Is it me?? I can’t even recognize myself in my current work place. I’ve never worked with strictly women before, all older than me, in a corporate environment (feels like we have no boss, instead replaced with a “big brother” 1984 kinda constant feeling of pressure)
I work at a hair salon place for balding people, all clientele has been coming to this place for usually 10+ years
My manager loves to correct every sentence I use to communicate a phone conversation I may need help with.
I don’t even have the energy or will to type even more, I feel like I never make sense, and the manger LOVES to throw that into a little jab.
I know the women I work with are simply coming from a more difficult life, and use defense mechanisms to cope with whatever feelings I apparently create for them.. it’s clear that many are insecure, considering how eager they are to find a mistake in any word or sentence I make out. Believe it or not, I do not truly think they’re mean people, I can clearly see it’s coming from a broken place, and I feel for them.
That’s why I’m not quitting tomorrow or anything feeling hopeless, but I so badly wish I could improve the environment..
How can I tho? I’m the youngest, and it’s clear that’s somehow threatening to their egos, so I do my best to dance around it.. I’m not in a management position nor would I want one in this company
