I'm 17f and I used to work at an ice cream stand when i was 15. I have hearing aids in both ears and can sometimes struggle to hear a conversation if someone else is screaming and on the day this took place my only other coworker was almost entirely deaf and one of my hearing aids had died during the shift. Well one day I'm at work and I'm ringing up customers and this one lady comes up with a kid who looks around 6-7 years old and the kid is screaming about wanting ice cream. This kid wasn't just being noisy they were screaming at the too of his lungs and I could barely here the mother. I politely asked if she could have him stop screaming so that I could hear her order. Well a week later I see that I'm not on the schedule at all…

So my boss has scheduled a meeting for tomorrow, I've found out through a supervisor that it's something to do with me 'being slow'. Which is complete bullshit since I work the same pace as everyone else. I do my job right every day and no orders have ever been missed or not gone out due to us slaves. (This guy clearly has an issue with me, everyone sees how he speaks to me and for example the other day he was cracking jokes with a group of guys near his office, I walk past and his tone dropped as did his face and his laugh and he says Infront of these people 'i told you to make sure those orders were finished before you left yesterday' to which I replied 'they were. And if you checked your email you'd see why one was left behind. No apology for speaking…

Always write shit down, y'all. It came up for us today because my husband's coworker (the only other person in his region in the same role as him) was fired today. This person is negotiating a severance package using the records they kept. I've told my husband to document every additional task he takes on in their absence, because they don't plan on replacing this person (also, fuck that), because he needs to negotiate a pay increase. Document everything. Keep a fucking work journal, e-mailing your personal account from your work account with any important daily details, such as incidents, additional work you did, coworker layoffs, etc. Keep it in a folder kr give it a label so that it's easy to go through later. This probably sounds excessive, but I assure you it's not.
