Got a new job now I'm starting an apprenticeship at my local leisure centre, yes I will be getting the minimal wage which is £2.80 or something like that which is a big dip from £6.60 but this is so much better and I'm just glad to have found a much better job so quickly after leaving the sports center, this is what I wanted to all along, lifegaurding and fitness instructing, I might be getting a low wage but I'll be getting several qualifications to make up for that which is beneficial in the long run.
I don't understand people saying you have to grin and bear a job, I've seen and felt first hand how that can affect people, myself and my mother had jobs we didn't enjoy and stressed us out and it caused us to lose sleep and be tired and grouchy and stress isn't good for my mother in particular due to previous health, I'm so glad I left there because all my ex-colleagues have been telling me it's getting worse there and several have been very close to quitting like me due to the bullying
manager, why should people have to put up with someone trying to force you to work for free or trying to claim you haven't done enough hours when you have.
I left because I was expected to work 7-8 extra hours and not be paid for them and because I refused I was then bullied for not doing so, constantly finding fault and only coming up with negatives in my six week reviews, putting up with that is not fair on anyone because it can seriously affect your health
