I work alone most of the time while the rest stand and talk.I'm finding it hard to balance work and university as the university isn't very organised either and kept drasticly changing the assessment 2 weeks before due.Now they have increased the workload as assessment was orignal for groups, now individual,with the same workload.The manager doesn't seem to believe me and makes me feel worthless as i regard my work very highly and makes me feel just as bad as the rest of them who do no work when they are at work (he knows this).I don't know if to try find another job or if to stick with it cause better the devil you know. I would just love to work somewhere where there is a REAL sense of team achievement and enjoy working with collegues as where i am now, they are all in their cliques and ignore me. I don't know what to do at all. sometimes i forgive it and get on with my work, but it stresses me out all the time thinking every week, it's going to be another battle to get my time off to do uni work. If i work more than my contract hours, then i get no days off in the week at all. I don't know if to think highly of myself or not, i work well when i am there, but am inflexible with uni hours. I don't know if i can get a job elsewhere or not.I'm worried because coming up to my last years in uni it's going to be ALOT more work and more stress and to balance this job with it... or any job for that matter is going to be tough. I'd rather not have one and pass my course, but then i don't have any money and i can't rely on parents etc.I don't know what to do.

We used to have heart to hearts really about how we felt other staff members treated the place and he said i was very hard working and hates to see me standing doing all the work while they do nothing. This new manager might be more firmer, he is aparently a nice guy though does everying by the guide book. It might change circumstances, but i was thinking if i get paid more at a supermarket then it might be worth it. I wouldn't have to deal with angry customers and i would do a fair bit of work and be in a team. I don't know if a new manager would change the current staff at all.. we've had quite a few managers already.but like you say... another manager might be really mean... i think i am being treated unfairly, but not nasty as such.. and you can't generally walk into a place of work and say to someone 'hey! hows the pay and hows the managers in here because i'm thinkin of applying!' you know?It's a tough decision... I wondered about taking a second job during summer to try it out while still keeping my own. but both would want me working full when term starts back up and i would need to leave one.

I know how you feel, Im only 23 and i have had my fair share of jobs. im usually a depressed lonely person so that probably doesn't help at all. and sometimes my anxiety is badbut anyways i was like that working for tesco a few xmas's ago the managers there treated there staff like total Sh*T, that really got me down because it was the first job i had in ages and i worked really hard at it even if it was just stacking shelfs at night, like you everyone else just messed around and generally acted like they didn't care about there job,If you really don't like your job then leave but try and find one that you think you will like and try work round your uni hours what ever they are. dont Leave your job unless you hae to try and find one first :) don't know if this helps sorry if it doesnt
