I'm in a pickle. I was offered two jobs recently, so decided on one and left my job - which I really enjoyed but didn't feel I could stay as my hours were unstable and there was nothing they could do at that time to change them/increase them.
The job I turned down relates to what I want to do in the future, however the hours and wage were low, (although I could have just got by) however the shifts were stable unlike my previous job. The reason!for me turning it down was that the pay was low, and hours part time, and there are no incremental pay increases. (It's a charity)
I started the job that I accepted yesterday, the pay is good and increases incrementally to really quite a good wage. But so far I have an awful feeling about it. It's not what I thought so far and I have a bad feeling about management.. (they way my manager spoke to some staff earlier made me feel a bit uneasy, was nothing major she just isn't anywhere near as nice and approachable as my previous manager).. I had a sinking feeling this morning when I looked around and realised everyone just looked so miserable. I shadowed someone and was overwhelmed by how complicated the job seemed. It could just be the first few days, I don't know anyone yet, I'm nervous, I don't know the ins and outs of the job yet.
My question is should I go back to the job I turned down and ask if they could still employ me? I turned it down 2 weeks ago and the job was posted again and is still open for applications. Would that be rude? I'm not sure. I'm trying to put myself in the person who offered me the job's shoes and thinking about how they would react if I were to ask them...
Or, should I just stick with current job and see what happens?
What should I do? If I am going to ask the other employer, I have to do it this evening as the post closing date is tomorrow.
