Poor management and lazy workers makes for a bad environment

How's it going everyone I've been reading posts here for a while this is my first time ever posting anything. For a very slight amount of background I'm 32 autistic and I have severe PTSD from working as a prison guard for four and a half years. At 30 I decided to go to college to learn to work on cars so that I could work with machinery rather than people. My first job has a mechanic I left after 3 months because they were really screwing me over paying me a measly $12.50 an hour to rebuild engines and as someone who had never done such a thing I was very uncomfortable being put in that situation without proper knowledge to know I can make it happen. I'll let them know this they told me just to make it happen they were charging customers $120 an hour. Took me…


How's it going everyone I've been reading posts here for a while this is my first time ever posting anything. For a very slight amount of background I'm 32 autistic and I have severe PTSD from working as a prison guard for four and a half years. At 30 I decided to go to college to learn to work on cars so that I could work with machinery rather than people. My first job has a mechanic I left after 3 months because they were really screwing me over paying me a measly $12.50 an hour to rebuild engines and as someone who had never done such a thing I was very uncomfortable being put in that situation without proper knowledge to know I can make it happen. I'll let them know this they told me just to make it happen they were charging customers $120 an hour. Took me almost zero time to get extremely pissed off and quit. So to get out of that background let's go forward to right now. I am currently making $17 an hour working at TLE department in a Walmart. Which means I am a lube tech who works for Walmart. I do oil I do tires. Maybe a couple other minor things but that's literally all they'll allow us to do we are not allowed to do very much because they won't accept liability. For the most part I'm actually very happy with my job I like what I am doing I do not like the environment I'm in because of my fellow employees. The management is trying to push change and betterment of the area and basically saying that if we get more organized and work at a better Pace things will get easier. That's all bullshit. There are several employees who simply disappear during the shift and go hide somewhere while work needs to be done. In the meantime's employees like me are the only ones back in the shop so on a day when we have five technicians working only one or two will actually be working the other three have disappeared. Management does absolutely nothing about this. Does help to mention they are friends. I'm completely lost. I have struggled so hard to just get to the point that I'm at right now and it feels like I'm still at rock bottom to just make it by because of my struggles in life and everybody has struggles I get that some people just have a different path to follow. I don't want to quit I really can't afford to right now my only car just blew up and I'm pretty much going to be taking a bus to get to work. Is there any way someone can help me to mentally figure out a way to maintain productivity at my job so I don't get in trouble and be able to handle all this stupidity. Because it's fucking killing me.
