the new store manager at my job is known for being sexist. I didn't know this until coworkers who worked with him at his previous store told me. then I saw the signs, heard him make comments, etc. i hated this job already, the shifts were 8+ hours long (retail job so it's not even like we're sitting) and I'm only an associate. supervisors and managers stay way longer than 8/9 hours.
because of physical problems, i realized I can't work more than 25-30 hours a week (30 hours is pushing it too). it wasn't a problem with management until the new manager came into the picture.
just the other day he told me he “needs me” to work more than that, asking why I can't, pushing me for more details when I didn't wanna get too personal… he ended up letting me keep my current schedule, but still it annoyed me that he almost forced me to work outside of my capabilities.
all because the store is “getting thinner and thinner,” and yeah people are quitting left and right, no shit. i wanna quit so bad but i still live at home, and I'm told i can't quit unless I get another job or i go to school. and school made me so depressed (so no i don't have a college degree). I wanna make money from home because my anxiety is so bad I've had panic attacks at work multiple times.
when i first started the job and worked over 40 hours a week (as a part time associate) I'd feel empty inside and go home crying. I'm only 20 and I feel so confused about my life and idk what to do. i really want to quit and move in with my boyfriend and do nothing but i know my family would never talk to me again.
i just needed to rant because I'm so frustrated and I can't talk to anyone in my life about it because they all say dumb shit like “welcome to adulthood, kid” and it pisses me off.
