Work struggles. - January 18th 2020, 03:32 AM

So I have two jobs - one is a full-time position at a childcare centre where I have been working there for soon to be 8 years. I've been in the same position since 2013 and haven't been given the opportunity to work my way up into a leadership/management role. They haven't even asked. There are staff members there that have been working there a less amount of time than me and who are younger that are in more responsible roles and who are getting paid more than me. I feel like the workplace has become to toxic and I'm slowly getting more and more frustrated over little things.

The other position is a new job where I'll be working at a country club as a bartender and gaming attendant. This is an 'upgrade' from my other hospitality jobs and this will help me complete my Diploma of Hospitality Management. Once I have finished, I'll review whether it's worth me having two jobs. However, as it's a new venue, they are still in the process of finishing everything to make it safe. I was supposed to be working Saturday for a couple of hours but I got an email on Thursday from one of the duty managers telling me that they had to cancel my shift due to my uniform not arriving (they wanted everyone to be in the right uniform as I was rostered on to be in the function area for a 'soft opening') and they are expecting the uniform order to arrive at the end of the month. They also had to push the opening to the second week in February which in a way is good for me so I can have more of a break before I go back to working 5-6 days a week. But I'm a little worried now that they'll turn around and tell me that because something has happened, I can no longer work there. I saw on their Facebook page in the review section that a gentleman had posted a review about a friend of his that had been hired and management turned around and sacked them because there was an issue with the references (whether something happened because this person had done something for the company to sack them before they even started is a different story but let's leave it at that ). It's seem genuine and they did tell me that they will keep me updated in regards to training dates and when the uniform come in.

I've been applying for so many different full-time positions where the salary is better and I won't have to work so much but because I only have experience in hospitality/customer service and childcare, a lot of the jobs I would love to do won't take me on because I don't have experience in that field.
