This is a vent post so sorry in advance.
I work in a liquor store and I've been here longer than both my manager and assistant manager, so I know a lot about the department than they think even if I'm only a part-timer. My duties mostly consist of filling coolers and shelves (obviously), cleaning, ringing up customers, all the basics. My manager was off all weekend so my assistant and I worked mostly. But I especially like to do things like make notes about how certain alcohols are, pricing, suggestions, and I like to condense notes in our special request book by rewriting them so it's easier for our managers to read, and make single beers (little things, I know). It's a pretty laid-back, easy job. I make sure to ask every day if there's any SPECIFIC things that need done during the night and I'm almost always told “just the usual”.
Today my manager came back and was checking his email and he went to the back room with an email left up. I like to look at them to see if the higher-up managers want us to do specific things as well. Well the email was from my assistant manager, basically saying all the wrong things I did this weekend. The big wigs from corporate were supposed to be coming today so I was told to clean, face, fill (the usual). I dusted bottles, cleaned the runners, cleaned windows, did what I could within my shift. Apparently my cleaning on Saturday wasn't good enough and that my priorities aren't right because I had time to recopy the request book and highlight things. There were only 4 Coors Light in the cooler and no big bottles of Fireball on the shelf but
a) I've literally never been told we need to fill big cases of beer in the cooler (we have a big display of them warm out on the floor) because managers and vendors have always done that, and
b) I genuinely didn't know that big Fireball bottles were out in the main store, I figured we were just out.
Then she said I need to “step up with things that actually need to be done” and that I “monopolize the clean, fluffy, fun stuff”. That's absolutely ridiculous and hurtful to me because she's not even there during the night to see the bulk of what I'm doing. I bring up backstock and spend a lot of time doing that, among other stuff.
There's a reason I ask if there's any SPECIFIC things that need done because I need direction due to my mental illness. I feel like I do a lot for the company and my department, but apparently my best isn't good enough. I just feel so defeated and unappreciated. I'm also not the only part-timer, so idk why I'M expected to do more with the same pay.
