Feeling useless at work

9 replies

user79099866 · 19/06/2025 08:05

I work in retail and in the last 3 months we have had 3 new staff join the team. Everyone has always had set jobs to do and the manager wants the new staff to learn these roles which is understandable.
So the new staff learnt all the different jobs and all the other staff have gone back to doing their jobs but mine have been taken over by the new staff.
So now I feel useless because I don’t have a set job and feeling like I don’t bring much to the team. It knocked my confidence.

Why female only?

I’d speak to your manager with how you feel.

I didn’t realise adult phone lines were still a thing days! Especially at £20 an hour for callers!

After some research this is an 18+ chat line for men. Perhaps include that in your spammy MN ads.

£10-20 an hour to talk on a chat line? And this is supposedly a 'choice' women make? Bloody hell, I didn't realise how desperately on your jotters you'd need to be to do that but now I do.

Oh, and reported.

Would you feel comfortable speaking to your supervisor about this? How do you imagine the conversation going?
