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

The boss in care home is meant to be retiring in January

Abbey, you are obviously not thinking straight -the care home don't want you back, certainly not for more than 8/9 hours a week.  I don't think they'd even give you those hours back - and that would be no proper use to you anyway, you'd be back to looking for another part-time job. Doing two jobs, even part-time ones, was too much for you before - and nothing has actually changed. 

[abbeylee90]

That it if I went back I'd be looking for another full time job 

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, so why would the care home take you back when they'd be expecting you to look for a full-time job? What would be in it for them?

Abbey/You live in a house in which you say your mother does most of the cleaning (as well as working in an Estate Agents) - surely you are aware what cleaning involves + your previous experience.   I do think 40 minutes is far too little to clean a kitchen, bathroom and do a bedroom - are these pensioner homes or a mixture of abodes?  Wow, I couldn't thoroughly clean 3 places in 40 minutes!

Abbey, let the care home go now.

Why don't you go back to McDonald's?

[abbeylee90]

There's three cleaners per house and we had them for offices aswell which was 30 mins time slot 

[Moorea7]

Ah!  I thought you meant it was just you and a supervisor!  See it better now.

[abbeylee90]

Yes myself supervisor and another colleague supervisor been having trouble with and they were speaking to the owner when I left so no idea if it about me.

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, the other members of your cleaning 'team' had maybe been told that you'd had lots of cleaning experience, so they perhaps expected more from you than they got? You had a bad day last week, when you were very tired, then this week hasn't gone smoothly either. 

[abbeylee90]

Because they were told I work in a care home. I know that why not sure it for me really.

Abbey - I meant that it was a good idea to post a new question.

Now, you are in a bit of a pickle, but you didn't take the advice we have been giving you.  You really can forget about that Care Home job - it has gone.     

Others have lots of good ideas e.g. a list of exactly what you have to do.

General pointers from me:-

You do not put time to get your nails and hair done before the hours demanded by work.  If you are working 9 - 5  then you fit them in at 5.30 - or whenever you can, like everyone else. Nothing, repeat nothing must come between you and doing the very best job you can do for your employer. You must be honest with your future employer and if you find something difficult (or if there are complaints) then ask (not text) how to do it as required and always, always be polite - no 'accidental' mutters.

Lecture over. 🙂  I think you've learned a lot these last few months. It never does to lie - in the long run it comes back to bite you and makes matters worse.  Now look at all the other suggestions.  Re-read a few times and understand. :)

Once again that makes no sense to me, abbey. Please include punctuation in your posts and then check through your posts before you send them.

Thank you I'm just to embarrassed to tell my friends and family 

[hellywelly4]

When you tell them how much you're struggling I'm sure they will understand and help you.

[abbeylee90]

They don't know about this job

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, maybe the experiences of the last week or so are the wake-up call that you needed? You must now have a better idea of what sort of job you should be looking for (and avoiding!). And you'll also need to get out of the habit of telling half-truths to your friends and family - you seem to give them the minimum of information. Even if the rest of the truth is a bit dispiriting (ie your hours were cut because the care home felt you couldn't cope), your friends, your mum, might have given you support and advice - stuff that would have helped when you got into the next pickle!

[abbeylee90]

I just wondered if my mum has a go at me if I say the cut my hours as they felt I couldn't cope

[scorpiojo]

Your mum knows nothing about your latest job? What does she think you're doing all day?
