Got this job in this wannabe higher end store at the mall a month ago and from the get go I knew something was off. They try to act so much more important then they actually are. They checked all our bags when we left to make sure we didn’t take anything, I got chewed out for being a minute late to clock in, I got called out for pointing to something beside me. Then, they have the nerve to tell me the packing job I did was offensive when I never fully learned how to pack orders properly cause they only ever had like 3 employees.
Then the manager tells me we need to have a talk and of course I’m at my wits end so I go to the bathroom to try and sort my shit out but when I come back I get in MORE SHIT for going to the bathroom. So the manager takes me to the back (the sketchiest backroom ever) and talks to me.
Turns out the other employees were saying they thought I didn’t like them cause I didn’t speak enough to them. I don’t speak often cause I’m autistic and socially anxious and not trying to break down every 5 minutes. Also got into shit cause I wasn’t bombarding guests with promos as soon as they enter. I also apparently was so bad at being a cashier some guy returned everything he bought with me cause he didn’t like me. (Finding the last one extremely hard to believe after work customer service for 4 years)
Manager also had the nerve to say I’m too task focused and I’m extremely focused. Wdym too… least I’m doing my job. I quit there after a month of hating going to work anad crying after clocking out. Couldn’t even explain my autism to her cause the manager was some harsh stone faced lonely middle aged woman who probably probably eats kids for breakfasts and treats me like I’m mentally challenged.
So yeah if anyone knows any autism friendly places to work
