i’m 19 and started working at a grocery store about 6 months ago. i’ve been told that i’m a very hard worker and my manager even got me flowers and cheesecake for valentine’s day for how much i do, which of course i appreciate. but this job has me constantly burnt out and i feel stuck. recently i’ve been scheduled more, generally 5 days in a row, one day off, then repeat. i asked for 4 days a week a few months ago, which i got for maybe 3 weeks. i also now have to do some closing shifts, which i was able to negotiate leaving at 6:30 since biking home at night as a woman scares me. hopefully within the next few weeks/months i will have a car. but i think until then im just stuck.
