I've started a new job at a drug support service. I went through a company called headstart because I wanted a new line of work (I used to work with horses) but as I have a baby now I wanted something more safe. Headstart gives you 6 months at a company (paid) so you can fill your cv.
When I got the job I was so happy. I always wanted to work in this company and tried to volunteer there before. I was so eager to learn and really wanted to help users.
But they give me no work to do, i'm often sat by myself bored. And the work I have been given wasn't in the discription of my role and when I ask for things to do its always stuff that doesn't need doing. I feel it's just because they're at a loss for things for me to do. I find myself clock watching. The worst thing is that nobody speaks to me really. When I try and join in a conversation I'm often ignored and I have only made one friend although, as she speaks about everybody behind their backs I suspect she's doing that for me too. I'm totally miserable at work and often cry on the drive home. I wanted to work and make my family proud after a young pregnancy. The money is alright and I feel I can't quit because it means I've let everybody and myself down. I have a meeting with my supervisor next week and I'm wondering how to broach the subject on how to get more work. She never sets me work and I seem to be the tea lady or if someone needs someone else and they have to have me because someone else is busy (not often). I'm lost at what to do but it's making me depressed help?
