i guess it was a long time coming but it was so weird to finally do it. it wasn't even the customers....

long story short, i've been back and forth in the process of becoming a trainer. my sm says the asm will help work with me and i did a PDP only to be told I'll do another PDP in "a couple of months" to see where i'm at. yet the other trainers only had to do trainer modules and never had to train with the asm. so like.... it's pretty clear they don't want me to become a trainer, why go through so many hoops? it's JUST me.

so that kinda crushed me when i saw my coworker have trainer modules.

and then when i was going to bar 2 my coworker joked that she'd rather have the other person on bar with her and said "what am i gonna do without you?" etc etc and that combined with the disappointment of the trainer thing crushed me and i just broke down.

couldn't breathe in my mask and ended up throwing up,, so i had to go home then lol.

anyway. i'm just tired.

i know my coworker was just joking around, and i know normally i would have joked with them. but something just broke.

tomorrow is gonna be so embarrassing when everyone pretends to care and ask if i'm okay lmaoo

hey, i’m sorry this is happening to you. i would have a candid talk with your SM if your comfortable and tell them how you’re feeling.

take some time for yourself tonight to do things you enjoy. a bath, good snacks, whatever you need, because you truly deserve it. can’t stop people from being mean but we can learn to overcome it.

i'm definitely going to have a talk with her and probably withdraw my decision to become a trainer. it's pretty clear they don't want or need me to but i want to find out why. honestly, when my favorite shift left, everything kind of went downhill as she's the only one who genuinely likes and cares about me. i think it's about time to move on tbh...

but thank you so much. i had a good cry when i got home and slept for hours afterwards, so i'm doing much better now. i just don't want to go in tomorrow ughhh im dreading it,,

but your kind words help so much. thank you.
