Rant: I recently finished school and have since been working in customer service for 7-8 months at this point. I'm very high functioning and i pass as neurotypical, but i feel like i'm struggling with overstimulation on a daily basis. Originally i started off as part time, but i've been pushed to full time, as if i wasn't feeling burnt out doing just part time.
Originally my biggest stress was lack of workplace training, you're just put on the spot and expected to know how everything works. I remember when i was first put on phone call duty, without knowing how to use the computers, but was still expected to do my job to the fullest. Currently the worst part of my job is difficult customers/clients (which you're just expected to tolerate) and understaffing. Whenever we're understaffed customers/clients like to take it out on us. At this point i'm stressed/anxious throughout the day and even when im home after finishing work.
I just sorta bottle up all my emotions and put on my customer service personality all day. Another thing is i've also been bumped up to full time, when originally i had been working part time. Some weeks i work 6 days a week.
This is my first job. I've only been working a few months and i feel burnt out, how the hell do other adults manage this shit? I cant even imagine working for the rest of my life
