i don’t hate anyone i work with, even my manager, let me make that clear. i understand we’re all struggling in this world but lord this job makes me feel so pathetic. i’m 19, i have friends who go to parties, who are making friends in college, and who are working toward a degree.
I’ve posted about this here before but being a manager at a retail job at 19 makes me feel so exhausted. I should be partying and making friends and memories but look at me, I work (sometimes at 4am) and I sleep. I work and I sleep everyday, nothing more. I don’t even wanna play video games sometimes. since I’m not getting a degree I’m scared I’ll be stuck in this cycle forever. There’s no chances of moving up at my job and most of my coworkers are probably violently against unionizing, so I’m stuck at ~$16/hr with tips.
It just sucks and I know a lot of you understand what I’m going through so I wanted to say something here. It’s been on my mind a lot lately and id love to talk with someone.
