No job, dreading supply!

My sept job was withdrawn (not my fault, union involved)
I was on supply last year so I haven’t been paid since July.

I’m signed up to agencies and I feel sick to my stomach about it. I was with an agency for a few weeks last year and then went on a long term placement that I liked.

I just keep crying and being stressed, it was a UPS 2 role with a TLR that I was offered and I’ll never earn that kind of money on supply. I had mentally started spending my new salary and bought a new car (as it was a fairly big commute and mine was unreliable) I can now barely afford the car and am so wound up about it.

I cant share any more about the job as I’ve been told not to discuss it by union, which is also really unhelpful because I turned down a different job and I phoned today to ask if it was still available and they kept asking why my other job had fallen through.

Anyone got a words of wisdom to help me cope and not fall apart?

That sounds really shit. I don’t have any decent advice sorry but let your union keep chasing and get onto begging with job 2.

That’s dreadful, Whackawhacka. Can’t offer any advice but I hope you get some work soon. Good luck

I know this probably doesn’t help but there’s nothing worse on Supply than your car letting you down badly. You might find you need your car
