Hey partners, I was wondering if anyone else had this experience. So my location always asks me to do trash runs and each time I say no and explain why (bc I have social anxiety and my ex who I have a protective order against has violated his restraining order twice and I’m afraid to be out side bc he knows where I work and frequently drives through that area) and most of the time the shift leads understood and just had me switch tasks with another partner who was more than happy to go outside.
Recently a morning shift lead told me I had to tell our GM and I did and they were upset I didn’t want to do this task and explained I needed to request accommodations which I have put in the request for. Prior to this conversation I didn’t know I needed to make a request otherwise I would have done so sooner but I’m afraid they’re still going to try and ask me or if the request is denied I don’t know how to explain I will literally leave this job if they want me to go outside. I don’t understand why this is something they want me to do specifically when we have lots of people and other partners are more than happy to switch tasks. Has anyone had an experience similar? Does this sound like a weird situation or is this about the standard for something like this?
