venti rant
i’ve been working at a licensed store for about 5 months now. I love my direct manager and my coworkers, but the store director (I work in a grocery store) is a literal demon. He has cussed me out in front of customers because of a medical issue I have (literally a tumor 🙃). he also always tells us that we just stand around and do nothing. meanwhile, the other day it was so busy I was crying for two hours straight because it was so busy that we weren’t able to get any side stuff done. it’s a good thing we are required to wear masks still and i’ve had a lot of practice hiding crying from high school lmao. we have been short staffed since two weeks after I started. they have known about the people leaving for at least a month before they do go, and still make no effort to hire anyone. then they complain when we make it known to them that we need help. to top it off they constantly complain about us having a long line and that our sales are not where they want them. WELL MAYBE WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET OUR LINE DOWN AND KEEPING EVERYTHING LOOKING NICE IF YOU HIRED PEOPLE TO HELP US!!!! my coworker also took a long vacation while we were training two new people (so there were only 3 people who were working who knew what they were doing). they totally deserve the vacation but that caused me and my coworkers to have a bunch of overtime, people who were called in to help us didn’t show up which left us stranded. I have been so proud of where my mental health has been, but because of this work situation I have felt it start to decline again. I will have my degree (minus finishing an internship in the spring) in december and I am trying to tell myself to make it until then so I don’t have to find a new job before the internship, but I absolutely dread going to work everyday and my anxiety and depression seem to just keep increasing. should I stay for 3 more months, or is it worth it to try and find a new job. I know the worth of my labor, so I think I could find something that pays me way more, but i’m trying to see if it is worth looking for something new for three months.
