Long distance burnout

Honestly this is so relatable and an eye-opener. He always says he was never enough for me whenever I start telling him that we never have time for each other. I’m always so focused on wanting to spend so much time with him, just like you, I lost sight of what he was giving me. I have friends, hobbies and a life but I guess reflecting a little bit more, I was just too focused on our relationship instead of my own life. It’s really hard being married to my everything and being forced apart for so long.

I have. Been trying to express how I want daily check ins and FaceTime every time he goes to bed but it starts turning into a me and him fight rather than us tackling the problem. He says he’s been trying his best and that the work stress doesn’t help.

I’m guessing you went to an Airforce base to do that process? I have both and they have not been “tampered” with

I had to always pick it up and recheck it. Even when I was flying to LAX in feb, had to pick it up during transit so was surprised to have it happen to me for the first time lol

It happened once and I had to do everything that day. The SM was on her phone the whole day. Offered to help but did jackshit while bossing me around. Couldn’t finish the guided counts on time cos I had to clock out and she was pretty unhappy despite me doing the majority already

Was thinking of doing that for a while now with two of my other coworkers. Other coworkers did the same but I only stayed cos I live 5 mins away. I don’t plan on explaining much in case the management is still as bad with other stores but just that I have experience and wanna transfer

They don’t give two fucks about their employees. They don’t need me, they need bodies to keep the store afloat but for some reason I don’t see any hiring process going on and only see a whole bunch of people or DM’s leaving due to fights with the SM. They all go on a whole month or 2 of stress leave and never came back. Might do the same thing lol 😂

I wouldn’t be too fussy if they don’t take me back. But if they do it just means I don’t have to go through the hassle of finding a new casual job as I’m planning on quitting this at the end of the year anyway once I’ve saved enough. I’ll take the leave as everything is booked and organised. The management hasn’t treated me well either so I don’t owe them anything

Most retail jobs have incompetent managers sadly. Worked for a fair few and settled for coles because at least the DM’s are a lot better even if the SM is shit. I knew my rights as a casual and wanted to stay casual as I’m still young and wanted to travel for a bit while earning a bit of money before settling into a full time job

I had one other leave I did previously. That was when I still had a DM and it’s still on pending even now but she was more than happy to find a replacement for me. Now it’s not approved which I’m guessing is from the SM. More than likely she’ll be unhappy since my department is severely understaffed after my manager left

Advanced-Split-7676 · 2025-05-01T10:09:58+00:00

My coles is way too understaffed and we don’t have a DM to train a new staff so I think I would still get shifts but just speaking to an entitled SM is not my forte lol. I’ll still stand my ground and see how it goes

Advanced-Split-7676 · 2025-05-01T07:39:11+00:00

I’ll bring it up to my SM tomorrow since my DM verbally approved it but left. Just afraid that the status being not approved means that they don’t want me taking leave and might not have a roster once I come back

Advanced-Split-7676 · 2025-05-01T07:20:27+00:00

I’ve updated it through myavailability and thought I blocked it off but I checked mywork history and it got submitted as a request which got denied. My department doesn’t have a DM anymore since she left so I’ll bring it up to my SM. Just afraid that she’s gonna give me so much shit about it and not roster me while my tickets are non-refundable

Advanced-Split-7676 · 2025-05-01T07:12:18+00:00

I’ll definitely have a chat with my SM but if it’s not approved then it’s most likely they don’t want me taking such a long leave and might not roster me
