I started work last Monday, in a crèche in a leisure centre
Worked well as my mother in law lives next door so can do my school run and I'm back shortly after and so on
First job since having DD so thought maybe a good stepping stone to get a better job in a year or two.
Anyway, the job isn't working with the children at all, I'm a complete skivvy.
Cleaning toilets, washing up, making tea with the occasional nappy change thrown in but that's all.
The girls are all late teens / early twenties and seem to have taken a disliking to me for no apparent reason.
I'm in my 30s married, boring and a frump really so am no threat to all these young pretty girls. I work hard and don't mind doing the things they don't like doing so I'm really upset to why they don't talk to me, answer me with one word answers and generally just ignore me.
When I walk into the staff room it goes completely quiet and some snigger.
If I just can't face it again tomorrow will I get paid for this week I have worked?
I wouldn't mind but it's been a dreadful week, and a bloody hard 30 hours of work so would actually be annoyed to not be paid for how miserable they've all made me but during the six month probation it says I must give a weeks notice / they must give a weeks notice so this is what's worrying me
Thanks for any help Guys!

I very much hope you are not in charge of anyone in your job, if you have one

Lol, most experienced managers know that it isn't always the person who complains loudest who is the victim, sometimes it's the other way round.

Unfortunately the mob mentality is to get 100% behind the person who called "bully" first, good managers try to see beyond that to figure out what's really going on.

My manager cleans the loos, the canteen emptys the bin and pics up rubbish and fag ends from outside. We have a cleaner but if it needs doing and the cleaner isn't there she will do it. Or I will do it or someone eles will. It's all our place of work and we all want it kept tidy. Nobody in our work is too senior for a mop and bucket.
