Just started a new job last week and I already want to quit
This is a minimum wage (plus some tips) job at an ice cream store run by the most strict drill sergeant of a manager ever. No matter what I do it feels like it's never enough for him and he's just going to yell at me anyway. I'm already moving pretty fast in general but he always tells him to move faster. I make mistakes cuz I'm new (today is like my fifth day on the job) and I'm moving so fast & stressed during rushes and he yells at me that I'm doing things wrong like giving ppl too much ice cream, making errors at the register or elsewhere and OF COURSE I'm gonna make all these mistakes when I'm new, going fast and under immense stress. Did I mention that I have not gotten a single break during any of my shifts? Granted these aren't super long shifts most of them 3-5 hours which is legal sure but he's always hounding us that we have to be doing something at all times and can't just stand around and talk
If this kinda sounds like boomer behavior then you'd be absolutely right he almost always manages to fit in a comment along the lines of “you kids these days don't know how to work hard…” whenever he says that any of us aren't doing something to his liking.
I almost had a panic attack in the middle of my shift today because of how stressed I was 90% of was caused by my manager yelling at me to move faster or that I wasn't doing something right. I cried when I got home and vented about this to my parents. A summer job at a fucking ice cream shop shouldn't be causing this level of stress and I'm gonna talk this over with my parents & friends tomorrow to get second opinions on what I should do but I really don't think I'm gonna talk to my boss and explain all this to him much less give him a precious 2 week notice before slamming my uniform on the counter and telling him I've had enough of his crap
