So........ I just requested a "personal: leave of absence from work. Management SUCKS and is not helpful. I am at the end of my rope. I am in tears every day and I can no longer take another day. We shall see how this goes.
@MrsBentoBako Quite personal story to share on this subject: I used to work for a very well known dollar store in my local area as a shift manager. They skeleton crewed every single shift and I didn't get much say on how many hours I got, or who I was replacing per shift I was scheduled. I was diagnosed that same year with severe anxiety and suicidal depression and was undergoing treatment. A few months of grinding the hours out, I put in for family leave. 1/2
@MrsBentoBako My then manager chose to yell in my face about this two weeks after corporate approved my leave request, and scheduled me for that week I requested off anyway. I ended up calling my therapist in absolute bawling tears, told her what went down, and she told me flat out "Honey, if this is how you are treated, maybe finding a different job will be better for you and your mental health." 2/2
@PaganMother
I am literally in tears right now and have been all day. I was "dressed down" yesterday for standing up for one of my employee. It's not my "job" and I need to let the managers handle this.
Continue on to today and another employee tells me to stop looking at her. I haven't looked at her for 2 fucking days. But OK.
I'm not allowed to stand up for my employees. I'm not allowed to berate my employees.
OK I'm fucking DONE!!!
Please tell me what my job title is.
Please tell me what my managers job is.
I CANNOT take them coming to me any longer. They cannot go to management, because they don't listen.
@MrsBentoBako I was a keyholder at the time. I can understand where you are coming from with this. It's belittling that they are treating you this way, but it does sound like you are in a position that puts a lot of pressure on you and a lot of responsibility for those you work with on your shoulders. I hope that you find peace and are able to break away from the company your working for, because it sounds like it's counterproductive for your mental health. *offers internet hugs.*
