My Week

Hi! Really sorry that I haven't blogged since Tuesday! It's been a bit of a bad week in many respects, as well as a tracking device I see my blog as a place to vent so today that's what I'm going to do. 


I work in retail, in the mall in my city and I've been at my current job for a year. I enjoy it - the pay's not great but the people are, so I've stuck with it. I've had issues with the manager from the start. It's not that I don't get on with her, it's that she's incredibly disorganized and expects a lot without giving a lot. I'd recently put a request in to up my contracted hours and was told that was impossible as the business couldn't afford it.


I arrived to work this week to discover 6 new staff had been employed, all on higher hour contracts than me. It was the most demoralizing and demotivating thing in the world. I felt completely betrayed. When I'm at work I give it my all and I'm constantly being praised for my commitment and hard work, but this week I discovered that I've been living in somewhat of a bubble; life doesn't always go your way. 


I've met all of the new girls and they are lovely, but there is a little bit of resentment there as some of my best friends at work have even had their hours cut to make way for the new girls. It's hard but I guess that's life. I've started looking for a new job and I'm determined not to let it hold me back - so I won't. 


It got in the way of my workout schedule a little so I'm determined to stay more focused and on track next week!


Just checking in with you all!
Hope you all have a great week!
