I'm currently working in a supermarket and I hate it I get terrible social anxiety but it's mainly from the way staff treat me.

Track and trace job is contracted until end of January after then it will be a 2 week rolling contract. I have worked out we will be £300-400 better off.

OH doesn't want me to take it as it's not permanent and he doesn't want to be stuck downstairs with the kids all day.

I want to take it as I'm unhappy where I am now extra money and I'm working from home.

OP seriously consider your OH’s attitude here. You have much bigger issues than your job it would appear.

Jesus what is it with men limiting their female partners' work choices because they can't be arsed looking after children? Seems to be a lot of it 😠

Sorry but he sounds like a right lazy bastard. He doesn't work, and he doesn't really want you to work either because then he has to take care of the kids. And you're exhausted but still going, right?

I’m a sahm and I will admit I prefer it when DH goes into work instead of wfh. Mostly because the kids can make more noise and use the full house.

However we’d discuss any options and I wouldn’t be screaming at him. And the kids being downstairs wouldn’t be a major factor in the discussion compared to income and job security etc

It's with sitel I have ended up taking it and I handed my resignation in today. I really hope I've made the right decision. OH has come round to the idea now and thinks it a good idea but a bit worried about when the contract ends.

Hope you're ok, OP. I'm glad you took the job.

Dh worked for NHS Scotland doing it for a while, he liked it although it was monotonous as it’s the same script over and over and sometimes he needed to use an interpreter if English wasn’t the contacts first language which was frustrating. Other than that he liked it.
