I finally quit my 1st job
This is my first job ever and it wasn't a good experience. I got hired through connections and felt under qualified. The higher ups aren't really nice to me because I made a lot of mistakes. After 3 months I decided to quit because the job stressed me out. I ended up crying a lot when I came home too. I had a meeting with my boss and she told me "that's nice you offered to work 2 weeks but I think you can leave today. Because to be honest, I don't want anymore mistakes." My boss has also told me before she only hired me because I know the manager personally.
I'm aware that I'm not a good fit for the job but her words still stung a bit. I've also complained about work in previous posts. Because it was my first job I didn't immediately notice the red flags. I started noticing when I talked to my friends about it and posting on Reddit. I realized the boss doesn't seem to like me, and the manager is insanely strict because since she recommended me it reflects back onto her. Then I ran into a few rude customers, and when I tried to help them I felt zero support from my manager and boss.
Even on my last day of work, a customer yelled at my coworker. I couldn't really help because I wasn't sure what to do. 814
My manager doesn't work on that day and my boss was no where to be found. When the customer left, turns out my boss hid from them and came out afterwards. I really wish when we face a rude customer, we should support each other and face them together. But it's one person handling and everyone else doing other things.
At least my coworkers are nice to me. The one who got yelled at actually told me she'll handle the rude customer. Because she saw me talking to them and they were a bit irritated so my coworker took over. I felt bad but also glad she was able to handle a rude customer, because I don't think I could do it. She's always calm in these bad situations. I thanked my coworkers on my last day, some of them gave me snacks and hugged me during closing hours.
I finally got hired without any help in retail and is currently training. The people there are pretty nice and helpful so I hope I'll like that job. Thank you to all the Redditors reading my posts, the comments were quite helpful. I don't think I'll be posting here since I'm no longer working at a front desk. Maybe the retail subreddit but I hope I don't run into too much problems working in retail. 814
