Bit of background. I left my previous job due to the lack of work life balance, unsociable hours, a shit manager and the fact that they could not have offered me full time. Had they offered full time I would probably have sucked up the shit hours because I mostly enjoyed it.
I have been at my new job 2 weeks and although the hours are perfect for me I'm finding it very boring. It's much quieter than where I was before and not a lot to really do, mostly just watching the very empty shop. Not actually sure why they needed someone tbh.
It's a tiny little team, only 5 other people 2 of which are very nice but not based there so I don't see much of them, a really nice boss who I don't see much of as he is always very busy and 2 others who seem to hate me. They have completely blanked me since my first day there and I can go hours at a time without them exchanging a word with me and ignoring me if I try to start a conversation.
They are civil when they do have to speak but don't talk to me unless they have to. I get told what to do and if I have done something wrong, that is it. I am receiving very little training and not enjoying it at all. The pay is good, hours brilliant and the employee benefits scheme excellent but apart from that, no pros.
I've now been offered a new position similar to what I was doing before. Slightly less pay but not enough to notice. Think like £30 a year less. Much busier, seem very friendly and my skills would be put to good use. The only drawback is the hours are horrendous. Workable but I would have even less of a life outside of work than I did to begin with. Their earliest shift is an hour earlier than I was having to do at my first job and the latest an hour later. I would also have to work weekends. I don't drive and have a long commute but I do have a test booked which would make the commute much shorter if I pass.
I just don't know what to do and have to make a decision by tomorrow morning. Wow that was long. Kudos to anyone who is still here. So what would you all do? On the one hand I have to be there for 9 hours a day and its important to be happy. On the other hand I hate not having a life or set shifts.
