I lost a stone of weight in March.
The manager went on long term sick leave and I was left up sh!t creek without a paddle.
I had to organise a full stock take in 10 days, oversee the installation of a new till system and deal with the fall out when it didn't work and left us with two malfunctioning tills.
We are short staffed due to holidays so I'm doing their job too.
I walk at least 20,000 steps a day and I'm too busy to eat.
I don't need no weight loss injection!
PS And for doing all that I get 35p an hour more that a new starter who's never used a till.
I think your boss/manager is taking the piss.
I worked as admin in the NHS for a few years before re-training. I wasn't one for just sitting around and also wanted to get more of an idea of what I was re-training for.
I started preparing the medical reports as well as reception duties. I ended up doing that and a lot more in my same part-time hours. This meant I was staying late for no extra pay. Not helped when my boss would have me sort out all her personal stuff like getting quotes for car and home insurance and all her home admin. All on the NHS dime, of course.
I went on sick for a fortnight with a nasty chest infection (and what I now know was probably exhaustion as I was working a second job in a pub 5 nights a week, having to stay late at the hospital on another and having a volunteer weekend job). While I was off my job was covered by a receptionist and another part-time admin assistant and a trained medical secretary.
I was told by my boss how much she'd missed me and how relieved she was to have me back but later found out the med sec alone was getting £12 per hour. I was on £2.50 and worked half the med sec's hours!
There's loving your job, which I believe I've read you saying you do on a previous post, then there's being a mug. I was an utter mug. Make sure you're not. If they won't pay you more, ask if they'll increase their contributions to your pension or something. 35p more than a trainee is taking the piss. And I bet the trainee does a LOT less than you.
She also has an underactive thyroid, mentioned for years. It is really difficult to lose weight with an underactive thyroid. People on here used to mention it a lot when comments made about AY's weight. Now suddenly she has lost loads of weight in a short period. So, she had been using something and QVC would do their usual lose weight our way and selling it.
Yes. An excuse for gaining weight and now a miraculous supplement that doctors somehow haven't caught heard of to lose it.
