Hello I am 20(M) And I recently started(6 days) to work at a mall of sorts, that is 20 minutes away by foot. I walk 0.6 miles to, AND from work every day. So that is about 1.2 miles sometimes over 2 miles if I cannot get a ride that day.
And I work from 2 PM to 11 PM
For instance, I have an hour “lunch” and I would have to jog to and from my home under 20 minutes in order to eat for 10 minutes and jog back to work and be totally wiped for the other four hours I have to work.
By the time it hits 11PM I am already half asleep by the time I get back home.
Sometimes I am able to pick up a ride for lunch so I can enjoy dinner with my family, and not worry about being late.
I am diagnosed with ADHD (and depression and anxiety, not important) and I have undiagnosed Dyslexia that only really affects my ability to read whenever I am rushed to do so. Hence making me a slow reader, it does not reflect my intellect nor my ability to write(important later)
I stock the shelves at this department store, and that means I walk untold distances for 8 hours in 4 hour incriments, ontop of the 1.2 miles I walk to my work place itself, it leaves me with severe pain in my feet and lower legs. Sometimes, I even unload the trucks and get product onto huge carts and pallets to later distribute to the rest of the store and stock those very same items onto the shelves.
That day, I was having a very hard day and my leg pains were surpassing my pain tolerance threshold so on lunch I decided to take an IB prufen and ate arby's with it(BAD IDEA)
And on my way back to work from my lunch, I almost fainted but decided to finish my shift anyways, as time goes on; I got VERY tired and sick and I was fighting my own stomach so I wouldn't vomit infront of the customers, I communicated to my first manager that I nearly fainted(because we are required to do so) and he asked if I was good to go and I of course said yes because that day was busy and we were understaffed. Now my OTHER manager prefers Quantity of work over quality, He walked up to me and ask me why it was taking me so long, I told him that I am not feeling well because of a medication I took.
He then said “if you have a underlying condition, you are supposed to tell upper management”
I then replied I took an ib prufen and I believe it was making me ill, and he scoffed at me and gave me a wry laugh.
Usually I am an understanding guy, I try to see from the other person's perspective. HIS boss was on his ass about productivity and I believe that he was letting out his frustrations out on me.
He then said “if you cannot complete the cart in 45 minutes I will have to schedule you for a meeting about your productivity, you should be running to get this cart done”
This. Sent. Me. Into. A. Anxiety ridden. S P I R A L
And I nearly vomited on the floor, granted there wasn't that much left on that cart so I rushed, and I wasnt really reading because I was panicking.
I finished that cart and he wanted me to do that cart and another before I leave “and that would be more than the time neccesary”
So I finished one cart, and I was in the cereal isle stocking cereal boxes, now here is some more important information, he knew where I was AT ALL TIMES because he made sure to tell me the isle I needed to be in.
So I “plugged” a product into the wrong spot in my anxiety ridden stupor
He called my name over the STORE SPEAKERS. I froze and I was embarrassed because some near by employees were looking at me. My. Anxiety. SHOT UP LIKE A ROCKET.
We have an app that has a texting feature that we are required to use, we use it to scan items and communicate with one another, like a glorified walkie talkie system. He didnt text me one singular time, nor did he privately come and escort me to the office. Basically he laid into me(with non offensive language and a monotone of one punch man himself) about me being lazy without saying so. It was over ONE ITEM OF A PRODUCT being in the wrong place, both managers were in there and both were aware that I walk to and from work and I was ill.
The kicker, I have a meeting with employee services today to switch department's and work hours more friendly so that I can spend time with my family. (2-11PM isn't doing me favors at home or health wise)
I typically do not snitch on others especially if they were having a bad day, but I think I was being embarassed because my boss was under pressure from his boss, even so.. It doesnt mean he could treat me so horribly despite my given circumstances. I usually am a decent worker and I can work fast if I am perfectly fine, and I am easy to work with. And I catch on very quickly, and I can tell if someone likes me or not or when I am wanted or when I am being pressured to leave.
He does not like me and my efforts to form a professional relationship with him have fallen flat and he acts as if he does not like me as a person and sees me as a hinderance moreso than an asset to the team.
He is nice to the other workers, but he treats me so coldly.
Should I report him, or just quietly shift to a different department and list “personal” reasons to why I want to work days where he guy isnt working and be a part timer untill my request to change into the desired department is finalized?
16 dollars an hour is not worth my mental and physical health anymore. What should I do?
