Well this week has, so far, been a complete disaster. If it wasn't for my wonderful partner, I'd have gone totally crazy. Seriously. It's been hell since Sunday night! After working overtime on the checkouts, I didn't get any sleep. Then on Monday, nothing was done by my manager to try and help me get back to work. By Tuesday, I asked again about checkouts and was told that if I didn't fit in with their vacancies, I'd be looking for a job outside of Tesco. It took me talking to my manager after hours to get him to sort something out. Which he never did. I got so angry that when I saw my partner, I was in tears. The manager also hid as soon as he saw him. Wimp. On Wednesday, my back was gradually getting worse and I was pushing myself too hard. When I told my manager about it, he told me again - for the THIRD time - that I might have to look for a job outside of Tesco. But, after me asking a lot of good questions about whether there was any communication between members of staff and him trying to lie his way out of everything, he then accused ME of lying about the changeover being temporary and went to check my notes. By this time, I was fuming and in tears. Other members of staff in my department were very helpful and supportive and I really want to thank them for that. I was then called up to the interview room where my manager was waiting. He never apologised, or said anything else for that matter, but expected me to follow into the room and we both sat down. I was then informed that I was to be put on checkouts as of today. All in all, it takes a lot of work for them to start to help you. And also a lot of clever wording and research beforehand.
Let's just hope that my week gets better from now on. Oh well, I'll just have to cheer myself up by cooking, looking up recipes and thinking about what to make next for dinner. It always cheers me up, so it's worth a shot. Enough ranting. Time for a new post to clear the air.
