I AM SICK AND TIRED OF MY JOB!!! I work at a nursing home as a receptionist. I work part-time, every other weekend and one evening a week. I’ve been working here for almost a year (April coming up).

The thing is that the weekends I have to come in, I always get talked about by nurses and aides. They talk so bad about me that it’s not even funny and I get this really weird anxiety where my heart begins to pound really fast, my head begins to hurt and my ears burn, and you know what they say: if your ears are burning, then it means you’re being talked about.

It’s so bad that even the visitors talk about me whenever they walk in the facility smh. I can’t take it anymore. When I’m at work, I break down and cry but I hide my tears when visitors come in and at one time, someone asked me if I was crying because they heard me sniffling and I lied saying that I was having an allergy.

I’ve written an email of complaint to Human Resources and she tried to help

Me but she said without giving her names, then she couldn’t help me. Where I work has a lot of people and for the past 10 months, I don’t really know everybody’s names and that’s bad.

When I go home, I feel so relieved and I don’t have to see or hear about work for a while, until it’s my weekend or evening to work.

The pay rate is pretty good, but the days and hours aren’t and my paycheck isn’t good enough to pay rent.

Now I was told that on the weekends, I won’t be able to be relieved for my lunch break and my 15 minute break ( I will do a poll). If I don’t get my breaks on the weekends, then I’m quitting!!!

I’ve applied to work for other places but sadly, they’ve turned me down because I’m under qualified or over qualified. However, I applied for this job that I know I’m qualified for and I hope I get an email soon.

I feel like I’m at the crossroads with this job. I want to quit but I can’t because I need to pay my part of the rent with the bills and I don’t even have any money saved up. One of the goals for this year is to put away at least $20 away everytime I get paid, but never did.

I have to leave this place because if I don’t, this place is going to kill me!!!
