Hey everyone, every time I post here it seems to be about work. I’ve recently got a promotion, I’ve been offered the job of funeral director, I used to be a funeral arranger.
From early on in the process my family and friends told me I should go for it. I never wanted to, but I caved and went to the interview. I was offered the position the day after. I was and still am absolutely gutted because I don’t feel capable ( crippling self esteem issues).
Anyways I’ve been moved to a different branch for the position, however, due to moving my wage over or some crap like that I’ve been sat doing admin work with the main receptionist... not my previous job role or the one I’m supposed to be doing. For reasons I won’t get into because it would take too long, I’m triggered by admin and I’m really bad at it. Seems ridiculous I know. I didn’t even know that’s what they had planned for me while they did the wage switch. I turned up on my start date (they told me the day before) and I was suddenly roped in with answering the phone etc. They have never specifically told me what my role was to be, the manager wasn’t even there the day I started. I know this is supposedly temporary but I’m at my wits end. I’m exhausted, when I’m not at work I sleep lol day, I’m on the verge of anxiety attacks at work, I’m not myself. To top it all off the woman I’m working with is let’s say, not a nice person. I have spoke to my manager but he’s saying it’s out of his hands it’s up to HR. I feel like ringing in sick tomorrow because I am DONE.
btw they can get away with this because the job role is technically the same, although I’m ‘funeral arranging’ for 4 branches now and doing a lot more on top of that
