So I got this job about a month ago after months of being broke. It a small supermarket called co-op in the UK. From the first day I started was stress (I was put on bakery) and the person who watch teaching me, English wasn’t her first language so it was hard to understand what she wanted me to do and she’d give out to me when I would make mistakes.
Anyways, The week after I’m on shop floor and honestly it was very depressing. It’s just normally me and my manager having to do a long range of tasks. Even some of the managers are just depressed themselves being there, (I’ve had one manager tell me on my third day that he hates his job and wants to quit).
I’ve had this one manager who’s English isn’t strong either, but I can somewhat make out what he’s saying but I still struggle to understand at times and I get nervous to ask cause I don’t want him to yell. Yesterday was his third time insulting my intelligence (without blatantly insulting me). I’m expected to learn everything the day after doing it.
I’ve developed two canker sores the past two weeks and today I woke up from my sleep. From my Google searches I’ve realised it’s insomnia which is caused my stress (alongside my canker sores, can you guess where the stress comes from?) even when I think of work I get anxiety
Now within the next two weeks I’m gonna be working 55 hrs (why I don’t know) and I’m gonna end up working 6 days in a row. I’m thinking of just saying I have covid to avoid doing some of the shifts.
I want to quit but I feel bad because I just started and also I need the money, guys what should I do? What would you guys do in my situation?
