I know this is easier for me to say than it is for you to feel, but don't feel stupid - it is a totally reasonable request on your part to seek training, if you feel you aren't comfortable complete the task with the knowledge you have of it as of now. Hopefully as you start to feel better physically, you'll feel more confident that asking for training was the right move.My throat hurts like hell (even after lemsip mixed with lemon juice and honey) and I'm feeling like a nuisance because I told my boss I'm not comfortable completing the task I've been asked to do this morning without training. He said he'll come tomorrow (he's based at a different site) and teach me how, but anxious brain says I've annoyed him.
I texted my partner about it and she said I was right to speak up if I felt I needed to be trained / supervised in carrying out a procedure I'm unfamiliar with, especially as it involves working with a dangerous gas and can cause harm to myself and others if done incorrectly, but part of me still feels stupid.
Update today:My boss is probably angry at me, for something I couldn't control. Also yay, love the fact they contact me when I am off. They always do this, but my mum said I should stop replying to them while off work unless I need to speak to them about hours or something.
Also, sandwich was bad, and she thought it was because I wasn't checking them?
If a customer doesn;t want a specific sandwich, its left there. I do check them, and she thinks it cant happen over night. But I told her it has with other sandiwches, as well as tarts. Now she wants me taking pics of ALL sandiwches morning and before clsoing; insane.
We shall see if my phone will let me, because half the time, it wont let me due to no storage, and I can't remove the images I have on there yet.
I mentioned something similar here. I can relate.This 75 year old at my job physically cannot do his job and it’s causing me to be buried everyday I work after him. He doesn’t even need the money and he just does it to get away from his wife. They don’t want to fire him to avoid lawsuits but I hate coming in on Monday and Friday being being buried because someone can’t walk around without a garbage can as a walker.
Complaining about this makes me feel insensitive but I can’t keep this in. I keep talking **** on him in my head, like he’s ****ing terrible.
