Antiwork

I’m writing this subreddit because I’ve been searching the internet for the answers to no avail. i’m a part time worker at a local icecream shop in Minnesota, and i go to school fulltime. on average i get 9-20 hours a week. i’ve had this job not even a full year (i reach 1 year in February) and i’ve taken breaks to go back to my home state during the summer and during christmas. i asked and they had no problems with this, and would schedule me back to as many hours as I could take on when I returned to school. this time, however, they didn’t schedule me when I got back.

A part of my job is asking customers if they'd like to sign up for an account with us by giving an email and phone number.

One day I'm called down into this little office space, but not any office space, this office space that is secluded and has a heavy duty door that I found difficult to open. For context for this next part, I'm autistic, which my management knew. She says “This isn't a threat, but your email capture is only 40%, and if you can't get that higher, we're going to have…

First time I’ve had a “professional” job (aka desk job) that isn’t giving me MLK day off and I’m quite grumpy about it.
