  • If they trained you to do it, who would do the job you're doing now? If they'd have to get somebody in to do the role you'd be leaving, then why will they get rid of you if they need you + 1
  • they trained me to do cash office , as i said would give it a go but now dont think i could do it , and worried if i say cant do it , they will fire me and find someone who can

    What is it that you think you might not be able to do?

    Were you doing other work for them before receiving the training? What has happened to that work? Is the cash office work something in addition?

    What sort of training have you received? Was it someone who does it now showing you what to do?
  • let me explain i will have been working for them nearly a year on 6th jan asked me in 6mth review to train is cash office as needed on sunday in addition to my work now as young girl will do admin on sun while im in cash office i said would give it ago and try the 2 people in there been training me, but i just dont get it and worried if say cant do it will get someone who can
  • What is it that you "don't get"? How long have you worked there?

    If they need somebody in the cash office, of course they are going to get somebody who can do it if you cant.

    Could yo ask for more training, have you asked yor trainers how you are doing.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Can I just clarify?

    You are currently employed to do one job for this company, and they have asked you to work in the cash office on Sundays, in addition to your current job.

    Is that correct?
    I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.

    Have more faith as they must think you can do it. Ask for things to be explained a bit more.
  • yes that is correct in addition to my job on sundays , i think my trainers think im not that good , i mean trying hardest and i just dont want to loose my job i love it i just cant do this part thought i could
  • i work full time - but they just want to open cash office extra day and asked me i was aphrehesive and wanted to give it a go , but now dont think i can do it and dont want to get fired
