Really wishing I could love my job.

I got a new job a few weeks ago and I’ve been struggling so hard to come to terms that I’m probably never going to have a job I fully enjoy. This new job is easy, basically barista work for a small franchise (owners still loaded asf $$$), but god damn, they are so frustrating. The owners are a husband and wife duo, who runs things alittle different because they are foreign but the language barrier is almost never there, which is fine. What isn’t is when they both trained me at the start on different days, and constantly contradict eachothers training. Aka like today for example. I’ve been a manager since they forced me to open my third day of work. Today I didn’t mop and said in the work chat for the workers to please mop that night.

I got a new job a few weeks ago and I’ve been struggling so hard to come to terms that I’m probably never going to have a job I fully enjoy. This new job is easy, basically barista work for a small franchise (owners still loaded asf $$$), but god damn, they are so frustrating. The owners are a husband and wife duo, who runs things alittle different because they are foreign but the language barrier is almost never there, which is fine. What isn’t is when they both trained me at the start on different days, and constantly contradict eachothers training. Aka like today for example. I’ve been a manager since they forced me to open my third day of work. Today I didn’t mop and said in the work chat for the workers to please mop that night. The reason why I didn’t is because the male owner told me to mop every other day. The wife comes in the chat saying to mop every day, ok that fine. But the owner comes in the chat with a very rude response and mentioned “just because you are ‘busy before closing’ doesn’t mean you can leave your duties half finished’” along with complete lack of kindness. I did all my other duties besides mop. I’m just stuck feeling constantly under appreciated. My other leads and workers noticed they do this too and the owners will never take blame for their own mistake (for training something wrong/etc) and make you feel like you should have known better instead of just telling us how to do it right the first time. And god forbid we ask the owner questions. Anything we ask he will overexplain for several minutes (ex: he explained to me for five minutes straight on how to turn off an iPad.). They also message at weird times in the night, I just got a text at 3 am of them texting info . It felt nice at first but there’s just so many red flags but I honestly don’t have anywhere else to work right now .There’s so many other things I didn’t list that they’ve done that really makes me wonder how their franchise is still running. I just wish I could love my job.
