Switching jobs.

[3_10_15_first_time_mommy]

So im an assistant manager at a pizza place and im absolutly miserable here. Im sick of dealing with crappy customers and other managers that dont wanna pull their own weight. Its rough on my body cuz im constantly running around. I have to put away 2000$ worth of food twice a week. The boxes and trays of dough are extremely heavy and nobody likes to help. Im only 10 weeks so i can physically handle it for now but ik once i get a bump its gonna be even harder. Ive been here for 2 years and like how ik the ups and downs of everything. Im afraid of switching jobs and learning something new. Ive worked my way up past minimum wage and so any other job i get is gonna be a pay cut so im worried about losing money. I also dont drive so my bf has to take me to and from work and we work together so my job right now is flexable and we work the same schedual so rides arnt an issue but i worry about getting another job having a conflicting schedual. My boss alrwady knows im pregnant and i worry about getting a new job and having to tell my new boss im pregnant... Help im miserable and dont know what to do. Has anyone else switched jobs while pregnant? How did it go? Im so torn.

As a manager, you can delegate the work it to other employees, like binabops said. Also, as was brought up, your boyfriend should be helping you if he's physically there in person.

As for looking for a job, who says you have to tell them you're pregnant right away? They shouldn't base a hire on that. Look for one while you still can if you're not happy where you are. As you get further in pregnancy, it'll be harder to find time to look, let alone get hired when your are both physically and mentally exhausted.

As far as my boyfriend helping, he helps as much as he can however he has his own job to do so he doesnt have much time to help (hes a driver so hes always on the road). I try to make other employees do certain things but its diffcult because the only person they listen to is the store manager. Im sure they will help more once they see i physically cant do it anymore but for the time being its just frustrating.

i think you need to put your foot down and stand up to the other employees let them know your not the only one working! Talk to the main boss and have him/her talk with the other managers, it's just not that your pregnant they should all know the duties and help as we'll!
As for switching jobs you might have to look and get hired where you think will be best for you! Because if you leave and not have a job then that's just how it's gonna stay!
My thoughts! Good luck!

If your boyfriend works the same times as you why does he not help?

As an employer your company that you work for should be conducting a risk assessment etc seeing add you ate involved in heavy lifting etc. If this isn't the case then you should consult someone more superior. Every employer has a duty of care that they must adhere to. Ensure that those in managerial positions are aware that you are pregnant and that your heavy lifting work needs to be shared with other employees in order to reduce the chances of injury to you.
I would think that as the assistant manager you should be able to delegate the work out to those that work your shifts etc. After all, that is what an assistant manager is for, they endure that the work is carried out as and when needed and that doesn't necessarilymean it has to be done by you
