i follow the walgreens store sub, bc this place is terrible im not going to like to you. and it was really nice to see other people with the same problems, circumstances or even funny situations as me.
yesterday, i bit the bullet and made a post about the incessant micromanagement at my store over trivial things (such a dress code, headphones, books). despite the fact people (myself included) have complained about mistreatment and harassment from our peers and customers.
so for me, if im constantly being shirked and my needs aren’t taken into consideration i will not care as much as i used to (in life and work) because i used to go above and beyond and honestly it hasn’t done me any good considering how much my pleas and requests have been ignored by the SM
now this isn’t to say i don’t do anything, just last night i stayed an extra two hours (a manager made a cashier cry ((again)) knowing i had to open at 7am. mind you, there are days where i don’t take breaks or i stay longer to help when i get no recognition for it! not as much as when i take a moment to just BREATHE and recalibrate my brain. that is definitely noticed lol.
for example when i go in at 7am i immediately do my morning tasks so i don’t fall behind when it gets busy, i do anything else that didn’t get done the night prior mind you. when that’s all said and done, between customers i read some of my book. if another thing pops up, i’ll do it. after a certain point of saying the same thing and being up on my feet i’ll get weary and pop in a earbud, just to keep my energy up and pass the time.
that really angered a lot of people
“you’re lazy!”
“there’s always something to do go do it!”
“you’re the reason why i hate my coworkers!”
im not a robot, and im no fool. i taught myself how to do everything in the front, i train people and i even teach managers how to do things. but a place that doesn’t respect it’s workers, doesn’t deserve all of me.
