I have debated asking anyone about this aside from a few people around me for a bit because i felt like id be judged very harshly, so i ask to leave all rudeness or bias at the door for this one (that doesnt mean no criticism, just please dont make me feel like shit)
So to preface, i am an overweight diagnosed autistic adhd 19 yo child of a divorced family who has had struggles with depression, and i was working part time at mcdonalds while living with my dad. Im not trying to use that as an excuse to be treated differently, its just information for possible reasons why i feel the way i do and why what happened happened.
Part time at mcdonalds is an understatement tho, i was working like 12-14 hours a week. But even then i found it really hard. Standing for that long was so hard for me that id be limping afterward and took several ibuprofen before each day at work.
I honestly hated working even that amount. The idea of working 40 hours is rediculously depressing.
I usually was put on fries because i had discovered a faster way to fold the fry package thing and a way to keep the fries more reliably fresh. At least i headcanon thats why because after i started doing it i started being put on fries almost every day i worked. Now that i say it out loud i feel like thats probably not why and im just weird but id like to hear what you guys think lol
The fries area gets stupidly hot. If i were to take a geuss id say its 100 degrees in there no exaggeration, all while in heavy pants and an apron.
One day my manager hands me a vest and says to keep it on for when i need to run out orders. I tried to lightheartedly get out of it like “wouldnt it be easier to just light me on fire?” They just glared at me in silence. I asked if i could just put it somewhere while i wasnt using it then put it on when im needed and they said if i didnt like it i should just go home, which i accepted. I tried to hand in my two weeks but they just sort of refused it.
Am i just a lazy wimp and need to man up? Im honestly scared to get a job because of how miserable my experience was for just 12 hours a week. What do i do? I need advice and help because i absolutely hate this feeling that i just cant work like everyone else.
