So stressed

[Quiegal]

I am really worried about my work as it's approaching Christmas.

I had been signed off work 2 weeks and we a message popped up on our work group chat that our store manager was leaving. He was leaving the company and then it seemed two other staff went too. Today I just gone back as I been off again and the assistant manager whom is running the store a manager is leaving in two weeks.

I am happy they all got new jobs etc.

I had to have a chat today with the regional manager as I have a nightmare colleague. I was reassured she won't be left in charge another manager will run our store as well as their own store.

Christmas is coming not sure how I will cope. Currently pregnant 25 weeks and have Fibromyalgia and plan to go maternity in January and not sure I last until then.

Feel very stressed as it's not what I need a the moment.

We do have 1 other staff whom been ther awhile but would say a new staff member and some new staff are starting.

I completely feel lost. The regional was so understanding about everything.

Sorry had to rush as my phone playing up.

I don't want to be insensitive but what is it that's worrying you about the situation? I'm not completely clear.

This co-worker as had several issues with her in the past. My till has been short but she known to be stealing. I can't trust and all the issues that the old manager stopped from her will happen again.

I am just getting back into work and not sure how I already with cope with my fibromyalgia. I am having a really bad time at the moment currently not even sleeping so when I go to work need to be working with good people not one that stresses the whole time gives you headache.

Between my health and everyone leaving and I'm left with her not sure I will cope.

It's definitely going to be a very challenging run up to Christmas now. As it get very stressful in the store as it is.

I feel so angry at the moment because I don't want to be signed off again so trying my best to hang on.

I have told the regional manager I have a book where I write incidents in to do with this colleague. I can see a lot happening from now until January just hope I can stick it out or I will go on maternity leave early.

Even the manager who left told me I need to be strong going back. He had enough of this colleague. But he left wanted a change to retail. One actually followed him because of this colleague who a nightmares. I get now why the other manager going too.
Just was at least hoping he stay until January.

They are advertising for new store manager and assistant manager but hopefully will start soon.

Please pray for me or I end up killing her. She not easy to deal with I was warned about her when I started that in 2019. No one can get her out. As much as sometimes I laugh at her the issues with her are serious.

I still feel so sad about all the staff leaving.

We are planning a Christmas meal but I suggested it should also leaving do for staff who has left or about to leave.

I made my ex manager and ex colleague laugh saying it feels like all this is a prank. They laughed at me.

Yes there are serious concerns about this colleague whom a nightmare. It's like this company cannot get rid of her.

Saying that I feel a bit better so bring it on.

Plus I have a book for work so be writing all the things that may arise in there.

Update

My manager who left just gave me a call and he confirmed what I already thought. I was worried that this manager from another store that will be supporting our store won't listen to my concerns about this nightmare colleague who is not a manager but basically runs the store from time to time.

I am so glad he rang me to advise me what to do I had absolutely no idea about maternity stuff and this risk assessment.

He told me be strong and I will struggle over Christmas. He not even there and he still cares as he know what this colleague like. He knows everything gone down hill since he left.
He knows the assistant manager that acting store manager until he leaves soon not coping at all.
So I do feel dropped in it.
