I posted on emotional needs, but nobody responded, so I thought maybe I was in the wrong section. Here goes:
Well, usually I just post about my daughter and husband issues on blended family going wrong. All in all, nothing new to report there. Same old, same old.
This is about jobs. I had a job and another offer that I accepted on Friday. Well, the schedules conflicted so much that I had to actually decide this morning to not continue with the job I am currently in, and go with the other job. I was in orientation for the job I already had, but had not started actual work. The other job schedule and this schedule conflicted, and I had to make a decision fast on which one to go with. The job I had(or may still have hopefully), was not one with guaranteed hours.
The job offer was for a good job with a competitive salary and good benefits. With the mortgage and all, that job makes more since. So, this morning, I called the job I presently had and told them that I really needed to have guaranteed hours and was offered a job with that, but would have to take it now.
I also explained that I would be willing to keep the current job,if we could work out a flexible schedule to continue my orientation at a later date, since it is a PRN type position. This was on voice mail.
So, I call the manager who is hiring me for the new job, who says there is some kind of a glitch, and I may not be getting this job. He says to come in anyway in the morning and to "chill". I had not realized I was not "chilled", but perhaps he gets this idea, from me making him aware that I have had to basically give up the job I have to take this job, so I hope it works out. So 6:45 am, I am to report to work.
So, I am wondering how, if there is possibly no job, I can show up and start working. I called Human Resources to see if there was anything they needed from me, and they said I could not even come in without them running checks on me, which they had not done, although I was checked off as hired. They said they would call back.
I know I am neurotic, but this is pretty basic stuff.
What should I make of this? Most of all, I want someone to tell me this will be ok. I am so panicked!!!!(I had other job offers on top of these that I turned down because of these jobs, so I feel stupid now)
