Antiwork

Am I lazy…or in the wrong? Someone tell me, I want to improve.

I work at Taco Hell. The job application put me under the impression that I would be working service, and not line, as there were multiple job applications entailing that there were strictly different positions. Once I started working, they started throwing me on tasks that were not in the description. I dared to question it, asking why I was doing food work when I was hired on service/host work. They stated that everyone had to be cross trained and do all jobs, insinuating the application meant that. This left me bitter and feeling lied to, and I naively confided in my coworkers about having to do things that weren't fit in my description. They tattled to the managers, and now they're all convinced I don't want to do my job and that I have an attitude, and that I'm a pain to work with. Now on top of all…

Now on top of all of this, I also have a disability. (Severe anxiety and panic disorder, slap on some autism too). It's so bad that I've ended up in a hypertensive crisis, frequently stim, and am left unable to speak or communicate well. Hell, I've considered death to escape it.

I have stated this to my managers during the interview process. I have told them that if I seem adverse to something, that I actually do want to do my job and will learn it…it's just that I am horrified per anxiety issue. I need help, etc.

Today, I had to quickly get off the mic system, as I was near a meltdown and didn't want to disturb coworkers or customers. Manager disliked this and insinuated that I MUST communicate to them about it.

One…I can't if I'm about to spass, it's a jumbled mess. Two, HOW HAVE I NOT IN THE BEGINNING??
Three, I am not bothered by having to be cross trained, why is this not registering to them.

All of this for $12 an hour too.
