So let me try and give some context and backstory, Me (15 M) work in fast food in the service part, but have been informally trained (meaning I can do all of the kitchen, but cant be scheduled because I’m not formally trained, still help when needed.) my manager I’ll just call M1 I started my first job in early November, I had worked a few months and gotten some good experience and knowledge, knowing all the sectors of my restaurants. Although I have had some minor issues and clashes with my managers, none of them have been very severe but still leave an impression. I would describe myself as a hard worker and do bend over backwards to help my restaurant. Although, for the past few months I have been asking about formal cross training since I prefer kitchen and already pretty good at it. Today my manager said he wont be doing it because of some minor flaws and issues in my performance completely overlooking my good work. Meaning I’m being now blocked from any kind of advancement and it’s not even worth me dedicating my time and will have better luck elsewhere. I’ve been looking for other job opportunities and I would like to know how I should go about transitioning out of my job currently. I have good references with a couple of managers who respect me and that genuinely enjoy having me around. I still want to try and maintain a degree of professionalism in spite.
I am just fed up with my managers giving me problems and taking advantage of my kindness and degrading my mental health from overworking.
How should I go about transitioning out of my job?
