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!!!
@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.*
@PaganMother
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.
