Hi everyone.
For the last four months I have being working two jobs to save up a little more money before heading back to uni.
Before taking this job, I wasn’t getting many shifts and thought this was going to help makes things easier financially and to an extent, it has.
The last couple of weeks have been an absolute nightmare and I’m filled with dread each time I have to go there. It’s very unorganised and each individual has their own way of doing things. As someone who is still learning their job, it makes it difficult to have a good grasp on what I need to be doing to effectively do my job.
I’ve mentioned several times that things are simply not working but my complaints have fallen on deaf ears. I’m sick of feeling like shit when I go to work. I spend most of my shift counting down the hours until it’s over.
It makes me miserable and I truly hate being there. The only good thing about it is the hours (which are still pretty crappy) are permanent so I know I will be receiving at least some money for that week.
I want to leave but if I do, I go back to working solely a casual job with a manager who cuts hours at her own discretion. I am currently job hunting in the hope of finding something better, and that’s making me feel worse because it can be quite discouraging waiting around to hear if you have got an interview.
I’m not sure whether I should stay at both or quit the one that fills me the most with dread and just work the other, even though there’s anxiety around my managers rostering because she tends to fluctuate with how many hours she gives me.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Firstly, I'm sorry your struggling with this right now.
Seems like whichever you choose (leave or stay) it will make your life difficult.
Do you have someone to fall back on financially?
If so, maybe it's better to leave the dreadful job and keep searching for something else.
