my supposed "last day" she sends me a text saying that i am needed the following week on mon and tues. By this point, I am so scared because I have started my new temp job. The text was sent on Wednesday which is my non working day (I only work mon and tues) She called me on friday 26th too to confirm I will come in. As I am a people pleaser and scared of authority and losing my job, i said Ok. I was on the spot and agreed stupidly.
This current temp job is very physical and intense so I was in a lot of pain anyway and I called in sick for those days.
Again, the next day (wed 1st july), she told me she needs me to come in on monday 6th july. I told her I can't as I am not in that city but I will see if i can. She then responded angrily saying that i am on a 38 week contract and need to come in.
I told 2 of the managers in my current temp role and they said unfortunately I cannot go because the British Council are coming in that day to inspect us and since I am the only one with this role, i need to be here...the other girl with the same girl quit after 2 days so I need to be here otherwise she could have taken my place.
My permanent job-They have no cover availabile and I am the only 1 who works that job and has those hours. I am needed. Ironically both jobs need me there on monday. Both roles, i am the only 1 with the specific role.
After so much back and forth, the temp manager told me that if it was literally any other day, they would have been fine with me going to that permanent job.
What do i do?
If i dont go into my permanent job tomorrow, I will be blacklisted or made redundant. I enjoyed the job and attended everyday.
I have not opened by work email ever since out of intense anxiety.
I spoke to an even higher manager at the current temp summer role and she said:
" I am sorry that it has clashed with plans. Unfortunately we dont get to choose the date and cannot rearrange it. As soon as the inspectors have left, you can leave".
