I got a student job working at a front desk. I have to work alongside a manager. I don’t like working with the manager because I feel like I have no discretion and have to follow everything. All I need to really do is get my tasks done, but the manager is really particular with things. They always remind me to do things. I don’t think it hurts to do things my way. I’m not a person who likes to follow strict rules.
They expect me to put in a lot of effort when helping people, but I don’t get paid that much so im not gonna go out of my way to help someone. I just follow the handbook and whatever it says. I feel stressed being watched all the time and being super close to the manager.
I’m worried about getting fired because I’ve been making mistakes and the manager doesn’t seem to like it which is expected, but they wouldn’t have known if they weren’t working along with me as well. I wish that I just worked with another employee but it’s on 2 people at the front desk.
