I worked at a famous food chain restaurant for a yr when I was 18. At my first progression meeting, I got told that although I complete all my duties diligently and in good time, they are not happy because I do not look happy, apparently. Spent a whole hour being told that we're a family and that I should smile more, not at customers (which I did) but at them lol. Thing is, I wasn't even unhappy, I'd just show up, do the job and leave. I actually had some very good friends who I still keep in touch with 10 yrs later. Funniest thing is, those two supervisors never asked me if there is anything they could do to help. Family is supposed to help each other right .
This company recently got dragged over the news for not paying its employees overtime (illegal here) and I got contacted to provide a statement, so I thought back to this moment in my life. I don't think I've ever been gaslighted more.
