I feel stuck at my nanny job?
So I started working as a nanny about 5 months ago...I haven't asked for a single day off or anything and have always showed up on time. I realized not long ago I hate it and here's why: The parents are NEVER on time. I signed up for school with the agreement I get off AT 4:00 (to be at school at 5) but sometimes they don't show up until 4:45 or even 5 and then I miss my class! I have talked to them about it and an effort was made for a couple weeks then went right back to normal. Not much I can do now. Second, I asked to get off one day next week because we just found out my 90 year old grandma i intensive care and I was hoping to take a 3 day weekend. They said they can't do it because *they* already took too much personal time off and can't afford to take anymore time off. This tells me that they do not have a back up sitter, or any kind of back up which bothers me and makes me feel a little stressed about if I get sick or have to miss for emegrancy reasons (I am not one to miss work unless I am REALLY REALLY sick or if I were to get something like scabies). Anyway it put me off a little and I am getting frustrated. When I took the job the mother expressed she wanted a nanny to stay on at least a year (they have been through 3, and i think I can see why now) but it is taking everything in me not to just quit. They are a nice family but seem a little irresponsible and not very concerned with my needs at all. What should I do? I was hoping to stick it out till september but it's getting harder everyday.
I hate my job and I feel stuck here.?
Hi there I am genuinely asking for help because I don't know what to do. The job I was working at for 2 years recently made me transfer to a company they are partnered with because they sold my department, I was the only one who had to go because the 2 other people I worked with were directly related to the owner. I liked my old company and felt like I would be there for a long time. Well, I tried really hard to look at this as a positive experience but I've been at this new place for a month and half and I hate it here. It's a farther commute, I'm only getting paid a dollar more, the work culture is work really long days and work through your lunch, and if the supervisor catches you talking to each other she'll ask you if you need more work to do. Everything here is a fire drill, everything is an urgent matter, I can't get anything done because I'm having to move on to the next, and they have set me up to fail numerous times. I used to have panic attacks but for the past 2 years I've been able to keep them under control. But ever since I started working here they have been coming back and I can't fully concentrate on my work with all the anxiety I feel. I was talking to my old supervisor and telling her that I didn't really like it here that much and she said, "don't do anything crazy, give it more time, let us know before if you quit". Why would she say this? Is she worried they are going to look bad? I'm honestly fed up here and I don't want to go back tomorrow.
23 and feel stuck in life?
I was in your same situation when I was 23. Exact same. I mean down to the tee, overprotective parent who wouldn't let me do anything I truly wanted to do, a job that pays crappy and like you I suffered through it, but I tried to stay positive everyday, yet I became depressed about living the way I did. When it came down to it, my mom became a complete ***** towards me because I was out partying a lot and she did not like it. She hated me and told me to get out of her house. So I did. I moved out, and haven't been back since. I've become friends with my roommates and now am focusing on my own life goals. I think it would be in your best interest to get out of your parents house. Get out and be free from that nonsense. You're 23. You're too old to have a curfew at all. Best thing I found was to try to take as many hours as you can at your job and ask around to cover shifts for others so you become a person they rely on so they won't cut your hours. Even explain to them that you're moving out and you need the extra money. Just keep repeating that to people and make it seem as if it is your goal to get moved out. It would also be a good idea to start looking for a new job. Search aggressively. Instead of being depressed about your situation, be a bit angry. Show some emotion that will get people's attention. Go after what you want. Building a life is a step by step process. Step 1: Get out on your own.
I am 28 and feeling very stuck in my job. I would love to start something of my own, but how do I do this?
Well, first you have to have a better of idea of what the “something” you want to do is. It doesn’t have to be super detailed or anything, just a direction you want to go. Then list down whatever small steps you need to do to take you down that road. You don’t need to figure out a complete roadmap, just something to get you started. And if you can’t figure out what steps there are, then that’s one of your first steps. After that, it’s like walking - you simply take one step after the next.I don’t know what it is you plan or want to do, but here are some general ideas for next steps:look for a mentor. Look for people who have walked the path you have chosen or are already experts in the chosen field. Contact them and ask for advice. There’s a good chance they will decline, but some or a few may have a few small pieces of advice as to how you can starttalk to your family and your friends about what you want to do. Even if they don’t have direct knowledge of the area, they may be able to suggest ways for you to move forward or have contacts that can give you adviseread! Try to spend each day learning a bit more about what path you want to take and what you would need to get thereif you’re planning to start your own business, try to find out what are the specific legal requirements in your area to be able to do so. The admin staff at your office may be able to help you with thisGood luck!
What should I do if I am stuck in the wrong job?
Hi,Thanks for an A2A.Dude it is normal in any Indian life.One applies for one thing and he gets other.So no need to worry testing has also a good future outside. But your passion is coding.All you need to do is apply for developor jobs after 1 year of your service. Break the bond by paying some amount. Move out. Because 1 year of experience is some what better rather than coming out of now itself. You know in which platform your perfect. So apply for those jobs only.If you wanna work in the same company contact your HR and convince them that your passion is coding and ask them to give you one chance. If they don't accept your request follow my above option.Also follow your heart what it says.Your saying that your from middle class family. So better to be in this job and try after 1 year. Hope this will help you.

I hate my job as a nanny and feel stuck and depressed. What should I do?
I am 20 years old and I started a new job as a nanny a couple of months ago. I love children and grew up babysitting but I now find myself hating the job. There are three children ages 10, 5 and 15 months. The family I nanny for are friends of friends of the family so I have known them a long time. The husband is over in Iraq right now so the mom is working as a single mom. I have to be to work at 6:00 in the morning and she doesn’t get home until 6:00 at night. This makes for an extremely long 12 hour day. I get paid $400 a week minus taxes which is $309/week. By time I get home it is about 6:30. On top of working full-time I am taking a full load of college online classes (I am working on my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management.) When I first started the job she made sure I would be available for at least one year, possibly two depending on how long her husband was in Iraq. I hate feeling trapped and miserable but I don’t know how to handle this situation. I feel like I don't have a life anymore. Please give any advice that you can. Thank you so much!
Am I stuck working in a dead end job?
I hate my job so much that I have become clinically depressed and I fear for my health. I graduated from college with a degree in Spanish and Biology, but the only decent job I've ever had in my life, is teaching English as a foreign language. I taught English abroad for three years. I came back to USA and I almost regret it. I looked and looked and couldn't find a job, finally I found a crappy one. I'm a trained interpreter and I managed to get an unpaid internship at a free clinic, but the only paying job I could find was working at a supermarket on the weekends and I hate it, I hate myself and my life. I've been told (not by "qualified" people but still...) that "you don't have many options" and just to settle for this job, but it's killing me. I am depressed and tense all the time, and I live my life in chains. I work hard and then my bank account holds nothing but nickels and dimes. I'm so sick of being enslaved and living in fear. I hate the person I am, the loser who is still working in checkout. I long to be someone, to go out and be important. I don't get paid enough to have any freedom in life and it sucks up my time and crushes my soul. There has GOT to be something better, and I can't take it anymore.
