More work problems

[Skywalker]

Well im sure some of you remember the problems i had at work before christmas, Well they ended up transfering me to a different store, Now here is the new problem . They put me in a department where my back cannot cope with all the lifting and bending , I have been signed off for 2 weeks to sort my back out and then start physio , I just rang work to let them know this and they are now saying they will change my department BUT they will be changing my hours i work , The problem is i have to drive to work now because the new store is futher away and the wife doesnt have the car because of this and i have to go straight from work to pick up the 3 year old from playschool . Im really starting to think about if the company i work for is for me , But the problem is who would employ someone who can only work mon-wed

Sorry for the little rant but this company keeps annoying me

Regards Skywalker

If your not enjoying working where you are give it up, sign up with a job agency and tell them the times you can work and what jobs you can do. I can't believe the pay is enough to warrenty staying where you are and the job quality definatly is not.

Its the fact that i have a mortgage and a family to look after , thats why im still there . Im a general assitant aswell , So this only involves a lot lifting depending on what department your on , my main point is they took me from the job i was doing in my other store and put me in this new store to a department i cant cope with through no fault of my own

And maybe you're annoying the company? I know the last problem wasn't your fault but they've sorted that now and moved you to another job. Sorry to say it but you have to fit around the company, not the company fit around you.


Of course, this opinion is only based on what I've read here so the real situation may be different and far more complex.

Well its the fact that my back is bad due to the company, im in a store where i have to drive to work because of the company , im in a department that hurts my back due to the company . None of this is my fault as far as i can see

You were moved because of the other complaint, not just moved because the company felt like moving you. The company have probably done what they thought was best given the situation (rightly or wrongly). Did you or the company know you would have problems with your back before giving you the lifting tasks?

And the fact you only have one car and your wife needs it as well is not really the companies fault or problem.

I'm not trying to be an arse here, it's just that with running my own business, I guess I look at it from both sides of the fence

Yes i was moved because of the other complaint , but what the guy said was that they are moving me and not sacking me because there was no whitnesses , evidence or camera footage

It is also known to the company that i have this problem with my back because it happened at work and when i mentioned this when being put into the job role they said "its all we have for you"

I dont think your being an arse at all , I see your point of view and appreciate all that you have said
